So, what're your favorite book(s)?
Mine have to be Tamora Pierce's books, the Artemis Fowl series, and Stephen King's books.
And the Noble Dead Series (Barb and JC Hendee) the Mything books by Robert Asprin
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy
Callahan's Crosstime Saloon & sequels (Spider Robinson)
That's all for now...

Trainspotting - Irvine Welsh
And the a** Saw the Angel - Nick Cave
Foucault's Pendulum - Umberto Eco
The Count of Monte Cristo - Alexandre Dumas
Les Miserables - Victor Hugo
All of the classics
Anything by Hemingway, Shakespeare, Eugene O'Neill, James A Michener, H.P. Lovecraft, etc, etc, etc
And embarrassingly enough the Horatio Hornblower books are a guilty pleasure.

It's a series set during the age of sail, more or less, surrounding the accomplishments of a young officer in the British Navy. Not for everyone, but they're entertaining.

-The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy "trilogy" = my frickin' Bible. I'm not kidding.
-Good Omens This book is just effing brilliant (it should be, it's Pratchett/Gaiman).
-The Dirk Gently books I love Douglas Adams. His books are just brilliant. British authors rock my stripy socks.
-Ringworld It's where I nabbed my name from. It's worth mentioning.
-American Gods Neil Gaiman is GOD. Also, this book has pantheons that are worth mentioning (Greco-Roman stuff just isn't my cup of tea).
-Thursday Next Books Okay, any Jasper Fforde is great (yet another British author who writes sci-fi-ish comedy, hmm, a pattern?). He's witty and just cool like that.
-Time Enough For Love A sci-fi book, honest. By Heinlein. It's long, but good.
-The writings of Philip K. d**k. He makes me a bit crazy, but in an interesting way.
-The Sandman Series Neil Gaiman. Again. They're comic books, so technically books for these purposes. They're dark and they are blowing my freaking mind.
-Studio Foglio comic books. Because they rock as well.
There are others, I know it. I just think of anymore right now.

Discworld was amusing when I was in school. Now I don't have time for them. Comedy has its place, but I prefer it mixed into another genre. Comic relief rather than straight comedy.
Dark Tower books pretty cool too.

-Anything Dragonlance. And I guess in extension anything by Margaret Weis
-Anything by R.A. Salvatore
-LotR
-The Silmarillion
-The Chronicles of Narnia
-Bram Stoker's Dracula
-The Vampire Chronicles (Interview and Lestat, anyways)
-Vampire Hunter D series
-Anything by Edgar Allen Poe
Edit:
-Lilith by George MacDonald. I absolutely loved that book.
-Magic: The Gathering books. Sue me. I'm a geek. They're well written.
Get the picture? I read lots of fantasy... Though I hate Harry Potter, and don't really have any interest in reading Eragon, or any of the Golden Compass books, whatever the hell they are. Polar Bears don't really seem that interesting to me.

'Lolita' by Vladimir Nabakov is my favourite book. Other good ones are 'Neuromancer' by William Gibson and 'The Wind Up Bird Chronicle' by Haruki Murakami.
