<p>I can't pick just one, so here's the list:</p>
<p>Harry Potter
The Lord of the Rings
The Amber Spyglass
The Aeneid</p>
<p>The Andromeda Strain.</p>
<p>Best book in the flippin' world!!!</p>
<p>The</a> Discoverers</p>
<p>The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky (long but totally worth the time)
In the line of fun/inspirational books, The Alchemist is a great (and short) parable like novel
I'll also second whoever it was that said The Amber Spyglass (the whole His Dark Materials trilogy actually)
And for anyone into epic poems- Paradise Lost by Milton (Pullman's inspiration for His Dark Materials)
And since I'm compiling quite a list already, I'll add Ulysses, a fantastic stream of consciousness style book, although it is a difficult read, especially if you're not familiar with Joyce (and even if you are actually)</p>
<p>Anything by Isabel Allende, particularly her novel House of Spirits.</p>
