In a fit of cynicism and angst? Franny and Zooey by J. D. Salinger. As perfectly described by book-a-minute:
Franny: Why is everyone so ignorant!
Zooey: Why are you so ignorant, you little punk.
A lovely tale with all the love and guts cut outta it. You get the bare bones of society, humanity, and the reality of coping with reality.

I'm pumped for it too, but I don't know how they're going to write it when the series isn't even finished. O'Malley had better get crackin'.

Here's my contrabution:
1984 by George Orwell ~ I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this yet (or I totally missed it). This book is excellent, basically. It is just as relevant, if not more so, than it was first written in the 1950s and will make you think: are we so far away from making Big Brother a reality? It makes you take a step back and assess the world we live in, plus, it is an easy read.
Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet ~ This book put my on one of the longest emotional roller coaster rides I have ever experienced with a book. The way the author was able to show the lives of so many characters in so much depth and make each one unique and personable (whether they were evil of not) was so creative. But keep in mind: this book is HUGE just short of 1000 pages, depending on which book you buy. But the book is so involved and the plot moves so nicely that the length is hardly a bother.
The Inferno by Dante Alighieri ~ Written in the 1300s and and the first book of the trilogy, The Divine Comedy, and even though some of the people found in the circles of hell are not so relevant now, the crimes and punishments still are. It is an excellent book that I recommend if you are interested in poetry (of course, I've only read the english translation, so I've not experienced it fully, but I have no intention of learning italian!!), be sure to get a book with notes... or you'll be sorely confused. But it's a lot of fun to read about the tortures (because humans are twisted like that -_^)
and finally:
Dragonflight by Anne McCaffrey ~ Awesome combination of science fiction and fantasy, this book is just fun to read. Of course, it helped that I love dragons (yes, I'm a nerd and I approve this message). And if you liked this book, might I suggest the two succeeding books, DragonQuest and The White Dragon?
