I like the controversial classics the best. In some semblance of order:

Brave New World
The Stranger (The Cure did a song about this one called Killing an Arab)
Fahrenheit 451
Animal Farm
1984

There are others along those lines that I can't remember that well.

Dan Brown is decent, though people seem to disregard anything that doesn't have ROBERT LANGDON (i.e. Digital Fortress/Deception Point). Robert E. Howard is pretty sweet too (author of the Conan stories). Also, for a great science fiction book, read Battlefield Earth by L. Ron Hubbard.

I wish I kept better records of what I read, but there are some.

Scott Orson Card- Ender's Game, DANGEROUSLY addictive.

[Senvae]

If you haven't read the series: A Song of Ice and Fire, by George RR Martin I STRONGLY recommend you give it a shot. My personal favorite book of all time is the 3rd installment called "A Storm of Swords".

I like to read Drow books even though the authors aren't always the best, but the universe was a wonderful creation.

The Abhorsen's Triology are pretty good books. I like the Necromancer's techniques with seven bells and seven gates of death. A very imaginative world, just like I love it.

As far as GZF stories goes: Sigh's short works are usually good entertainment. I haven't been able to finish all of Admiral's work but he writes very well. Nosedigger's Dust-Up is a promising work in progress. Wixern's stuff is worth mentioning too, usually entertaining.

PS: Thanks for the free advertisements Sarcor, lol.

Edit: Thank you to those who mentioned my work, Fiery Lotus 6 is incubating don't worry about it. I haven't given up on it.

My favorite outside books are:
The Kite Runner
Umbrella Man
Sophie's World
Nine Stories
Of Mice and Men
Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim

I refuse to read anything by Mitch Albom on principle.

That is, that he faked Tuesdays with Morrie. My girlfriend's father knows him. Guy faked the majority of that book.

I didn't really like Tuesdays with Morrie, or most of his other works (Fab Five, Live Albom [or w/e it's called]). But I really found that one book he wrote was pretty interesting.

I haven't read a single Harry Potter book before; I don't think I'd have the paitience to read 400+ pages of text for a series of seven books.
