:lol: I'm sure someone's already posted something like this before, but oh well.
My favorite books are: Left behind series, Lemony Snicket, Sherlock Holmes, :roll: I also like some of Shakespear's stuff too, like Twelfth Night and Romeo and Juliet.
The book to read is not the one which thinks for you, but the one which makes you think. No book in the world equals the Bible for that.

Shakespeare doesn't really count as a book.

But anyway:
The Lord of the Rings
Deenie
The New Jedi Order series
I Love You Forever
The Paper Bag Princess
The Devil's Arithmetic
Dark Saber
The Mists of Avalon
I am Mordred
I am Morgan le Fay
The Outsiders (The ultimate YA novel)
Any adult fairy tale retelling (the Ellen Datlow/Terry Windling series is great)

"Fight Club" and "Survivor" by Chuck Palahniuk are both amazing. "Bluebeard" and "Slaughterhouse-Five" by Kurt Vonnegut, who is one of my favourite authors... so is Palahniuk, really. "Born Confused" by Tanuja Desai Hidier. "1984" by George Orwell. "Memoirs of a Geisha" by Arthur Golden". "The Mermaids Singing" by Lisa Carey. "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" by Horace McCoy.

Many others. Books are so amazing.

Bluebeard. Ew. I hope you don't mean Atwood. My friends and I have come to the conclusion that she eats small children. She is very scary.

Bloody Jack, by L.A. Meyer
Breath, by Donna Jo Napoli
Artemis Fowl, by Eoin Colfer
The Year of the Hangman and The Shakespeare Stealer, by Gary Blackwood

No, honey, by Kurt Vonnegut. It's one of the best books ever.

Margaret Atwood scares me too.
