Mine has to be Terry Pratchett and the Discworld series.
Great characters, great humour, and a lot of social commentary.
Also, War and Peace (the first half).
"God Is Not Great" Christopher Hitchens.
"The God Delusion" Richard Dawkins.
"1984" George Orwlell
"Animal Farm" George Orwell
"Charlotte's Web"
A survey (don’t exactly recall when or who) concluded that about 30% of people who claim to have read ‘1984’ were lying about it.
Not accusing you or anything, just an interesting factlet.
Personally, I’m convinced that 100% of people who claim to have voluntarily read ‘Moby Dick’ are lying about it. It’s the sort of book one only reads under duress.
