The sword of Truth Series by Terry Goodkind. If you like the Lord of the Rings series, read the entire set of those. I think there's 10 or 11 of them so far, with 2 more to come. :O

Oh, and about The Da Vinci Code--I've been recommended (I haven't actually read it myself YET) a book called The Rule of Four. I heard it's like DVC, but smarter.
I really liked Murder on the Orient Express.

There are 11 Sword of Truth novels, with one more to go. The first one is called Wizard's First Rule.. yes, it is about magic, to an extent, but it's really more about the trials of men. I read the latest book, Phantom, in one day.. it was really good.

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson
and
One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey
Without knowing it two of my favorite authors turned out to be major players of the 70's drug culture.
I also love The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath
LoL, I'm listening to One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest on my iPod while I work on the line at GM. It's kind of boring, but I think I also can't really get a full appreciation when I have to sometimes stop paying attention to it for a little chunk of time.

I hated doing analyses on The Colossus and Other Poems my senior year in high school. =\

quite a hard read but hilarious none-the-less
Okay, I wasn't going to get enmired in this discussion, but I do have to say that if you're going to read Schrodinger's Cat Trilogy, you must first read the Illuminatus! Trilogy. I thought Illuminatus! was pretty good, and Schrodinger's Cat was sort of... meh.
