Shameful, took till page 4 for someone to mention Faulkner, the greastest american writer in my opinion. I heartily recommend "Light in August" by him, a fantastic read.
As far as things in a fantasy vien, I didn't see anyone mention Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth Series, while it has slacked in the last two books, the first four or so are fantastic; great characters and good twists.
In the non-fiction arena, I'd recommend "Naked Economics" by Charles Wheelan, a layman's guide to economics without math and that is constanly funny, I laughed out loud too many times to count. And also "The Metaphysical Club", its not light reading by any means and i'm only halfway through but it's a great look at some of the defining thinkers of the civil war and post civil war era.
And my random book of the night Job by Stephen Heilein, too funny for words.
