In no particular order:

Catch-22, Joseph Heller
Lord of the Rings, Tolkien
The Alchemist, Paulo Cuehlo
2001: A Space Oddysey, Arthur C. Clarke
The Things They Carried, Tim O'Brien
A Farewell to Arms, Hemingway
One Hundred Years of Solitude, Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Tom Sawyer
Run With the Horsemen, Ferrol Sams

My current "status" message (But outside it kept raining) is actually a line from A Farewell to Arms. The line comes at a crucial junction in the book, and given what the rain has come to symbolize and the events that precede the line, it sends a shiver up my spine everytime I read it. Such a simple line, and yet such beauty.
