I just had a lot of fun reading The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown (faded at the end, but it's a good beach read.)

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card (Previously mentioned) is a truly great book. If you have the slightest interest in Sci-Fi and haven't read this book you are really missing something special.

I loved the Foundation Trilogy by Aasimov.

In the line of 1984 by Orwell:

We by Yevgeny Zamyatin (A book that influenced Orwell and Huxley)

A Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

Stephen King:

- Dark Tower series is fun
- The Stand is definitive
- His novellas in Different Seasons are good (the one that they based the movie Shawshank Redemption on is in there)
- His short stories in Night Shift are fun, as well. I think they made several movies from those.
