Stuff I've read this year that I'd recommend:
Dante's Inferno
Michel de Montaigne's Essays (even though it's not really fiction, it's definitely very interesting)
Shakespeare's King Lear
Cervantes' Don Quixote (very long, but really interesting)
Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment (haven't finished this yet but it's awesome. goes by quickly too, hard to put down)

Others I'd recommend:
Orwell's 1984
Salinger's Catcher in the Rye
Conrad's Heart of Darkness (short but very, very dense reading)
Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Trilogy (all five of them)
Asimov's Foundation Trilogy (there's a fourth one but in my mind that never happened)
Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game

Dude in Enchantment the main character wasn't as badass as Ender, and Ender was a kid too.

THE FOUNTAINHEAD by Ayn Rand

EAST OF EDEN by I forget who and I don't want to go look cuz I'm lazy.

That confessions of a shopoholic book pissed me off. how can you NOT pay your bills and just BUY stuff without thinking? SPend money to make money, only in investments -_-; whatever.

uhm...

WHITE OLEANDER by Janet Fitch was alright. I think they made it into a movie? it's a chick flick/book. some nice passages though.

ANGELS AND DEMONS by Dan Brown. The Da Vinci Code, I found, is overrated. Angels and Demons is much better I think. It's like a huge puzzle, and it's amazing how everything started to fall in place as the story progressed.

I don't remember the others I've read.

Oh, I'm reading LIARS POKER by Michael Lewis. It's actually pretty good if you're into buying and sellling in the economy. Lewis tells his story and it seems so fictional, very sarcastic and funny.
