I personally like the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan (lengthy and a skosh dry at times, but very well-written and good), the Enchanted Forest Chronicles series by Patricia C Werde, The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy series by Douglas Adams, Incarnations of Immortality series by Piers Anthony, and the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett.

the chronicles of narnia were good .. (to bad i lost the first book beforei could read it ...
)
Lord of the rings is good, my favorite in the series was the first book of the two towers.
1984 was a great book, i just got very mad at the end.
Animal farm as well, even though i haven't read it, but i saw the movie and it's supposed to be word for word with the book.
the paradox of god and the science of omniscience is good too, but i'm not done reading it ... still trying to figure out all this shit with omniscience and chance games and how it's not supposed to work.
"Death of a salesman" and "wating for godot" were good, yes i read the screen plays. I thought McBeth was good too.
I also liked Catcher in the Rye.

Cyrano de Bergerac, Edmond Rostand (yes, technically it's a play)
Hamlet, Wm. Shakespeare (also a play, obviously)
Phantom, Susan Kay (this is a hugely, hugely melodramatic remake of The Phantom of the Opera - this is where my girly angst-magnet side comes in)
The Dark Tower series
The Lord of the Rings
Collected works of Dorothy Parker
Collected short stories of Ray Bradbury, who I'd have to say is just about my favorite author
[nonfiction] Hamlet on the Holodeck, Janet H. Murray (not about Hamlet, it's actually about technology and storytelling - virtual reality, writing stories that you "explore" in different directions rather than just going in a straight line, stories that people change as they go through them, and so on)
[nonfiction] Awakening the Heroes Within, Carol S. Pearson (a pop-psych book, yes. It centers on archetypes, ex. the warrior, the sage, the inner child, etc. At first it seems extremely cheesy, and then it seems cheesy and inspiring in some weird way...'least it did to me.

Texas and Alaska were good books. But Michener has a habit of writing books that are way too freaking big.
