Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz. I haven't read the sequels. I heard they're not nearly as good. The first book, though, is amazing.
Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood comes in second.
The Dark Tower Series by Stephen King is superior to anything else I have ever read.

Is TV Guide a book?
No really, aside from the Harry Potter series, one of my favourite reads is Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks. It is about a soldier named Stephen Wraysford, and his experiences during the First World War, which also flashes forward to the present day, folowing his great-granddaughter researching her family tree, and discovering the tragic story, and what links the past and present.
I haven't read it for a while, and yet I was still able to remember all that. It must have had a profound effect on me.
I also love Susan Townsend's Adrian Mole series, and Number Ten, where the (fictional) Prime Minister decides to go undercover for a week, dressing up in his wife's clothes, in order to discover what the people of Britain really think and feel, along with the policeman who minds his door. It's really funny, and quite shocking in places.

The Catcher in the Rye
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe
I obviously forgot the later on my list.Originally Posted by Omni Legacy
I...have so many favourite books! So many! Well.
The Watch series are very good, though i've only read Night and Day, i'm eagerly awaiting Twilight.
Terry Pratchetts Discworld books are also among my favourites, especially Night Watch (no connection to above Night Watch) and Thud!, them being among the more poignant books for me at times.
Leon Uris' Trinity and Redemption are also masterpieces.
Bernard Cornwell is well worth reading if you are of a historical disposition like myself.
Walter Macken has some great, touching books, any work of his is my instant favourite.
Everyone here should have read J.R.R. Tolkeins Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, so I do not need to explain it.
The last words of Oscar Wilde, to the wallpaper in his room - "One of us has to go"
I really love a quartet by Ian Irvine, called The Well of Echoes. I'm at the end of the fourth one and the 1st book of the trilogy set after it is out now, so I'll be reading that soon.
I also LOVE the Resident Evil books by S.D Perry and a book called Nobody True by James Herbert

I don't like books. Movies or games are better.

The Harry potter books are all real good.
I love all the books that Mario Puzo wrote but the best by far is the Godfather
I have also been wanting to check out the Bourne Series of books
Bourne Identity
Bourne Supremacy
Bourne Ultimatum
The Contender was also a pretty good book that we read in school a few years ago
A Song of Ice and Fire is an absolute masterpiece. Every last one of them is incredibly engaging and all around fantastic. Although the series is sorely lacking in the battle action that is expected of most fantasy, I find the suspense at the end of almost every chapter to be enough to keep my eyes glued to the pages for hours on end.
The only problem is the George R. R. Martin is absolutely terrible about deadlines. Seriously, A Feast For Crows took him five years to write, and he's already a year behind schedule for A Dance with Dragons. Despite that, the series is definitely my favorite.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K Rowling is amazing.
I also like The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold. That is perhaps the only book I have ever cried over.
My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult is really good too
