If you like humor, I'd recommend almost anything by Christopher Moore.
Dirty Job is about a man who suddenly finds himself doing the job of the Grim Reaper.
Fool is a re-telling of Shakespeare's King Lear, told from the point of view of the king's fool, but in modern language. Beware! Lot's of swearwords in this one and a few raunchy scenes. You don't have to have read Shakespeare's original...I read this one first, and it helped me understand what was going on when I read the original afterwards.
Lamb; The Gospel According To Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal It's nowhere near as blasphemous or irreverent as it sounds. It's funny, sweet, touching...and sad in the right parts. He doesn't change any of the things we know from Bible stories...Christopher Moore is suggesting what might have happened in the "missing years" not mentioned in the Bible.
If you don't mind dealing with humorous footnotes every so often I'd also suggest any of the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett. Each novel stands alone, so you don't have to worry about getting lost if you pick up something from the middle of the series. Instead, each story expands on a character or situation mentioned in one of the other books. The concept of the Discworld is sort of a satire on academia, politics, police work, popular culture, and just about everything.
These books are mostly classified as fantasy, since they contain witches, dragons, vampires, dwarves, trolls and werewolves (some of whom serve as officers in the City Watch). The sci-fi fans should watch out for Hex, a storage and information system for wizard's spells (a giant computer, complete with "Anthill Inside") and the Clacks Towers and it's army of coders (clearly...the Internet).

Comrade Nicholas Oh God. I have a love affair with my library. Here is a list of books, that in my humble opinion should be read by every capable human being! 1. The Mysterious Stranger by Mark Twain (It's a novella, a bit short but still more amazing than 99% of whats in your library.) 2. The Time Machine by H.G. Wells 3. 1984 by George Orwell 4. The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton 5. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury Oh and heres my other favorites.. 1. Dracula by Bram Stoker 2. The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux 3. Interview with a Vampire by Anne Rice It, The Stand, Pet Sematary, Salem's Lot, Carrie, The Shining all by Stephen King. Oh and if you're interested in the universe, a fun read is always A Brief History of Time by Stephen W. Hawking
