"Angela's Ashes" by Frank McCourt... McCourt does an amazing job of painting a very emotional picture of his childhood in Ireland. I alternately laughed and cried through the whole book.
"Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card... "Ender's Game" is the first book in the awesome Ender series about gifted children who are being trained to fight against a hostile alien race. It's a engaging read that really makes you think.
"Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World" by Bill Clinton... This book really motivates you to go out and make a difference in the world any way you can. Very uplifting and inspiring.
"God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything" by Christopher Hitchens... A very intelligent book that bravely challenges the idea of religion. Very thought-provoking.

M$I remember reading the book for the first time in grade school, and the story has stuck with me ever since. I still find myself occasionally picking up a copy & reading it again just for old time sake.
The book was also followed by several continuations, including:
Brian's Winter
http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/images/n10/n53459.jpg
A version of the Hatchet story, assuming the boy wasn't rescued & had to survive the winter in the woods.
The River
http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/images/n16/n80992.jpg
Because of his success surviving alone in the wilderness for fifty-four days, fifteen-year-old Brian, profoundly changed by his time in the wild, is asked to undergo a similar experience to help scientists learn more about the psychology of survival.
Brian's Return
http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/images/n19/n95896.jpg
After having survived alone in the wilderness, Brian finds that he can no longer live in the city but must return to the place where he really belongs.
The books collectively tell an amazing, but simple, story of a boy & learning to survive all the challenges that face him.

M$The one book I continue to read through the years, however, is ''Love in the Time of Cholera'' by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I first read this in college at the recommendation of a professor (who reads stuff that isn't assigned in college?! Me apparently) and I was head over heels immediately. Oddly enough, I have not seen the film adaptation - I really just want these characters and this beautifully tragic story to stay entirely in my own head.

M$And still, I have found only one series that lacks only one thing: more pages.
The Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon (starting with "Outlander") is the best series I have ever read, and surpasses even the best classics for including all necessities. Adventure, romance, characters you idolize, even tragedy to balance the comedy.
None can surpass it. And lucky for you, there are six large books to get through before you get to the end, and then a seventh will be appearing sometime in the fall.
