    Some have mentioned a few of my favorites already:

    Wicked
    and
    His Dark Materials

    Also:

    The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho
    The Wild Road - Gabriel King
    Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card
    Stiff: The Secret Lives of Cadavers - Mary Roach (Nonfiction)
    Ginny, The Dog Who Rescues Cats - Philip Gonzalez (Nonfiction)

    Children's Books:
    To Nowhere and Back - Margaret J. Anderson (1975 out of print)
    The Little Chalkman - Vaclav Ctvrtek (1970 probably out of print)

    If we are talking childrens books that list would be so long for me. One that I really like is "The True Story of the 3 Pigs" The wolf really was framed.

    I just finished reading 'The Book of Negroes' by Lawrence Hill and I quite liked it...it follows a young woman's journey through life from when she was abducted in West Africa then sold into slavery in the U.S. then through to her travel to Canada as a Black Loyalist and back to Sierra Leone...the book ends with her in London, UK.
    I enjoy historical fiction when it is done well..and this is pretty good. It is one of the books on the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) Canada Reads competition...and a best seller.

    Already some of my favs have been names (To Kill A Mockingbird, Lord of the Rings trilogy, Memoirs of a Geisha).

    Other favs: anything by Alice Hoffman (wrote Practical Magic, which many know, but others are great too!), I just recently got into Jodi Picoult too -- Vanishing Acts was good! Also, Ursula LeGuin's Earthsea series, Douglas Adams.. and many more fiction as well as some non-fiction.
