I'm a big sucker for the Mitch Rapp series that Vince Flynn writes. I'd put any of those on a favorites list, but I'll limit myself to the very best one.
No particular order:
1. Consent to Kill by Vince Flynn (I still haven't forgiven Flynn for what he did in this book; I cried and raged the whole day)
2. The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien
3. To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee
4. Angels & Demons by Dan Brown
5. Candide by Voltaire
Deception Point is another excellent novel by Dan Brown, but I'm a sucker for his work, too. I'm a big fan of political thriller/mystery type novels (mainly all I read now), but all the others I've read wouldn't make the top of my list.

Very few novels stand out... I guess I'll toss some nonfiction I read in there.
1. Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card (and the whole series of connected books in both veins)
2. 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C Clarke.
3. 1984 by George Orwell
4. The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene (string theory)
...
Man, I really can't think of any others lol. There were a lot of *ok* books but nothing really stands out as a favorite.

2. Carrie by Stephen King
3. Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden
4. The Great Automatic Grammatizator by Roald Dahl
5. Fatherhood by Bill Cosby (... <_< My aunt gave me this to read years ago and I loved it, even though I'm not male.)
