"The Eye of the World" by Robert Jordan - fantasy - first book in "The Wheel of Time" series....kings, queens, monsters etc....if you read the first one you will more than likely read the others.

I have 2 copies.. one i read at work and one I lend out. It never gets old... you can read some of the stories on Tuckermax.com They are making a movie about it soon... its a guys real life stories that are just crazy.. everything from dumping a bottle of lube in a girls ass and having her shit all over him to almost getting killed in a redneck bar in Texas... check it out :)

Aside from that I have really enjoyed Dan Brown's Books Angels and Demons, Da Vinci Code, Digital Fortress, and Deception Point.
