Cancer Ward by Solzhenitsyn
My first 'grown up' book and it took me 4 or 5 readings to get even half the allusions, demanding but truly insightful.
On one hand it is a description of cancer treatment in a horrible squalid hospital combined with the main protagonist allowing himself to care once more, on the other hand a description of the incurable damage done to Russia by Stalin.
Its not a happy book, its not an uplifting book, it is a book I never regret reading and go to time after time

I absolutely love Where The Heart Is by Billie Letts. It's really just a story about a girl who lives life to the fullest. Even after tragedy happens, she just keeps going. It's a good "slice of life" type book. It's an excellent book for when you're looking for some light reading, and is probably the one that I've read the most specifically for that reason.

Vacuum Diagrams by Stephen Baxter.
It puts into perspective what little we, as a species, have accomplished and how far we might go.

My favourite Sci fi novel is most definitely Excession by Iain M Banks.
The insights and 'colour' it gives to the Culture Minds is what makes it for me. I also find things like 'Outside Context Problems' intriguing.
The following is Banks' description of a OCP and gives a glimpse of why I love his writing style:
