I would echo Kaio in terms of not being much of a reader these days, but one of my resolutions this year was to try to read more. When I was younger, I was captivated by Dan Brown's DaVinci Code series. I think that would have topped my list then, and I'm planning on revisiting as an adult. I like the root in history, religion and mystery throughout the novels.

I would have to go with "100 Years of Solitude" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Ishmael by Daniel Quinn

It is a philosophical novel about a man who telepathically communicates with a Gorilla.  I highly recommend it and it is a quick read.

I'd say The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat by Oliver Sacks. It's fascinating and a bit surreal-it really deepened my curiosity about how the brain shapes our perception of reality.

It's really hard to choose only one! 

I think The Name of the Wind, by Patrick Rothfuss. Epic fantasy is always a great choice to turn off my mind for a few hours.
