I enjoyed [B]The World Without Us[/B] by Max Brooks. It goes over a plethora of subjects on the earth while narrating what would happen if humanity all of a sudden ceased to exist. It's a really interesting read, I reccomend it to anyone who has a working brain.

Max Brooks had some brilliant zombie novels, World War Z and The Zombie Survival Guide.

This.

Wow, nobody has said Robert Heinlein yet? [I] Stranger in a Strange Land[/I] - Although a science fiction book written in the early sixties contains many technological errors, (This centers around aliens living on mars) this book really helped explain a great many phenomena in our culture that is rather prevalent today. The ending will blow your mind. This book rocks and I recommend it, but my personal favorite is Norton Juster's [I]The Phantom Tollbooth.[/I]

So many positive recommendations for so many different authors I've never heard of.

I know this is technically bumping, but I couldn't resist. I went a bit further into Stephen King's The Dark Tower Septology (?) (seven-book-series), and I've simply never read anything remotely like it. It's simply AMAZING what he did with the characters and how every single character somehow returns again and again and again and again, and then dies, and then returns again. A ton (Wolves of the Calla alone was 900 - and the one before it, I think, was longer) of pages. I was reading Song of Susannah up until 2 AM even though I was tired as hell because I couldn't put it down.

Goody. However, now I'm pissed that no one's responding. Respond, or I eat your babies.
