Tick Bite Fever - David Bennun
One of my favourite books, its amazing its an autobiography but not by some poncy celebrity. Its about this guy growing up in Africa and some parts of it are upsetting but some parts are hilarious.
Its definatly my top recommended book for anyone, and I've read a lot of books, this I once read three times in a row because I just couldn't get enough of it.
Also:
Good Omens - Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaymon.
Brilliant take on the story of the antichrist, very funny yet intriguing. What more can you expect from two genius authors!
Anyway, hope I helped!

'Don Quixote' - the first novel (arguably) and also (arguably) the best: but it's not a 'quick read'.
To suggest 'The Catcher in the Rye' (as mentioned by other answerers) and 'To Kill a Mockingbird' may be clichéd, but a cliché doesn't become a cliché without more than a grain of truth in the first place.
My conversation, and life, wouldn't be the same if I hadn't read - in no particular order - 'Treasure Island', 'Gulliver's Travels', 'Black Beauty', 'Vanity Fair', 'Lolita', 'The Big Sleep', 'The Gulag Archipelago' and 'American Psycho' ... to name but a few.
Having said that, I'm going away next week and have the latest books by Karin Slaughter and Jeffrey Deaver packed ...

These are my top 5:
Pride and Prejudice
Jane Eyre
Wide Sargasso Sea
The Picture of Dorian Gray
As I Lay Dying
However, since you're a guy, I doubt you'd be interested in the first three (though I would recommend them- just because you're a guy doesn't mean you might not enjoy them!), so here are some other suggestions:
The Great Gatsby
Dracula
Frankenstein
Fight Club
Slaughterhouse Five
Happy reading!

The Translasaga.
I read it way back when, so I hardly remember anything about it or even who wrote it. I just remember that I really loved that book.
Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.
Ender's Shadow by Orson Scott Card was a really good one too. But if you read that, I suggest you start with Ender's Game first.
The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling are still some of my favorite books. I love reading them and just seeing not only the characters progress, but how she as a novelist progresses as well.
I also really enjoyed The Husband by Dean Koontz.
