As I'm sure you know, I really like to read, so I'm going to make a list of books that I fully expect you to go out and get.
And read.
And love.
Best book of all time:
Macbeth by William Shakespeare.
Truly beautiful language, and a fascinating story. I've read it WAY to many times. (I think I'm addicted. XD)
2nd best:
Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare.
See a theme? More beautiful language, but I don't like the story *quite* as much.
3rd best:
Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling
I really hope you've read this one all ready...
4th:
The Giver, Gathering Blue, and Messenger, by Lewis Lowry.
Very thought provoking. Possibly a glimpse of the future.
5th:
Lord of the Flies by William Golding.
Also quite thought provoking, but not for the weak stomached.
6th:
Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse
Amazingly funny.
honorable mentions:
Twilight by Stephine Myers.
A sweet vampire love story. :)

What about Huckleberry Finn, The Sun Also Rises, The Accidental Tourist, and anything by Barbara Kingsolver? And Elizabeth Peter's Amelia Peabody series? They may not be great literature, but they sure are fun to read.
You probably would like opera plots, what with your admiration for Macbeth.
We love watching the video series made about Jeeves - "Jeeves and Wooster" - but we haven't read the books yet.
What's this "Harry Potter" of which you speak? I'm pretty sure I might have heard about her once or twice.

You NEED to read some of the books, they're the best ever.
Yeah, a few people know about Harry (what with all that fuss with you-know-who and such) although it's not QUITE as good as winning witch weekly's most charming smile award five times in a row.
Ooh, ooh, and To Kill a Mockingbird. I'm so proud that there is nothing by Faulkner on your list.
