Prattchet: The Fifth Elefant
Westerfield: Leviathan (yeah a teenager book but actually really fast paced fun)
Strugatzki brothers: the 3 Maxim books ... really interesting scifi
Lem: The Star Diaries: hilariously fun, yet deeply philsophical, and thought provoking at
german only so far but for me the book of the last year:
Bernd Perplies - Magierdämmerung: Band 1: Für die Krone

Kay is an awesome writer. This is not his best work by any means. I have read every novel he has written. You should start with the Fionavar Tapestry. They all tie in, albeit tenuously.
Currently I am reading "Across the Face of the World" by Russell Kirkpatrick.
Re-reading the Harry Potter series. I'm currently on Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
And just ordered Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro to read after I finish HP. I watched the movie before reading the book (I usually try not to, but Andrew Garfield!), and I really wanted it to go into more detail, so I needed to buy it.

Wastelands: Stories of the Apocalypse. It's a collection of "end of the world" stories. Kind of a downer but still interesting.
Danielle Steel's Rocks!!
Am a big fan of danielle steel's novels, I am hooked with her mainstream drama novels. I used to ask a friend to lend me a book to read, or borrow from a library. Now I just download some of the novels online. Currently reading Lightning.

If you are "susceptible" to fantasy you can't go wrong with HP and you won't be disappointed. If you like the first book, they get better all the way to the end.
BTW, have you read The Hobbit/LOTR? If not, you should consider it but be sure to start with the Hobbit.I've got an M-Theory thread floating around here at MR and am considering digging up a good M-Theory book to read if one exists.
I can't remember which class it was. Anyway, one author is Shakespeare, yet one author is an American professor. But that's what is in the book but I don't know what class it was attached to other than a first year English class.
Anyway, it's such a great anthology it could be used for several different types of classes.
Currently reading The Fall of Hyperion, the second of four in the Hyperion Cantos. After that, I'll either read the wild cards 1 re-release, finish hitchhiker's guide series, or who knows what.
