With absolutely no concern for the attitude that I know many have about it, my choice has always been, is and is likely to reamain:
JONATHAN LIVINGSTON SEAGULL, by Richard Bach.

This might be a bit cliche, but Jane Eyre.
Also, Shakespeare's Othello; I've never actually seen it performed, but love reading it. Iago is one of the most powerful characters I have come across...I consider him the archetypal evil.
The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand
Beach Music by Pat Conroy
One the most beautiful and emotional books ever.
The Dictionary
If we're counting plays, Angels in America, hands down. If not, then Catcher in the Rye.

Somewhat cliche, but The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky.
And honorable mention goes to any Roald Dahl books. I've been obsessed ever since I was able to read. (The Witches? The BFG? Brilliant!)
Pinguin-- I've been meaning to read The Fountainhead for years and never got around to it. I really should.
AT SWIM, TWO BOYS by Jamie O'Neill.
Phebus: You need to...it really changed my life and BLEW MY MIND.

Here's the gist: you owe to the world to be TOTALLY selfish.
The Secret Life of Bees or The 5 People you Meet in Heaven. Changed my life!!!
The Bell Jar.
Two words I never thought I would see from an intelligent person in a thread with a subject theme of "Favorite Book Of All Time"...DEAN KOONTZ!
There are one or two other authors listed here that make me shake my head, but I'll just keep those opinions to myself.
