Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse
Raymond Chandler's novels
Conan Doyle's Complete Sherlock Holmes which I've read and re-read for my whole life .... same with the two above choices.
I'm almost finished with Don Quixote now. At the part where Sancho has become governor of the island.
Mark Twain, Jack London, M R James and HP Lovecraft... Agatha Christie spins a good yarn. Nothing terribly intellectual or with a political ax to grind.Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

My favourites:
Count of Monte Cristo- Alexander Dumas
Any book written by Stephen King, However I would heavily recommend my Top 10 by him which would be the 7 book Dark Tower Series- Vastly superior to any other huge series imho and puts dumb books like Harry Potter and that of whom will not be named ( well i guess i have to now.....) Twilight series in their graves were they belong, Firestarter which was the first Stephen King book i ever read so it warrants a lifelong position in my favorites and finally The Stand: Complete and Uncut edition.
