I have to admit I'm not the keenest reader of fiction, but one book that caught my interest after a friend recommended it was 'The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle' by Haruki Murakami. It created a very surreal and intruigingly strange atmosphere, which is the type of thing I like.

I won't say anything...  The best piece of literature on the planet is this:  If you live your life without reading these books you've wasted it.

Objectivism is flawed, and full of elitist fags, I thought you'd love it.

Hitchhikers guide and Enders game are top notch.
For some modern, drug addled, some what sexually charged noir pick up the Phineus Poe series by Will Baer. The first and third book are the best the second is just bridge work but good none the less. Some of the most intriguing and finest writing I've seen and very mych inspiring my own work.

If you're looking for classic, try The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri.
