It's always good to read some classics. "A Tale of Two Cities" is a fantastic book if you like Dickens, historical fiction, or just love reading for the sake of the words themselves as much as the story.
Coincidentally, "Great Expectations" by Dickens has just been turned open in front of me on my desk.

"Travels With Charlie" by John Steinbeck was just purchased by my Kindle, along with Tortilla Flat" and "Sweet Thursday." Those are next for hammock swinging under the poplars on a summer afternoon.

Finishing up some Sci-fi . . . . I've found Singularity Sky" by Charles Stross and "Use of Weapons" by Iain M. Banks to be pretty good. No particular reason for choosing them and they're older I believe, also easy to find on Kindle.
