Yes, some of these books are young adult books, but if you weren’t forced to read them in school, you should read them now. I’ll add to the list periodically, and figure out a way to mark new additions to the list. These are in no particular order, I am just trying to pluck all the good books I’ve read out of my memory (which fails me quite often).
Fiction
The Count of Monte Cristo By Alexandre Dumas
The Winter of Our Discontent By John Steinbeck
The Chronicles of Narnia By C. S. Lewis
Kushiel’s Legacy Series By Jacqueline Carey (the first book is Kushiel’s Dart)
The Vampire Chronicles By Anne Rice (includes the famous Interview with a Vampire, and Queen of the Damned)
The Hatchet By Gary Paulsen (The River and Brian’s Winter carry on the story)
The Worlds of Lois Lowry By Lois Lowry (Includes The Giver, Gathering Blue, and The Messenger)
The Crucible By Arthur Miller
Lord of the Flies By William Golding

The Twilight Saga By Stephanie Meyer (being made into movies, but I’m not sure I like that idea, maybe because I love the books so much and I have a certain picture in my head…)

Non-Fiction
Don’t Ask Stupid Questions: There Are No Stupid Questions By Tim Brownson
