Only Forward - Michael Marshall Smith
Neal Stephenson - Snowcrash
Robert Rankin - The Brentford Trilogy
Oscar Wilde - The Picture of Dorian Gray
Fyodor Dostoevsky - A Raw Youth
I also read a lot of Biographies and History, not sure if you were just after fiction though.

I love them all and will do again. The greatest book is one you fall into and don't want to leave.
I'm a great advocate of Dan Brown for that. It may appear shallow and too descriptive but the success of his books is from people being unable to put them down. They're a fantastic break from Paradise Lost or whatever (another must-own - buy it with Regained).
I do love Donaldson, specifically the Thomas Covenant Chronicles, but I wouldn't say they're must owns on the level of the others. They're pretty fantastic for the avid sci-fantasy reader though IMO.
