Any Milan Kundera (Unbearable Lightness of Being and Farewell Waltz the best), Confederacy of Dunces is probably the funniest book ever written, The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen, Heart of Darkness, Sometimes a Great Notion by Kesey, Pillars of the Earth by Follet, Cormac McCarthy's stuff is solid, I'm a big Hemingway fan as well.
Thats just off the top of my head, right now I'm reading The Yiddish Policeman's Union (which is an interesting Alternate History murder mystery novel if the state of Israel failed and a Jewish refugee camp had been established in Alaska) by Michael Chabon and a book called The People's Act of Love by James Meek which is a really good novel that takes place in the Russian/Czech border after the 2nd world war.
You go through a lot of reading when you ride public transportation to and from work every day.
