Dave Pelzer - A child called it (depressing but worth reading). Also I'm assuming you have read Dune (Frank Herbert) if not BUY IT NOW!
The other book I've ordered but looks more arduous (should be here tomorrow) is the one recommended on xkcd, The Road to Reality (Roger Penrose).
There is also an argument for reading books that are referred to a lot (Brave New World - Aldous Huxley and 1984 by Orwell are easy and short reads) but the one that I insist you read (it is actually my favourite book of all time) is Catch 22 by Joseph Heller.
But come back with the genre you like, or what you want to get out of your reading (mind-expanding? fun?) and I can give you more suggestions.
Anyway, have fun!

George Orwell - 1984, Animal Farm
Michel Foucault - Discipline & Punish
Antonio Gramsci - Selections from the Prison Notebooks
Max Stirner - The Ego and His Own
John Steinbeck - Grapes of Wrath, The Pearl, Of Mice and Men, Cannery Row
Andrew Blauner, ed. - Brothers: 26 Stories of Love and Rivalry
Roland Barthes - A Lover's Discourse
Stephanie Coontz - Marriage, a History
Jorge Luis Borges - A Personal Anthology
John Gardner - Grendel
Jane Austen - Pride and Prejudice
Dante Aligheri - Vita Nuova (Mark Musa's translation)
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - The Sorrows of Young Werther
Julian Barnes - A History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters
If you get (through) any of these, me and let's chat. It's my current bedside reading material.
If you get through Foucault, Gramsci, and Stirner, and the question of identity tickles your fancy, absorb Divine Right and Democracy (Wootton, ed.) alongside The Shakespeare Wars by Ron Rosenbaum. Also, Harold Bloom's Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human.
If you want something small that'll blow your mind and fit in your back pocket, Epectitus's A Manual for Living [aka "Little Book of Wisdom" or "Enchiridion"]. I have the unadulterated PDF I can share, as it is free copyright.

Jonathan Strange And Mr. Norrell!!!
I loved this book when I read it. It's long though and not for everyone. If you like 19th century writing styles, then you'll like this. It's a fantasy.
