These are the first ten that come to mind in this moment (some because I remembered how much I loved them when others listed them):
Cannery Row - John Steinbeck (also Sweet Thursday)
Walden - Henry David Thoreau
The Count of Monte Cristo - Alexandre Dumas (just read for first time and loved it)
All Jeeves and Wooster books by Wodehouse which I've read multiple times
The Killer Angels - Michael Shaara
The Stand - Stephen King
Farewell, My Lovely - Raymond Chandler
Flowers For Algernon - Daniel Keyes
Zorro - Isabel Allende (actually, pretty much any book featuring Zorro)
Mila 18 - Leon Uris
Oh dear, and then there are Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch mysteries and James Lee Burke's Dave Robicheaux books (most of them).
Edit: The French Lieutenant's Woman by John Fowles can probably replace the Chandler. Or Dumas. An endless loop can ensue. (Then there is Tortilla Flat by Steinbeck...and The Grapes of Wrath)
