Recently recommended to a friend:
A Christmas Carol
Three Men in a Boat
The Hound of the Baskervilles
If she read science fiction and fantasy, I would probably have added Dracula and The Time Machine to the list. Or something by Jules Verne. Or maybe Frankenstein.
Mark Twain is a good candidate, too. And if you aren't too "grown-up", the Wonderland books by Lewis Carroll or A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett.
