These are the pick of the litter from my five star Goodreads list since I froze when trying to come up with them off the top of my head. I had the same struggle with - am I looking for "important", "artistically written" or "really enjoyable". Basically I settled on the five star list as the ones that I would normally enthuse about and recommend to others.
Lolita - Vladimir Nabokov
Hitchhikers' Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams
Watership Down - Richard Adams
The Quincunx - Charles Palliser
Hey Nostradamus - Douglas Coupland
Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers - Mary Roach
The Great Santini - Pat Conroy
Whale Music - Paul Quarrington
The Stand - Stephen King
A Short History of Nearly Everything - Bill Bryson
