Ok, here are some of my suggestions:
"Stranger in a Strange Land" by Robert A. Heinlein. Get the later edition that included nearly 1/3 more that was published after the authors passing.
"Enders Game" - by Orson Scott Card. The first book and arguably the best.
"Hannibal" by Thomas Harris - Tells you how Hannibal The Cannibal from Silence of the Lambs became who he was.
Terry Pratchett - Disk-world Novels. Check out "Soul Music" or "Thief of Time". It's humor on the surface but pokes gentle fun at society.
"The Aire Affair" by Jasper Fford. Set in an alternate universe it entertains, but when finished you are tempted to go read Jane Austin, Shakespeare, and other classic authors to learn more about the stories touched upon in this book.
"The Rabbit Factory" by Marshall Karp. A surprisingly good murder mystery when a character in a LA amusement park is killed.
"Stephanie Plumb Novels" by Janet Evanovitch - Lightweight but entertaining series of books about a New Jersey women who loosing her job faces a choice: employment working the box machine at the sanitary products factory, or working for her sleaze-ball cousin who runs a Bail Bonds office by becoming a bounty hunter. Soon to be a movie staring Kathleen Hegel.
"Relic (Pendergast, Book 1) " By Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child : First in a series of books featuring a strange FBI agent. Many books by Preston and Child are well written and entertaining.
