One of the best novels I've read so far is The House of the Spirits, the first novel by Chilean writer Isabel Allende, classified as magical realism, the novel incorporates unlikely and strange elements into the ordinary. The story tells the life of the Trueba family over four generations from the beginning of the 20th century to the 1970s and follows the social and political movements of the post-viceregal period in Chile.

Lord of the rings should be on there. The sheer scale of Tolkien's imagination is mind blowing. Others have said Atlas shrugged but I'll say it again, particularly relevant today

Does it matter if you know that you will die soon? That book will not change with anything. Anyways the death is just another cycle.
