What books out there does a person need to read before they die or else they have really missed out?

All the Harry Potter Books
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
EVERY Forgotten Realms Book

The Forgotten Realms series kicks major a*s. Start with the person who started the Series, R.A. Salvatore, read all of his books with Forgotten Realms, the ones with Drizzt Do'Urden in them. God I love love love love love them.
