I have ::always:: loved Pride and Prejudice - that will always win my vote!
I did just finish a (new to me) book that I ::loved:: called: Juliet by Anne Fortier (it's a historical fiction that ties back with the original Romeo and Juliet - and supposedly the characters that inspired Shakesphere - it goes back and forth from the year of 1340 to present day and it all tied together, had a bit a of mystery, romance and Indiana Jones feeling to it. Great fun!)

I'm gonna put out two suggestions for non-fiction, and they're both GREAT reads.
Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. He is a great storyteller, and I find it totally fascinating to learn about what causes success. Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea The author does an amazing job of telling the stories of these North Korean refugees and weaving Korean history through the stories.

I'm seconding Still, Alice, and adding One Day by David Nicholls, as I'm currently reading it. :-) Both for women fiction, I think.
And Games of Thrones is an interesting suggestion, too, I wonder why I've never read it.
