Given recent events I will recommend the Wheel of Time series.

"Brave New World"? Aldous Huxley.

Fantasy-wise, you could try a book from Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series (one of the first two! or else you'll be there doing the whole 11 books rigmarole

), Robin Hobb's Farseer Trilogy (which would be great to write about), Terry Goodkind's "Wizard's First Rule", which is fat, but brilliant.

OR you could do a good old Terry Pratchett

"Mort" is one I'd recommend

Mists of Avalon and Firebrand by Marion Zimmer Bradley.
Artefact of Power (4 books) series by Maggie Furey
Nightrunner series (3 books to date) and Tamir Trilogy (3 books) by Lynn Flewelling
Hitchhikker's Guide to the Galaxy (4 or 5 books, depends if you read Mostly Harmless or not) by Douglas Adams

SMURF YES.

Though, unless you finish SLATFATF and find you need another hit of Adams, don't read Mostly Harmless. To me at least, it just seemed tacked-on.

Seems a bit of a shame to leave War of the Worlds (H.G. Wells) out. I'd also like to throw in the Earthsea books by Ursula Le Guin (I think there's five or six actual novels).

I'd suggest A Game of Thrones by george r. r. martin but it's kinda weighty.

I second wheel of time, best books ever written.

A Game of Thrones is awesome but like rubah said, it's kinda sketchy some times... Still incredibly good, and much faster paced than Wheel of Time has become (first 6 wheel of time books were incredible, and the rest are a little too slow, still awesome though).
