Damn, I'd have to go take pics of my library 
In the last few days, I've read:
Two Dollar Bill, by Stuart Woods - I like his books. The style is deceptively simple, but has hidden depth. Fast reads.
Innocent, by Harlan Coben - Awesome, maybe his best yet.
Hammerjack, by Marc D. Giller - great SF book set in the near future. In the style of William Gibson's Neuromancer, etc.
Mission Road, by Rick Riordan - One of his Tres Navarre books, about a PI in Texas. I like this series, and am half-way thru this one. Good so far!

One of the best books I've read recently is a bit of historical fiction called "The Pillars of the Earth" by Ken Follett. The summary always makes it sound boring, but the book is truly incredible.
Anyway, i'm currently reading 'The Traveler' by John Twelve Hawks. So far i'm really enjoying it! I'd recommend picking it up if you like fast action-packed fictional novels. You wont be any smarter when you're done with it, but it's fun none the less.
But dont take my word for it. Do doo doo!

Ender's Game is one of the BEST books I've ever read in my life. Period. I've read it about four times now I think. By Orson Scott Card. The rest of the series is also very interesting.
A Good book the ol' lady thought was geared towards women was Chore Whore. A fictional novel about a Celebrity Personal Assisstant.
A new book that I just ordered for an easy read-through is Sniper hopefully it'll be good.
The list above my post seem to be good reads as well.

Can't believe no one has recommended these yet:
"Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand - second most influential book in virtually every poll ever done. (First is always listed as the Bible - for those who are into that).
"Fountainhead" by Ayn Rand.
I'd read "Fountainhead" first and "Atlas Shrugged" second. You're biting off a chunk here. You're talking about 2,000 pages between the two books. Worth it though - there is no way I'd be making the amount of money I am or living the type of life I am without reading these books. Sounds crazy, but I'm not the first to have that opinion.
