The entire Discworld series by Terry Pratchett is simply brilliant.
Just read them in publication order, though feel free to jump around if the desire strikes you -
Ovid's Metamorphosis is an all-time favorite of mine. Some versions are figuratively biblical in length because it covers mythology but it's a fantastic read.

Books, there's a damn lot of them, so authors rather: Barker, Tolkien, Lukjanenko(ru), Martin, Gaiman, Rowling, Paolimi and stories about Nibelungs(no matter what author, though I like Germans). A lot of them have a rich storytelling, so it's nice. And way better than any movie/series based on those (even ASoIaF, yes).
And Wheel of Time! :3 -
FourtyTwo468yI have many favorite books but the one I read (at least partially) almost every year is The hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy by Douglas Adams...
I love that book! -
DotM8298yI have that book to read yet, is it good?
Also for sugestion/s, if you're into solving crimes an such (thanks GT for not helping) I'd recommend the Will Trent series by Karen Slaughter (appropriate name, really). Can't really tell you where to start cause I think that the english books follow a different order that the portuguese ones (translated, of course). Also "The Crucifix Killer" by Chris Carter.
As for science fiction I recommend "Limit", a 1100 pages book (again, in portguese, dunno about the english version) about a stroll in space gone wrong. Took me 6m to finish (but read half the book in 2w or so maybe) mostly because school got in the way.
And the first 3 Milleniums. Started reading the 4th but so far it's on hold because it doesn't have the same charm as the other 3.
