Well…. everything depends of what kind of books do you like. If you like self help New Earth is a good option. There’s a couple of books really good that I can recommend you but first I would like to know what was the last book that you read that you loved it.
One of my favorites books is SPUTNIK, SWEETHEART by Haruki Murakami.

In short stories the master is Julio Cortázar. Is kind of difficult to find Cortázar in English… but it worth.. believe me is probably one of the best writers ever.
Crime in Punishment by Fedor Dostoevsky
The Stranger by Albert Camus
Breakfast in Tiffany´s by Truman Capote
