Well, I second Dostoyevsky, and would start with the Brothers Karamasov (my favorite band of brothers). On the other hand, if you want a quick read from old Dosto, check out Letters from the Underground, a foundational novel.

Other suggestions would be Metamorphosis (Kafka), haikus from Basho and Issa, The Meditations (Marcus Aurelius), On the Road (Kerouac), Foucault's Pendulum (Eco), One Hundred Years of Solitude (Garcia Márquez), At the Mountains of Madness (Lovecraft), Princes of Amber (Zelazny), etc...
