If I didn't know Tolkien's works, I would probably say "the best story ever" ;) If you like this kind of stuff, you have to read it!
StrataStrata by Terry Pratchett
Buy new: £2.87 / Used from: £0.01
Known as the first novel to mention the Disc World. Very fresh, even though first published in 1981. I love all the DW novels and this one is like a pilot-novel, that's why I put this one on the list.
The Mistress of SpicesThe Mistress of Spices by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £0.01
Haven't read anything else by this author but definitely will.
MortMort by Terry Pratchett

One of my favourites as Death is one of the most amusing character in book history ;)
Angels and DemonsAngels and Demons by Dan Brown
Buy new: £3.99 / Used from: £0.01
I don't usually read thrillers, but that's the essence of the genre.
