I, Robot by Isaac Asimov. Very different from the movie, in a good way.

I'll think of more later.

The Secret Life of Bee's (the author escapes me)
Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin
American Gods by Neil Gaiman

-Anything by P.G. Wodehouse is good
-Revenge by Stephen Fry
-Gun Seller by Hugh Laurie
-Woman at Point Zero by Nawal El Saadawi is depressing, but great if you can find a copy.
-Zayni Barakat by Gamal Al-Ghitani (sp?)
-Persepolis 1 & 2 by Marjane Satrapi...these are graphic novels, but they're really remarkable. They're about a young woman growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution and the effect of that on her and it's just really amazingly done.
-Also, this really long book that my Arabic teacher recommended called Infinite Jest by...David Foster Wallace I think. It's quite think though, so I'm still trying to plow through it, but really clever and funny and well-written

And another thing, The Bell Jar may be well-written, and I love Sylvia Plath's poetry, but I hated the book. It made me want to slit my own wrists.
