Wanted: Non-genre book recs!

I've realized lately that I've spent years confining myself too closely to SF/Fantasy when it comes to reading material, and I want to do some branching out, especially now that I've started writing myself. So, flist, I ask you to recommend some books outside of the SF/Fantasy genre that you love. Old or new, fiction or nonfiction, highbrow or low, as long as it's a good read. :)

My current reading list:

- French Provincial Cooking (I love reading cookbooks!)
- Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
- Lolita
- On the Road (reread since it's been years)
- The Secret Life of Salvador Dali
- P.G. Wodehouse's Jeeves and Wooster stories
