The Handmaids Tale by Margaret Atwood. Read it years ago, swore i'd never read it again cos it was so intense. It's now been made into a 10 part series on SBS on demand. Re read it and watched the series...loved it. Anything by Rosalie Ham (The Dressmaker) the book is way better than the movie though a lot darker. Joanne Harris is good (Chocolat) there are a further two books in that series just as good as the first. Currently reading The Walworth Beauty by Michele Roberts which is set in 2 time eras in London. My go to book for all time is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. i just love the way she pokes fun at the aristocracy. My list could go on. if you're into Sci fantasy Games of Thrones is not bad though i got really bored by about half way through book 5...i think every time he couldn't think what to do with a character he knocked them off though my favourite, Arya, is still alive.
