Good Omens
If you like the Douglas Adams type of humor, then I recommend reading a book by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett called Good Omens. Probably the funniest book I have read. As far as science fiction, Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card is a very good read.

I loved Demon Haunted World, good recommendation. I also really liked Wendy Kaminer’s "Sleeping With Extra-Terrestrials : The Rise of Irrationalism and Perils of Piety", it was a fun read, I had a hard time putting it down.
