Wow, I think everyone here has pretty much nailed everything.
Though I will add: 1. Edgar Allen Poe, his works are on the dark side but excellent 2. The Odyssey by Homer, has always been a favorite of mine (make sure you get one with english translations) 3. Any folklore you can get your hands on no matter the country it originated with. These are usually some of the best stories you could read. 4. Check online with Barnes & Noble or Borders bookstores and see what's on the bestseller lists and then read reviews from other people who have read the book; that how I've read most of my books.
