Terry Pratchett's Diskworld books

The Hitch-hikers Guide to the Galaxy

Three Men in a Boat

And just to completely lower the tone, for those who aren't big fans of Tolkien (I'm sorry, I know it's blasphemous, and I have every admiration for the man as basically inventing a whole genre, but really ... not a great storyteller. Although I love the Ents. And of course I adore Peter Jackson's movies.) ... Where was I? Oh yes. I don't recommend this for those who worship at the feet of Tolkien, but, as I say, for those who aren't fans, Harvard Lampoon's Bored of the Rings is fairly hilarious (and about a hundredth the size).
