Non-fiction: Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas R. Hofstadter. If you haven't read it, it's still an intensely readable, fascinating book about the limits of logic.
Fiction: The Sandman collection by Neil Gaiman. Don't be put off that it's a comic: Neil Gaiman creates a full, deep mythology based on many different sources. His stories range from the macabre to the poignant.
