This is a tough question.

1.What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty. If you want to see how a small bad decision can spark a big change in a person's life I highly recommend this one.
2. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Simply because this book started it all.
3. Persuasion by Jane Austen. Basically, all books by Jane Austen. I just love her.
4. The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory. This book started my obsession with the War of the Roses and Tudor Court novels.
5.ABNKKBSNPlako?(Wow! I can read now!) by Bob Ong. This one is an autobiography of my favorite Filipino author. I enjoy reading this just because this summarizes all the craziness that a typical Filipino kid experienced while in school.
