Totoro wroteJust finished the Silmarillion, very confusing book if you're not looking at the map the whole time and even taking notes seems necessary.
Finished this recently and found it quite interesting, not the story itself bit how it explains the entire universe created by Tolkien, truly genius.
Now reading The power of habit by Charles Duhigg, extremely interesting and informative a must read for my fellow procrastinators or anyone interested in improving their way of life.
A Dance with Dragons, fifth book of A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones on TV). I must say, I've been lazy the past two months and read about 20% of it only, while it took me a single month to read the fourth book.
Borrowed "The Count of Monte Cristo" from my university's library. Don't have any classes until next Wednesday so I'm probably gonna have time to read it.

If you want something hard to read but extremely interesting, try Fyodor Dostoyevsky: The Brothers Karamazov or Crime and Punishment.
If you want something in French: La Vie Devant Soi by Roman Gary.
If you want something interesting but fiction, I would go for some Dan Brown books like: Digital Fortress or Inferno.

Have a good read and let us know what you're going to choose! :)
if you want something that is not a Novel,
try the improbability principle by David Hand, or the emperor's new mind by Roger Penrose.
PS: like anything in life, books come in a huge variety of topics and genre, if you specify your preference to what type of books you like to read, maybe we could help you more..
Thanks for suggestions.
@A.L Indeed, but you know some books, i assumed, just like a song, are unforgettable, that's what i was seeking, novels are ok.
Ironically, exams are on the doors, so i won't have any free time soon, i took notes of the suggestions though. thanks again.
If you guys like fantasy, magic and a lot of wisdom, you should read the Eragon books... can't get enough of those things...
its a total of 4 books, the movie was a complete failure.
the writing style is too rich and yummy to let go...

I second this--the books are called the inheritance cycle. Very good read.
