I would recommend:
The HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy series,
Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman,
Christian Jacq books,
1066 and all that by Sellars and Yeatman,
the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett (although in North America they are very hard to come by, apparently, and are in inferior covers.)
A Black Hole In Neasden ( by David Sutherland).
