The Brothers Karamazov (Dostoevsky).

I highly recommend Peter van der Linden's Expert C Programming

read A Random Walk Down Wall Street (Burton Malkiel), as suggested by several others in this thread.

read The Coffeehouse Investor (Bill Schultheis). It shouldn't take more than an hour or two to go through, and it contains all the basics.

Disgrace (Coetzee).

King Lear (Shakespeare).

Тихий Дон (Sholohov's name is on the cover; there are several translations under various titles as Quiet Don or something like that).
