Yes, the Illiad was a good read, and I'm not just saying that because I like Greek/Roman mythology. If you like the Illiad, check out the Odyssey too.
If you like African American short stories about race like I do, Langston Hughes (The Ways of White Folks) and Charles W. Chestnutt (The Wife of His Youth and Other Stories) are must-reads. They're two of my favorite authors/books.
Into African American plays? Then August Wilson is a must-read (Fences, The Piano Lesson, etc)
If you're into science fiction and utopian/dystopian fiction like me, then check out Jurassic Park, The Invisible Man, Watchmen (a graphic novel), Walden Two, 1984, etc.
Into modernist and philosophical fiction? Check out Franz Kafka (The Metamorphosis, A Hunger Artist, etc), Ernest Hemingway (For Whom the Bell Tolls), Albert Camus (The Stranger), etc.
