A lot of the books I read take place in the "real world", even if that real world is 200 years ago. So quite a lot of the books the characters talk about are real, if now obscure. I am occasionally inspired to go look at these books after reading about how amused the characters are by -their- reading. The Pickwick Papers, for instance, is very popular. Pilgrim's Progress is another. I did not find either fun to read.
As far as fictional books go, since palmetto has claimed The Princess Bride, I'm going to have to say it's a tie between Hogwarts, A History and the Hitchhiker's Guide.
