Depends what you're into, really. You apparently like "To Kill A Mockingbird" and "The Photography Book". Heh, that's a pretty big range. I'll give some of my favorites that I think are pretty easy to like while still unusual.
Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray" - Good book, very decadent and visual, but it will be a bit dragging at times if you don't love detail.
Franz Kafka - Anything by him. Generally they just sell compilations of short stories, since he only wrote a few books and they aren't as good. "The Complete Short Stories" would be your best best. He's very bizzare, but realistic at the same time. Extremely hard to explain, which is why they invented the word "kafkaesque". But I think almost anyone would like it.
Ayn Rand's "Anthem" - She writes a lot of long philosophical tedious books, but this one is under 100 pages. Extremely engaging, kind of like "The Giver" or "1984" if you've read those.
Dante's "Inferno" - You probably know what it is. You gotta get a good translation, though. Older ones are extremely hard to follow. It's only part 1 of his "Divine Comedy".
As far as the photography books, most of the time when I buy a book I just find something I like, like that, or something I want to learn, go to Amazon.com and find a well-rated book on it, and buy it. You know, look for another book on photography, learn to juggle, whatever.
