I am LegendBy Richard Matheson. As is so often the case much better than the films that have been based on this and more of a short story than a novel.
Only Forward is another good novel if more than a little weird and off the wall.
My favourite as a kid however was The Borribles just because the thought of a bunch of thieving little sods going off to murder the Wombles filled me with glee.
One to avoid has got to be Interview with a vampire. The main character makes you want to shout "Stop whining for fuck sake" at the book.

Agree on "I am Legend", it's a shame that all the films based on it have seemed to miss the point of the novel.
