Classics:
War and peace (Wow!)
Fantasy:
Song of Ice and Fire. And of course on a second place Lord of The Rings
Post apocalyptic fiction:
A canticle for Leibowitz
Science Fiction:
Hard one. Ender's game is great. Dune is also good.
Humor:
Can't settle on one. I find the Discworld series to be light but good.
One more recommendation I don't know where to place:
Doomsday Book
Philosophy:
I hesitate to say it, but I found 'The Prince' to be an excellent read. Chilling, for sure, but an insightful book which gave an increased understanding of the successful - but in the minds of most people quite evil - rulers of the earth. An important book in that it can help people spot psychopathic leaders. IMHO.
