"The Time Machine" by H. G. Wells
1895
At first, the far future looks like an enchanting place to the Time Traveller. The graceful Eloi appear to embody contentment, beauty and peace, and the Eden they live in seems to be free of suffering. But he soon comes to understand that the Eloi are fragile creatures, desperately afraid of the dark, and with good reason. For the Morlocks live in the dark, and the Morlocks are to be feared. And the Time Traveller must venture into their subterranean world to find his way back to his own era.

I'm not much one for classics, as you may know, but this was a stellar book. It's important too - it's the first book to envision that time travel could be possible with the aid of a mechanical machine. It redefined science fiction and practically created a whole genre in itself. Hell, without this book, there is no TARDIS. And it's worth it just for that.
A good book that everyone should read, especially any Doctor Who fans.
