The Nov 18, 2013 answer is deprecated. The current answer according to https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/

<meta property="og:image" content="http://static01.nyt.com/bookJumbo-v2.jpg" />

As rightly commented by demrks, Facebook uses open graph meta tags.

For your specific problem, you can use the og:image meta tag,

<meta name='og:image' content='path'>

Replace path with the path to where your image is.

You can check how your url appears on the timeline by using the Facebook url debugger.
