    Douglas Adams both Dirk Gently and Hitchers Guide to the Galazy series (Best books ever penned

    Jasper Ffordes both The Nursery Crime and Thursday Next series (Second best books ever penned)

    ...other than that, nothing has come CLOSE to being even remotely as good :frowning2:

    I do love alot of other books, just not as much.

    Hero by Perry More (currently reading) is very good.

    I can't go past Sarah Waters' Fingersmith and Tipping The Velvet. Her other books didn't do too much for me, but those two were amazing.

    My number one is A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving. Other novels by him like Cider House Rules and Garp are great too.

    Others include:
    One Hundred Years of Solitude (followed closely by Love in the Time of Cholera) by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
    Book of Laughter and Forgetting (and Unbearable Lightness of Being) by Milan Kundera
    The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles (and Kafka on the Shore and Norwegian Wood) by Murakami

    I actually don't read too much, but when I do I tend to read many books by the same author.

    The Outsiders by SE Hinton is my favorite book ever. No matter how many times I read it, I don't get tired of it. Also:

    Harry Potter
    The Wicked Series (I'm in the middle of the 3rd one)
    Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe
    The Mysterious Benedict Society (sort of for kids, but still amazing!)
    Anything by Tamora Pierce
