Being an avid reader, that's really a tough one. However, Iain M. Banks has some amazing work, my favourite being "Use of Weapons".

Coming a close second is "Smith of Wootton Major" by J.R.R. Tolkein.

I'm a bibliophile. I don't read books all that often, even though I've a personal library nearing 1,000 titles. When I do start reading one, I often find another book and get enthralled in that one, and so on and so on so that I often never finish the original.

Fiction:

Lord of the Rings - Prey - Journey to the Centre of the Earth

Non-Fiction:

Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers - Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong

Non-Fiction

Human Action--Ludwig von Mises

Man, the Economy, and the State with Power and Markets--Murray Rothbard

America's Greate Depression--Murray Rothbard

Fiction-Atlas Shrugged

Both. I like to change it up from time to time. Sometimes I like to curl up with a nice Dean Koontz novel, on the other hand, real life can be extremely entertaining.

Cat's Cradle, Vonnegut

My top three-

"Capital" - by Karl Marx, "Principles of Social Reconstruction" - by Bertrand Russell, and "Civilization and It's Discontents" - by Sigmund Freud.

Harry Potter series!! I don't read much english books since I'm in Japan and all but I think the best book is Harry Potter :D
