At the moment, my favorite book is Terry Pratchette's Soul Music from the Discworld series. I need to get some more of the Discworld books ... I have most of the Death story arc books. I need to find more magically based ones though because of the supreme awesomeness of the head wizards of Unseen University
The title currently belongs to The Dark Tower series, which it took from Discworld.
The series/book that has held the title for longest is either Harry Potter or Artemis Fowl, but only because I've known about them for much longer than series I consider better, such as the The Dark Tower or Discworld.
The series/book which made the most of it's time with the title would be Ender's Game and all the books in the series.

Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton is my all time favourite book. Runners up include such classics as Prey by Crichton and The Mist by Stephen King (okay, that's a novella, but it counts in my books).
But my real reading joy comes from short stories. The aforementioned Stephen King and Mike Resnick consistently provide me with short but amazing pieces of literature.

My all time favorite series is the "Sprawl Trilogy" written by William Gibson. My favorite book is "Neuromancer", the first of the trilogy. It is truly one of the best Sci-Fi Cyberpunk books ever written and is basically the template for newer books such as "Snow Crash" by Neal Stephenson, which is awesome in it's own right.
Neuromancer's characters a deep and memorable, the plot is think and juicy, and the writing itself is pure poetry. I highly recommend Neuromancer and the two books that follow not to mention all of William Gibson's writing.

It's probably a three-way tie betwix' A Clockwork Orange, Give a Boy a Gun, and Prometheus Gave Up.
Awww man that book just turned into a snore fest half way through...Filler and more filler to put out a big book. When you read epic fantasy sagas for years you kinda can spot them half a mile....and Rothfuss(or whatever) falls into that place. Right along with George R.R. Martin and A Feast for Crows.MaxTheReaper said:
Anyway... Dune and in a good mood the rest of the series. Too bad Frank Herbert never finished the second trilogy, whish someone would write the follow up to Chapterhourse
une. Someone with talent.
