I have Good Omens signed by BOTH Terry Pratchett AND Neil Gaiman. Jealous? Took a nefarious scheme to do it.
My favorite book is either Welcome to the NHK or Train Man. They're opposite poles of the human condition, some days I prefer one over the other, and some other days I prefer the OTHER one to read.
Without being funny or clever, I can say that my favorite book is Where the Wild Things Are. It was the first book I bought after moving out from my parents'. It still speaks volumes about who I am as a person. I love the book to the point where I have an image from it tattooed on my left forearm. The fact that it is children's lit takes away from this not in the least.
Anvil of Ice was nice, but my favorite book is still...ugh hardly dare to say it..Splinter Cell.
I absolutly love that book. And every fan should read it!
mmm while not the best book I've ever read, it was one of the first I read for fun when I hit my teenage years, The Ancient Future by Traci Harding, I've read it maybe a dozen times over the decade, I enjoy it, an easy read, fun at the same time, like most of her books (the later ones in the series get really bogged down in mysticism though).
Guilty pleasure reading would be the Kildar series by John Ringo, so bad in so many ways, but still a fun read.
That doesn't sound nice.
I read the series, having found Lord Loss just after Demon Thief came out, and followed it since, they're better than the saga of Darren Shan, but not great, I think that Bec was the best book, because it gave the best motivations for the characters, and it gave you a full explanation of what went on, but didn't overcomplicate things.
Still, scary Big Bad, I mean how can you
kill death? It just doesn't work.
Anywho, my favourite books are probably Cell by Stephen King, Mortal Engines by Phillip Reeve and maybe, A Darkling Plain, in the same Quartet of books.
EDIT: I've heard some very good things about The Hitchhikers guide series by Douglas Adams, So I might pick those up soon.
My favourites are
Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes
The Journey to the West by Wu Cheng'en
In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust
The Divine Comedy by Dante
Kalevala by Elias Lönnrot
