Your favorite book.

[martin's a madman]

Atlas Shrugged was pretty good.
Watchmen, when compiled as a set counts as a book.
V for Vendetta.
I'm also about to read Flowers for Algernon, The Fountainhead, and Nineteen Eighty-four, and I assume I'm going to love them.

something about that comment doesnt sit well with me. i think it can count for more than just a spiritual sequel cause it is DEFINETLY the same universe as the first book.its based on the children of a main character from the first book. it doesnt tie much else story line wise from the first book into it than that, except the conversation with anansi himself. but i still have to say american gods was better, shadow and wednesday were two of my all time favorite characters. mr. nancy (a.k.a. anansi) as well.

i got to say terry pratchett's and neil geillman's Good omens. if you havent read it than you really should look into it.

Trying to be original, which whittled away I am Legend, Chuck Palhniuk, and HP Lovecraft.

Solaris by Stanislaw Lem. It's the anti-space opera. Contends that even if we found aliens, we would never be able to communicate with them in a meaningful manner, or even recognize them as sentient. The alien being a metaphor for God, of course. Kind of like tragedy with the Buggers taken to logical extremes.

Day of the Triffids by John Wyndham, it's about killer plants and how the city's been taken over by them and only a few survivors remain, what's not to like? =D

 

[ars731]

Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons or The Areas of My Expertise and More Information Than You Require by John Hodgman

 

[Chaos Theory]

Starcraft Ghost Nova by Keith R. A. DeCandido

....the ending made my cry XD

 

[Sindaine]

Green Angel, by Alice Hoffman. Short little book, the artwork inside is gorgeous and the woman writes the way I always wished I could.

 

[ArcWinter]

The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss.

It is important because he has a beard.

 

[Matt_LRR]

As a kid, it was"The Phantom Tollbooth"

as an adult, "jPod", easily.

[Rancid0ffspring]

Even though I am currently reading it Rum Diaries By Hunter Thompson.
Next book will be fear & loathing in las vegas or maybe Kingdom of Fear. Gotta love his writing style

 

[The Aimless One]

"Dusk" and it's sequel "Dawn" by Tim Lebbon.

He paints a fascinating picture of violent dying world.
Delightfully grim fantasy.

 

[Jonesy911]

Mulengro by Charles de Lint,
Watchmen by Alan Moore,
Moby Dick by you know who...(Herman Melville)

Darren Shan's Demonata Series. Anything in their is pure gold.

How can something with a cover like this be bad?

Whilst googling the title I managed to typo it into Hell's Herpes. Needless to say the results were less than pleasent.

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

Spoiler

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.
