The Odyssey translated by Robert Feagles.

I'm also reading Bram Stoker's Dracula right now, and it isn't half bad either.

Captain Corelli's Mandolin is one of the most moving books I've read.

Honourable mentions to Alan Moore, Terry Pratchett, Robert Jordan and Jonathan Stroud.

Also: We, Brave New World, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
...I like dystopias...
Awesome choices. We and Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep are among my favorites.

I also love:
Mark Z. Danielewski - House of Leaves
Philip K. Dick - The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch
Cormac McCarthy - The Road
Neil Stephenson - Snow Crash (I expected at least one person here to love this one)
William R. Forstchen - One Second After

Tough tie between "'Salem's Lot" from Stephen King and "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Robert Heinlein.

American Gods
Imaginative and the first book I had to make myself stop reading and try to get some sleep. Read it in 2 days though

Watchmen or the collected works book I have of HP Lovecraft
Hell yeah to both!

My favorite would have to be Invisible Man (not The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells) with the full Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy coming up in a close second and Breakfast of Champions and God Bless You Mr. Rosewater tying for third.

Fiction: Sabriel, by Garth Nix
nonfiction: The Urban Hermit, perhaps the most hilarious and inspiring book ever written.

tough choice probably the dresden files series, by jim butcher, though ill always have a soft spot for mutineers moon, by david webber for being the book that first showed me that books arent all as bad as what i was fed in school

Fight Club

I'll never get tired of that book or the message in it.
I'm partial to this myself, as well as the movie. Also, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (as well as the movie) by Ken Kesey and 1984 by George Orwell.

Old mans war- sex, excessive use of the work Fuck, and realistic space travel with a handful of "shootin dem alien people" and also over seven uses of space travel theory being used to summarize the Galaxy

The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William L. Shirer. Very interesting historical nonfiction.

The Dirty Dozen by E. M. Nathanson. Very different from the movie, and pretty much my favorite fiction work of all time.

Tough question. The Name of the Wind, Dune, Ender's Game, American Gods, Catch 22, Slaughterhouse Five, A Clockwork Orange, the first four books in the Hitchhiker's Guide trilogy, The Dark Tower series, any of the books in the three Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever, Grendel, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, the Animorphs series, The Wheel of Time series, Mists of Avalon, Frankenstein, The Dragonriders of Pern series, what I've read of the Earthsea series, and a bunch of books by Michael Crichton all come to mind. If I absolutely had to pick one as my favorite, though, it'd probably be The Name of the Wind.
