What - to date - is your ALL time fave book

My all time favourite book has changed - for real this time.

You know when you've just finished a very good novel, that you get this feeling like : "That was the best book ever!!", but a month later you've already forgotten it.

Well, that's not the case with me, this time. I just finished Cryptonomicon, and it blew my proverbial socks off!!! Best book, ever!

Cheers, Martin

Ulysses by James Joyce
Der Steppenwolf by Herman Hesse
On The Road by Jack Kerouac
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (entire Series!) by Douglas Adams

Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
Animal Farm by George Orwell
Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger

I know it's more than just 3, but i can't and won't limit it down to any number ;)
 
The Book of the New Sun - Gene Wolfe

Four volumes (now published in two collected volumes), one amazing work. Not just the story, but the language. And the meaning.
 
I really do hate this question, yet people continue to ask it. :p

I do not have one.
I do not have three.

So I'm going to give you my favorites in no particular order.

  • Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien
  • Harry Potter and the... by J.K. Rowling
  • The Iliad and The Odyssey by Homer
  • Ruled Britannia by Harry Turtledove

..and that's leaving out a lot.
