Goedele Liekens her books about the vagina, penis and the orgasm are awesome. Her books can I recommend it to anyone 

[twiggie]

The Redemption of Althalus  -David and Leigh Eddings  is one of my all time favorites.

[The_Xenologer]

Ready Player One has become one of my favourite books. It combines some of my favourite topics (retro gaming, sci-fi/fantasy, and geek culture in general) with my favourite subgenre (dystopian sci-fi); and includes engaging characters with a well-written story that has quite a bit to say about contemporary society.

American Psycho - Bret Easton Ellis (I like a lot of his books)
The Godfather - Mario Puzo
The Alchemist - Paolo Coelho
Les Miserables - Victor Hugo
His Dark Materials - Philip Pullman
Fight Club - Chuck Palahniuk
The Picture of Dorian Grey - Oscar Wilde

I prefer another, not well-known, book of Umberto Eco, called "Baudolino". You can learn so much about history, but it is also amusing and you can read(?) also details from "between the lines".

For me it's The Map Of Time by Felix J. Palma, and it's sequels. There's just something about that series that's completely unlike anything I've ever read. Can't put my finger on what it is though.

Die Unendliche Geschichte (The Neverending Story) by Michael Ende. The Jungle Book and The Second Jungle Book by Joseph Rudyard Kipling. All the Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. And everything written by John Ronald Reuel Tolkien and Howard Phillips Lovecraft

[Maverick]

Mine would be The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas.

All the Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. And everything written by John Ronald Reuel Tolkien and Howard Phillips Lovecraft

All the Holmes stories are definitely up there for me too, as are The Lord of the Rings books, which I need to read again. I've liked the little Lovecraft I've read too.

It's hard to pin to down to just one, but I have a list of authors that I will always buy their new books:

William Gibson
Alastair Reynolds
China Mievile
Christopher Priest

As you can see mostly British SF

[Maverick]

The Bible.

That is my ultimate favorite book. 

[lou16ben]

Favourite book is any of the Harry Potter series... I know it doesn't sound as intelligent as others but they are great books

[tkh]

at the moment my absolutly preferred book (besides the bible and Eco's Baudolino) is Peter Bamm's "The invisible flag" (German: Die unsichtbare Flagge)

[Longingtobenude]

Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace.  The craziest book I've ever read, and Wallace was some kind of dark wizard or mad scientist.  I want to read it a 2nd time but I'm actually afraid to start such a journey 

[rockasocka1992]

The Hobbit
