Mine would have to be the Inharitance series by Christopher Paloni. Its about a boy and his dragon. If you havent heard of them go out and get them. The first book is called Eragon. Its so amazing.

A Prayer for Owen Meaney - John Irving
The Stand - Stephen King
A Fine Balance - Rohinton Mistry
Many, many more.
I am rather surprised at those of you who like Dean Koontz so much....he's not a very nice man, I'm afraid....
If you like scary, odd, or strange books, you may want to try Clive Barker, or Bentley Little, they are particularly good.

I have been hearing a lot about Eragon, and will have to look for it.
I gotta say my absolute favorites right now is the Harry Potter series. I have reread them several times, and will do so again once the release date for Number Seven has been announced. I want to have my bookstore open in time to do the whole midnight party routine on first day of publication. The last book! Imagine!
After that, I guess it's the Lord of the Rings.

It all depends on my moods. But these I've read enough times I can quote them.
My brother loved the Paloni series a lot. When my son was born, he gave the set to him. I'm planning to read them to my son in a few years. We will enjoy them together.

my favorites are
1) Von Bek by Michael Moorcock. It is the second book of his Eternal Champion Cycle.
2)I also enjoy Titus Groan, Gormenghast and Titus Alone by Mervyn Peake. Very dark and gothic stuff.
3)I also love Dante's Divine comedy (Inferno, Purgatory, Paradise) and Milton's Paradise Lost.
