One of my many favorites is a classic science fiction book from the 1950s, The Door into Summer, by Robert A. Heinlein.
The book deals with a classic love triangle, complicated by money, greed and .... a time machine? It's a bit dated now, but the themes still hold true and I find it a fascinating look at how people viewed our time 50 years ago.
Robert A. Heinlein was one of the most popular science fiction writers ever. Most of his books are still in print today. He wrote such classics as Stranger in a Strange Land, Have Spacesuit Will Travel, The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, Friday, and (for you sci-fi movie junkies) Starship Troopers.

my favorite book is a french book written by Albert Camus whose title is "the stranger" "l'étranger" because I like this author and his interpretation of the pointlessness. More light, I like the books of Jane Austen and Alain-Fournier

ARCADIA by Tom Stoppard (the guy who wrote the screenplay to SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE). It's a play, rather than a novel, but it's still my favorite "book."
