I like books with great well developed characters I can relate to.
Currently I am reading Slaughter House Five:
It is a 1969 novel by best-selling author Kurt Vonnegut. One of his most popular works and widely regarded as a classic; it combines science fiction elements with an analysis of the human condition from an uncommon perspective, using time travel as a plot device and the bombing of Dresden in World War II, the aftermath of which Vonnegut witnessed, as a starting point.
When the book was released, the bombing of Dresden was not widely known and was rarely discussed by veterans and historians. The book led to an increased awareness of the bombings and a reevaluation of the justifications given for aerial bombing of cities by the Allies during the war.
Here are some other favorites:
1. The Wold According to Garp by John Irving
2. Fire Starter by Stephen King
3. Mona Lisa Overdrive by William Gibson
4.The Stand by Stephen King
5. Jurassic Park by Michael Cricton
6. The Language of God by Francis S. Collins
7. Moby Dick by Herman Melville
8. Enders Game by Orson Scott Card
9. Blue Beard by Kurt Vonnegut
10. Sideways by Rex Pickett

What? not who? Uhm.. I guess my favorite author would be a videocam. I have a feeling she remembers everything that she experienced even from when she was a baby.
^_^
Does that make any sense?

Sophocles rules :) I think there is not a single work as excellent as Oedipus the King... When he tears out his eyes, Oedipus says : What should I do with eyes where all is ugliness?
There is nothing more to say...

It is never easy to pick just one. The one that I pick now is based on the mood I'm in for reading certain kinds of literature.
At this moment, it is
Dean Koontz.
