I also love to read. More than favorite books, I have favorite authors and favorite series. My all-time favorite book is most certainly the Bible, but I have a feeling that you weren't looking for that... Okay, brace yourself. My two top Favorite authors are Tamora Pierce and Eoin Colfer. Their words just make you feel like you are in the story yourself, living as the characters do. They are the authors of The Immortals Series, Song of the Lioness Series, The Trickster Series etc.....(Tamora Pierce must have written over twenty books and I have read them all) and as for Eoin Colfer, The Artemis Fowl Series. Also I am currently waiting for the third book in the Inheritance Trilogy by Christopher Paolini to come out. Great writing! Sorry if I have Bored you to sleep (or to death).

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, an Inquiry Into Values. The author is Robert Pirsig. This book takes a deep look at metaphysics, and also tells an interesting tale of a bike ride across the USA.

This is one of the ONLY kinds of questions I answer for the sheer pleasure of it! No point trolling here... I would answer this for absolutely nothing at all!
James Joyce... All of his books, writings, screenplays and poems are wonderful! Each for different reasons. Yes, they are difficult, I won't be pretentious and say that they are not... But when you read his passages for the umpteenth time and finally just get it... It is euphoric, it means something more than just its intention. He was an absolute genius!
No one does it better~

It is totally a matter of taste, like asking your favorite color.
I have found some very, very popular authors' works to be just awful.
Also depends on the kind of material you like to read. I could suggest a great historical work, but if you can't sit through it, you won't like it.
But since you asked, 2 of my favorites are "Catch-22" by Joseph Heller and "Cryptonomicon" by Neal Stephenson.
