I know it's kinda predictable but my favourite novels really are To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.

Long Dark Teatime was fucking awful and you know it.

That said, Holistic Detective Agency is great.

Actual post content: The Illium/Olympos books by Dan Simmons are a great read, if you like bizarre science fiction involving pseudo-Greek Gods, irreverent technobabble, and an obscenely powerful side-character getting crippled using a dash of trickery and chemistry.

I find it really hard to choose only one book. I've read too many (mostly sci-fi/fantasy), and I tend to fall in love with whatever it is I'm reading at the time. :p

Must be Utopia by Thomas More. I get something new out of it everytime, and a laugh.

Probably the Birth of Tragedy by Nietzsche. This had a profound effect on me when I first read it, even though I only understood half of it (knowing nothing about the Ancient Greeks).
