Your favorite books

Invisible Cities - Italo Calvino

Crime and Punishment - Fyodor Dostoyevsky

dune, clockwork orange, wheel of time series, atlas shrugged

The Wardstone Chronicals as already suggested...Written for teenagers but a great series.

A Song of Ice and Fire (aka Game of Thrones) is an amazing series so far for me

Gaunts Ghosts and the Eisenhorn trilogy by Dan Abnett is another amazing series

The Millennium Trilogy by Steig Larsson (The Girl in the Dragon Tattoo etc.) was another favourite read of mine

The Betrayal/Revenge/Destiny trilogy is an amazing lesser known fantasy series I loved reading and it made my search for the books all the sweeter when I finally got them all

'The Princess Bride' by William Goldman.

There's just too much good stuff to say about this book, but for my money, the sword fight between Inago and Westley on the Cliffs of Insanity is the best written fight scene ever put to paper.

Malazan Book of the Fallen series.

@Zelnox: Although I'm not really into non-fiction books I have to admit your recommendations sound very interesting. Considering that we are living in the Informatio Age it might be interesting to read about the historical development of information.

Anything Edgar Allen Poe or HP Lovecraft.

Also, The Elder Edda and Beowulf.

And Japanese Death Poems.

Might see if I can get more from other Oriental cultures, if they exist.

And I am looking to start reading Nietzsche, Dostoyevsky, maybe some more epics and some Plato or something when I get a chance in the summer.

@GunslingerPanda: The following quote by Fangoria magazine might tell you all to need to know:

"John dies at the End is like an H. P. Lovecraft tale if Lovecraft were into poop and fart jokes."

Bascially it's a comedic horror novel with buddy movie elements which is just hilarious if you are into this kind of stuff.

There is also a movie, directed by Don Coscarelli of Phantasm and Bubba Ho-Tep fame, which will be released this year...

'Brave New World'

'The Count of Monte Cristo'  A truly remarkable tale of revenge....

That does not sound like my kind of thing at all. Thanks.
