I can't believe it took this long for Ender's Game to be mentioned. This book is must read for all teenagers if you ask me.

I also agree that Eyes of the Dragon was one of King's best by far.

You're awesome, I love this book. It is my favorite Vonnegut and suprisingly few people have read it.

I know exactly what you mean, which is why I have given this book as a present at least ten times to different friends.

I like epic adventure novels:

Don Quixote - Cervantes (My favorite book).
Watership Down - Richard Adams
The Hobbit - Tolkien

I also like a lot of Russian literature, especially 19th century: Chekhov, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Turgenev.

For non-fiction I like poker books and books on statistical sports analysis(Baseball Prospectus, Moneyball, Hidden Game of Football, Sharp Sports Betting...)

I despise Pahlaniuk(Fight Club was good, but I find his other work repetitive and tiresome), Vonnegut(All his books), Heller(Catch-22) and Adams(Hitchhiker's Guide). Yeah, I'm asking to get flamed. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Catch-22 is boring, overwrought and pointless.
