.My favorite of Steinbeck's, and I'm a huge Steinbeck fan. Charming, witty, rich characters and a wonderful story.

One book that I really, really like is Falling Angel by William Hjortsberg. Yup, that's where they made the movie Angel Heart from.
Okay, I can't do just one, and I'm not the only one listing seconds, so I don't feel so bad....
another book I really really like is Good Omens by Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaiman.

It took me twenty-odd years to read it, and it was worth every decade.

Kissing in Manhattan by David Schickler
Can we have a thread were people actually limit themselves to one thing? This isn't an all-time favorite book thread, it's just name ONE you really really like. The whole point is to pick one, it's supposed to be a hard choice.

It's Superman by Tom DeHaven
It takes the Superman mythos and infuses it with 40's Americana. Such a surprisingly well written book, that feels more like science fiction than a typical superhero book. If it wasn't based on a franchise, I have no doubt this book could have won all sorts of scifi book awards.
