Name ONE book that you really, really like.
 

I will name mine later...

Well, hell, what a question, and without even an answer from you.

But, Looking, since my name is Seeker, I'll bite.

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

oooohhhhhhhhhh Good one Seeker. :)

I'll go with...

The Stand by Stephen King

with

The Midnight Tour by Richard Laymon as a very close second. The only reason I didn't pick the tour is I have not read all of Laymon's books yet. I fear that I may like another even better. :D

Delta of Venus by Anais Nin.

In the sense that I really, really, really like it.

A Fire Upon the Deep, by Vernor Vinge.

Chinaman's Chance by Ross Thomas.

Little, Big by John Crowley

Replay by Ken Grimwood.

Its a fabulous "What if?" type of novel.

I'll go with "The Forever War" by Joe Haldeman. I always list it when people ask for recommendations for good sci-fi, and it holds up well to repeat readings.

Other faves include Steel Beach by John Varley and Deadeye Dick by Kurt Vonnegut.

Dune, by Frank Herbert

The Fountainhead, by Ayn Rand

Cannery Row by John Steinbeck

Pursuit by Thomas Perry.

Seconded.... :up:

The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.

Also:

The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester.

Old School sci-fi and a great description of synaesthesia!

Gravity's Rainbow

by Pynchon

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

Bill Chance
The Daily Epiphany

Damn...really really liked...

Timeline by Michael Crichton
Kane and Abel by Jeffrey Archer

Plum Island by Nelson DeMille.

Ok here's mine...

The Bible authored by more than 40 (or above) writers. The best selling book of all time. The first book ever printed.


[Okay]
Second favorite, books by JRR Tolkein...

The Seventh Scroll by Wilbur Smith.

Although it consists of more than one book I really like the Dark Tower series.

But since you said just ONE book I'll go with Wizard and Glass.

About a Boy by Nick Hornsby

LarLar - Good pick.
Little, Big has gotta be one of the finest novels of the last thirty years - I read it a couple of times each year, and it keeps getting better and better.
How do you feel about Mark Helprin's Winters Tale?

Haven't read it. I just placed a hold on it at my library, though.
