I own every Forgotten Realms book aver written, so that is an obvious choice.

Other than that, the Anne Rice Vampire books are cool.</font>

Oh, I forgot to add my favorite author:

Aeschylus- the whole Orestia, but especially Libation Bearers

The Bhagavad Gita is also one of my favorite books, but of course, that's a religious text, not a novel.

Heavy duty stuff:
The entire work of the Marquis the Sade (warning: not for the faint of heart, not recommended for anybody younger than 18 or the legal age in your country!)

I always found those to be rather boring & overated, it’s just the same thing (namely sex) Repeated over and over and over until your eyes melt and your brain leaks out your ears. After about 12 minutes I got bored of that kind of thing.</font>[/QUOTE]Yeah, I know, but when you think about it, they make great adult bed time stories... Ha, the perverted dreams!

Melusine, may I say, a very literate list. Has anyone ever figured out why women like Wuthering Heights and men don't? Attalus loathes it, saying that everybody in it needs drastically to be kicked, starting with Heathcliff, whom I think is dreamy. My favorite book of all time is (predictably) The Lord of the Rings. After that, the Divine Comedy, almost all of Shakespeare, The Hunting of the Snark, Zelazny's Dilvish the Damned, Heinlein's Starship Troopers and The Glory Road, Patricia McKillip's Riddlemaster Trilogy, and many, many more.

Cool topic! I'll move it over to the Books/TV Shows and Movies forum so you guys can check out the other cool topics that are there. :D

Moved here.

The Death Gate Cycle and the Dragon Lance Chronicles. I could read those books over and over and never get sick of 'em. Which reminds me, I haven't read them in awhile...
