On the Road. Jack Kerouac.
The minute I finished the last page, I bought a ticket to South America. Started off in Argentina and hitchhiked a few countries. I always thought "being inspired" by a work of art was bullsh*t. How wrong I was.
(Chuck is good. The movie adaptation of Choke is very solid... funny as hell. Pretty true to the book.)

The anarchists cookbook.........Just kidding. Kinda.
I enjoyed where the red fern grows as a teen. Also The stand by SK. First real novel I read was Watchers by Dean Koontz. I read a book about every 4/5 days. Horror, politics, sci fi, alt history, civil and rev. war books. Biographies of most of the early presidents. Basically anything. I 'm a voracious reader. Wish i could spell as well as I can read.

Yes, I've read the Elminster books, they're pretty awesome....Elminster is quite a character.
No, haven't gotten a chance to read Aasimove or Orwell, but I've heard good things and will eventually.I can go through a 400 page book in a period of about five hours if I read straight through, sometimes less.

That is a amazing book (maybe some people think im crazy haha how can you like Tolstoi). But i think everybody should give it a chance. I like that book really much
But i like soooo many other books too.

John Irving is awesome too.The World According to Garp had me roaring with laughter in certain parts.The Hotel New Hampshire was also good,if a little creepy with the whole incest thing. He has really quirky and interesting characters.

Three Musketeers and Count of Monte Cristo by Dumas are both great.
The Power of One is also one of those books that I have read at least 10 times.
I second Tolkien and will add C.S. Lewis to the discussion as well.
i'm with you on Count of Monte Cristo and C.S. Lewis. the movie Count of Monte Cristo was total shit, 75% was not in the book, i'm really not exaggerating. C.S. Lewis's book Miracles was an amazing book, it's not written for christians it's for anyone, he just argues in a philosophical way the existence of God, and they are the best arguments i've ever heard of in my life. hell of a lot better than Kirk Cameron's shit
Loved The Great Gatsby

i read anything and everything that catches my attention
most of the non fiction i read are scientific publications, most of which are so technical even if you WANT to follow them its a difficult read, lol
i also read alot of historical non fiction, and there was a period where all i read for about 6 months was spiritually related.
I still say The Art of War was one of the best compilations of wisdom put to press, and i say that not because i am a violent person, im not; but the world is a violent plce and its better that your equipped to deal with it than be caught with your pants down...

Well it goes without saying that the best book anyone will ever read is 'The Book' - a literal translation of The Bible's title.
But after that, like someone had said before, Orwell's 1984.
I did read the shit out of some Dean Koontz for a while. It seems to me people who like Koontz like Stephen King, people who like Stephen King like Dean Koontz, but really I have read a few Stephen King books, and I do not care to read more. Nothing against him, it's obvious he's a good writer, I just don't like his style. Dean Koontz I feel captures the insane brain and the thoughts the people must go through in his books a lot better. Also his raw violence and intense action scenes are well enough captured if you have even a tiny imagination to picture them.
Of course, I went through a goosebumps kick as a child, and I read the hardy boys in my early teen years, and I was the only one ever, I can imagine, to like the boxcar children, which was in between the last two.
