I have to extend that to "books" rather than just one book.
My choice is The Malazan Books of the Fallen by Steven Erikson - 12 in all so far in a continuous story and each volume a block-buster. |
it is always the book I am reading now, but the one that had the biggest influance on my life was The Rune Staff, by Micheal Moorcock. It was the first book I had read in full in my life I was 17 at the time.

The picture of Dorian Gray.
Kafka on the shore. The Great Gatsby. Little Women. Dracula. The Idiot. |
Watchmen. If you don't count graphic novels then Sirens of Titan.

Hmm...favorite books would be
- Love and Louis XIV: The Women in the Life of the Sun King by Antonia Fraser It made me fall in love with the Sun King even more than before. - Deep Love Ayu This is a manga so I'm not sure if it counts. However if it does, I will never read anything as disturbing yet beautiful as this book! It changed my life. - Any book by Erma Bombeck She always makes my bad days better. I wish that she was still alive. She was far too young to die. Rest in peace, Erma. We all miss you and your wonderful sense of humor! :hug: |
Kraken - China Mieville
Perdido Street Station - China Mieville Footfall - Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle The Saga of Seven Suns - Kevin Anderson Dune - Frank Herbert I think Perdido Street Station really changed me as a person though. The Librarian |
The Odyssey - Homer
Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind - Shunryu Suzuki To Have or To Be - Eric Fromm Ragazzi di vita - Paolo Pasolini |
So many to choose from but the series of books that I continue to go back to, for comfort and familiarity is the Belgariad and Mallorean series by David Eddings.
|
A lot of books above that I really enjoyed: The Idiot, Belgariad series, Krishnamurti's notebook... Top notch.
Others: Communion, Strieber Moon Palace, Music of Chance: Paul Auster Autobiography of a Yogi: Yogananda Neuromancer: Gibson Name of the Rose: Eco |
