I love anything by Haruki Murakami and Herman Hess, particularly Wind Up Bird Chronicle and Siddhartha. A book that I really enjoyed that wasn't written by either is The Life of Pi by Yann Martel.

[gilravadry]

It's very rare for me to pick up anything that isn't fantasy fiction, but here are my top picks:

The Wheel of Time Series - Robert Jordan (R.I.P.)
The Great Book of Amber - Roger Zelazny (R.I.P.)
Acacia - David Anthony Durham
The Demonwar Series (And anything else that wasn't done under contract to Wizards of the Coast, or TSR...) - R.A. Salvatore
The Memory, Sorrow, Thorn series - Tad Williams
The Sherlock Holmes Mysteries - Sir Arthur Connan Doyle
A Book of Five Rings - Myamoto Musashi (Been ages since I've read that one...)
The Vampire Chronicles - Ann Rice

That's all I can list for now without going through my entire collection.

`Hmm...I'm surprised no one made mention of the five-book trilogy, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

[(deleted)]

.I always preferred the radio series to the books.

[(deleted)]

.I would like to try those some day. Would remind me of the days of old when people just had radio to listen to as they sat around with family, listening.

`It's fantastic. Went for two serieses in the 70s I think and they recently brought it back for the tertiary phase. Good stuff.
