Probably Fear and Loathing in Las vegas by Hunter Thompson, or World War Z by Max Brooks.

The Ragged Trouser Philanthropists by Robert Tressell; Marxism... to the max.

OR

The Clockwork Orange by some guy, and the film was really good too.

The Silmarillion. The thing is my freaking bible.
I've managed Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit, but the Silmarillion I just failed at. Although this was when I was 11 (I really got into Tolkein when I was 9/10 when I read Lord of the Rings), so I could give it another shot.

Either The Sword of Truth, The Edge Chronicles or Expedition: Being and Account in words and artwork of the 2358 A.D. Voyage to Darwin IV

Entire Wheel of Time series...
Pretty much this.


I don't have the ENTIRE Wheel of Time series, (1-7 and 9. I couldn't find 8 anywhere) but the ones that I've already read (1-5. I'm almost finished 5) are really good.
Yeah they are great books, very complex with alot of deep characters. I can't wait for the next book to come out from the new author, he did a great job on #12.
It's terrible that Robert Jordan died. I'm sure that book 12 would be different if he would've wrote.

I'm not saying that book 12 is bad. I haven't really heard much about it, but I'm sure it's still good. I'm just saying that it probably would've been...different if Robert Jordan wrote it...
[sub]Not sure how to explain, but I hope you understand what I mean[/sub]
How awesome would an ultimate wheel of time book be? About 10000-12000 pages compressed into 1 book. It would have to be 3x4 just to be the same thickness of his normal books. A thousand pages, each the size of 12 pages. If the font of the normal paperbacks was kept, and if it wasn't printed on super-thin paper (like the Ultimate Bourne collection).
:D
Jeez. The book would be HUGE.

I'd buy it. I'd keep all the other books, but I'd buy it just so I can say that I have it!
Well, it depends how expensive it was...
[sub]Also: I've been quoted a lot in this thread...[/sub]

It was Good Omens by Terry Pratchet and Neil Gaiman. Quite possibly funnier than Hitchhikers, without all it's randomness.

Count of Monte Cristo, Unabridged, Penguin Classic's edition, translated by Robin Buss.

Most complete and easy to read translation I have found.

Anything by Mitch Albom's later books, after he quit sports books.
Hatchet is pretty good.
