The best book I own is The Man In The High Castle by Philip K Dick. I believe in the Library though, and they should continue to be supported and supplied with printed materials (in case some apocalypse happens and books return as our primary source of education).

Here is my list:

Snow Crash.
The Shack.
Build your own combat robot.
Turn around and run like hell: unconventional military strategies that worked.
The Complete works of William Shakespeare.

Yes, I have many things to add to my library.

Just getting to this point was great but the final book blew the others away.

Damn it. Its Dark Tower Vol 7: The Dark Tower
You had an unnecessary character after the ".jpg".

The Last Olympian(Book 5 of the Percy Jackson Series)

it's just fucking awesome
Did you read the newest one [http://www.amazon.com/Heroes-Olympus-Book-One-Lost/dp/142311339X]?

OT: Probably The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. Can't wait until March 1, 2011, Wise Man's Fear, hooray!

Deadhouse Gates by Steven Erikson



Best book I've ever read and best of the entire series The Malazan Books of the Fallen. Which is really hard to choose a favourite from.

I did pick up a cheap copy of Don Quixote today though, one which seems to be a really good, recent translation. Charity shops are awesome
Oh man, it's so hard to pick a favorite, but I think Deadhouse might be it - the cohesiveness of Coltaine's story and the way the whole tale played out was amazing, and this is also the book that pretty much sets up the rest of the future events in the series. It puts so many of the major players in place for what is coming. I need to finish that series... or at least what's available. And then read Esselmont's books.

Nevertheless, probably the best book I own would either be Catch-22 or Pratchett's Small Gods. Both have been read so much I've gotten second copies.

I'm in a humorous mood at the moment so I'm going to have to go with A Confederacy of Dunces [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Confederacy_of_Dunces] by John Kennedy Toole. It's quite simply the funniest book ever written and I'm rather disappointed no one else has mentioned it. Other books I might choose depending on my mood include The Two Towers, 1984, Through the Looking Glass, Breaking Dawn, Speaker for the Dead and The Count of Monte Cristo.
I'm sorry sir, but did you just list Speaker for the Dead and Breaking Dawn in the same sentence?

I have many owned books which, admittedly, most either suck or are average.

But seeing as how it was over 400 pages long, costs around $13 dollars, and really had me interested in reading the whole damn thing, I'd say Halo: Evolutions.

Because unlike the Halo video games, Halo books are actually interesting.

On a side note,

Lego Book and Eisenhorn look awhsum.
