Too true. It's impossible for me to choose one book. I generally get through 100-150ish books a year, so picking just one would be very difficult.

Some of mine would be:
Kerouac's - The Road
Bukowski - Post Office
all of vladimir mayakovsky's books have a special place in my heart
And, though I'm not a huge fantasy fan, Terry Pratchett is a genious

I grew up loving the 'His Dark Materials' books, starting with the golden compass. I've re-read it multiple times, (ok, maybe once or twice, but for someone who doesn't read as often as me, though I love reading, its a big deal) and I'm going to re-read it again one day. Too bad the movie didn't do better, I thought it was pretty solid, though maybe it just captured my nostalgia. Would have liked if they kept the original ending, but I can see why they did what they did.

I love Brave New World... which also influences one of my favourite guilty pleasure movies: Demolition Man

Yeah, they are great books! I have to agree fully with the movie, they should have kept the ending for sure it's something that makes the book such a good read.

My favourite series would be Robert E. Howard's Conan saga.

Same for me. Apart from Tolkien, Howard's Conan books are about the only series I've read all the way through.

As for favorite book, I'm probably going to catch some flak for it but... Intensity by Dean Koontz. He's written several others I really like, but this one in particular just captivates me right from very first chapter.

Harry Dresden
Miles Vorkosigan
Ice and Fire
Kingkiller
Discworld
Vlad Taltos
Amber
Lord of the Rings
Conan
Liaden

My fav series atm (partly because I just re-discovered it and I'm so happy about that ) is the Avatar Series.
The original trilogy was great, but with the last two books and the intrigue of actual gods, oh god so much fun
