2sy_morphiendInfinite Jest, The Stranger, The Pale King,Gravity's rainbow, and White Noise are all up there. I'd give it to IJ every day of the week though.
The Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison deserves a mention as well, and as cliched as it is I'd also put Heart of Darkness on any top 10.
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead, No Exit, and Waiting for Godot for top plays.
You read Gravity's rainbow? I was so confused I had a migraine after that book.

I loved gravity's rainbow, pynchon is a miracle worker even if reading him can be akin to reading the diary of a heroin addict in withdrawal.

My favorite single book is Dune right now. My favorite series is the Malazan Book of the Fallen.

Fault in our stars is a fucking terrible book. Had to read it for school this summer and its so cheesy. My favorite book. Hmmm...
As a kid my favorite was probably alex rider or something
But now I'd probably have to say my favorite book is animal farm, that or possibly elie wiesel's night or the book thief (maybe slaughterhouse 5)

puddddOhhh hard question either " To Kill a Mockingbird" or "Lord of the Rings"

Also calvin and hobbs, my god I am so reminiscent right now. Good times, good times. Oh and the giver and 1984. So many good books

A Song of Ice and Fire! Of course. Feels so cliche to mention it now that the show is out and it's so popular. :) But still, it's super good.
The Dune series! Including the many of the prequels and such, but I still haven't gotten through them all.
Stranger in a Strange Land.
The Bell Jar.
Also, I kiiiinda really liked The Hunger Games trilogy for the revolutionary themes. Too bad it was so poorly written. :(

The Old Man and the Sea
I think I've read it like 8 times, and it hasn't dulled a bit. So simple that a child could read it yet it's so wonderful.

The Fault in Our Stars was pretty good. I was dissatisfied with the ending, but so it goes.
Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins is probably my favorite book (and series, although I am a pretty huge Harry Potter nerd). It has a theme similar to her better-known Hunger Games trilogy, but in my opinion the Underland Chronicles are far better written.
Other than that, I remember liking:
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld
The Lurking Fear by H.P. Lovecraft
Frost and Fire by Ray Bradbury
A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin
The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien
The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells

Great Expectations is also very well written, although Dicken's being paid by the word is very evident and made it a lot tougher to keep interest in
