I think some of the old classics are definetly the best.
John Milton - Paradise Lost Mary Shelly - Frankenstein Emily Bronte(or sister) - Jane Eire (sp?) Hawthorne - House of 7 gables.

I recently read an excellent book called Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Suss? Sess? Something like that. Anyway it was a great read and it really opened my eyes to the world around me. That book guarantees that you will spend a good few days rethinking your lifestyle. The witty political satire and clever social jabs can be quite hilarious, too. Really, it's a book for everyone.
I should warn that the reading level required to fully understand this book is quite advanced.

Guardians of the Flame by Joel Rosenberg (sp?) the Dragonlance novels the Deathgate series by margret weis and tracy hickman and anything by HP lovecraft =D
|
I haven't read anything by Charlotte Bronte, but her sister's Wuthering Heights is one of the most unpleasant novels I have ever read.

why do people read and write such a fuck load of crap.
read Ulysses by James Joyce, one of the few books in english literature that managed to impress me.
so go read it.

Jane Eyre was equally as bad. Also, I was forced to read Jean Rhys' Wide Sargasso Sea which is a story about the crazy woman in the attic from Jane Eyre. It's also pretty terrible.

the dark tower series by stephen king is damn great, but not extremly known. i can only recommend it, a truly epic story!

My favorite part of that book was when he's like "Would you eat them with a mouse or in a house?" that was touching..
