I am reading 1984 at the moment and i really like it.
my favourite book is Death & the Penguin by Andre Kurkov. its about a russian man who gets a job writing obituaries for a newspaper to be stored for when the person who has been obituarised actually dies, and he gets tangled up with the mafia. It also has a penguin called Misha in it which is ace.

Its "in your face" terror will keep you up for nights. Stephen King's subtle style is for whimps.

Anything by Robyn Mckinley; Fav by her though is either "deerskin" or "the hero and the crown"
I enjoy Dean Koontz (I have almost every book)
Scarlett by Alexandra Ripley
The count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
Killing me Softly by Nicci French
I tend to read a lot of Nietzsche when I can.
More often than not lately though, I've been reading several different newspapers everyday as reading, since I don't have time to go out and purchase a new novel.
brave new world by aldous huxley. makes you wonder if we are really making progress for the humanity.
i think my favorite book is catcher in the rye, probably cuz i could relate so well with holden caulfield...
