Hmmmm, hard one.

Like TripleB, I would name a book by Stephen King as my #1 - The Stand was an incredible read, but so were so many other King books (and short stories)...The Green Mile, Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption, The Mist, It....

OK, my list:

#1 - Stephen King - any book
#2 - Fanny: Being the True History of the Adventures of Fanny Hackabout Jones - Erica Jong
#3 - The Martian Chronicles - Ray Bradbury
#4 - The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood
#5 - The Time Machine - H.G Wells
