    George Orwell - 1984

    Aldous Huxley - Beautiful New World (I hope that is right)

    Sebastian Haffner - Geschichte eines Deutschen (The Story of a German)

    Paul Auster - Moon Palace

    Gerhart Hauptmann - Bahnwärter Thiel

    J.R.R. Tolkien - Lord of the Rings

    Mary E. Shelley - Frankenstein

    Terry Pratchett - Small Gods

    Tad Williams - Memory, Sorrow and Thorn

    Ursula K. LeGuin - Earthsea

    etc.

    The Death's Gate Cykle (all seven books) by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. They have the most interesting plot i have ever read.

    Frostmage, I liked also Deathgate Cycle. The world was so unique and strange, and characters did things that I never expected. The books were great.

    The best book I've read is Lord of the Rings. I don't have any special reason for that - it just is. :)

    Isn't there already a thread for this? Unless the word "ever" will change the subject significantly..

    [​IMG] Yes, there is, and not just one... Boo there was warned not to make any new topics and he's managed to prove in the first that he should have heeded that warning. But it's too late to repent now.
