Favourite Sci-Fi / Fantasy Books of all time... What's yours?

I started in The Silmarillion but lacked the will to stumble through the first couple of chapters so gave up on that.

I can now proudly say that I have completely read The Silmarillion from cover to cover :D :)
It is an absolutely amazing book. Took me 8 months though :oops:

Grrr, Imrahil

Well done indeed, I haven't even got halfway through listening to it being read on audiotape (having started doing so a couple of years ago) because it's very bulky and often difficult to digest. I'd better carry on where I left off next time I paint my minis.
 
Hmm, my favourite book of all time... that easy!

Terry Pratchett's Only You Can Save Mankind. Quite possibly the only book I can pick up and read again no matter how short a span of time it has been since I last read it... and now that I mentioned it, I feel an obligation to read it again right this moment.

Closely followed by: Discworld. Just... any and all Discworld novels.

*Notices the latest posts on this threat* Ah... I can honestly say I've not even tried to read the Silmarilion. I like reading... and that one just intimidated me away from it.
 
Hmm...

Lately, I have been reading old travelogues. Like... from the 1960's old, alongside a variety of histories of various electric railroads from across the United States of America and Europe. Not everyone's cup of tea, but if anyone is interested let me know and I'll suggest a few titles.
 
I know this is threadomancy, but I gotta say I have really been enjoying the Dungeon Crawler Carl series by Matt Dinniman. A friend suggested it to me and I have been very happy she did so.
 
I started reading the Baburnama, a sort of Autobiography of the guy who founded the Mughal Empire in Northern India... Lots of differing opinions about the guy from what the intro is telling me...
 
I can now say that the Silmarillion is my favorite Fantasy book of all time. I've read it 3 times and am working on a 4th!

I like your taste. I have read it 1,5 times now. The half being a brave attempt in my teenager years :p

I also like to read the English version at least once.

Grrr, !mrahil
