The Xeelee series (Stephen Baxter, "Vacuum Diagrams" being a good starting book), the Uplift series (David Brin, "Sundiver" being a good starting book), the Known Space series (Larry Niven, "Ringworld" being a good starting book), and the Foundation series (Isaac Asimov, "Foundation" being a good starting book) are the best books ever written. Or at least something close.

Same here except I am only on Wolves of Calla It really is a great series. My favorite in the series so far has to be Wizard and Glass.

Damn, I don't read enough books, but the ones I've liked loads:
His Dark Materials
The Star Maker
Consider Phlebas
Spares
For NF action: Stalingrad, Berlin and pop science headf***s like The Selfish Gene.
I'll always have a soft spot for The Dark Wheel by Rob Holdstock. Probably the 'book' I've read more times than any other.

I could go with The Hitch-Hiker's Guide. I also just finished up Angels and Demons by Dan Brown. That was a marvelous book, along with The DaVinci Code (but A&D was better). Also Brown's book Deception Point in becoming quite a page turner.
Also, I might get made fun of for this, Jurrasic Park and Jaws were both very good books.

Well, when I was just a wee lad it was Where the Wild Things Are.
Pretty much anything by Vonnegut I like, Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway, Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Nietzsche, and always enjoy a Stephen King book.
Currently reading The Devil in the White City, very interesting.
The Scarlet Letter is, by far, the worst piece of **** book I've ever had to read however, Nathaniel Hawthorne should burn in hell.

I could't possibly choose a single favourite, but there's plenty that have affected me hugely:
The Grapes of Wrath, John Steinbeck.
Frankenstein, Mary Shelley.
Illywhacker, Peter Carey.
Midnight's Children, Salman Rushdie.
Labyrinths, Jose Luis Borges.
I notice a lot of science fiction in other people's influences here, not surprising given where we are, but if you've not read any then I strongly recommend Iain M Banks, he's the only modern SF writer with any originality I think :)

No one is saying the Bible? You're all going to hell heathens. That one part where Jesus goes to the Orient and kills all those ninjas and has that nunchuk fight with Buddha is great.
Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis is great book, in all seriousness. Secret of NIMH was great when I read it in 3rd grade, one of about two books I had to read throughout school career that I actually enjoyed.

For a completely different reason than most:
The Kon-Tiki Expedition by Thor Heyerdahl. original print.
It was bought for me by my folks when I was just a kid. We were at the the beach near our home and were readying to go home. I didnt have a book to read for the trip and the only shop selling books was an antique shop. We went to have alook for anything reasonably priced and interesting, and I found it.
Sometimes its not the story that counts, but how its told :)

Yes indeed. I love those earlier science fiction books. Foundation should be a must read for anyone. And Ringworld....omfg they REALLY need to make that into a movie. Nowadays it can be done very easily. Shikari you read the newer Foundation books by Greg Bear and others?

Of course I have! They're great books, and they were the ones that introduced me to Greg Bear, David Brin, and Gregory Benford (all great authors!)
I forgot to mention a fifth favorite series, the Culture series by Iain M. Banks. Its definitely one of the best out there.
I have to say that Flux is probably one of my favorite books of all time. Unlike most Stephen Baxter books, it has good characterization, but most of all the entire concept is so creative, so wild, so completely off-the-wall that I absolutely loved it. Sunstorm is also a favorite of mine: how much better can you get than an "end of the world" book about the triumph of humanity over an oncoming disaster rather than its destruction?
