I'm not someone who reads books over and over again with once usually being enough. I have read trainspotting a few times though, and agree that it's amazing. Actually my all time favorite would probably be this though:

I'm currently on my fourth read through it, and it's still completely entertaining. It actually makes me laugh out loud on quite a few occasions, which is not common at all for me to do while reading. Amazing and inspiring story too. Incredible book all around.

I always seem to go back to 2 books, Generation-X by Douglas Copeland and The Wasp factory by Iain Banks.

I'd love to see a movie made of The Wasp Factory.

I was just reflecting on this book the other day.

As far as the story goes, you couldn't really imagine a more ****ed-up one. And the writing is vivid and uncompromising. But it ends with an unexpected pang of sweetness or something akin to nostalgia.

It's excellent.

I really, really like that book too. I've read pretty much all of Cormier's books, I think.

One of my favorites as well, tied with David Copperfield!
My favorite book of all time is actually the collected short stories of Mark Twain. As for a novel, I'd have to go with Les Misérables. I have only read one translation so far though..

A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks. He's my favorite author anyway, but I just love this book...it's sweet, and I think it's great in books and movies when you really can notice a change in someone taking place, and in this book, both main characters help change each other for the better. Good read.

I think I changed my mind on my favorite book, Trainspotting may have changed my life, but this

has to be the best written book of all time

I just got done reading Artie Lange's book Too Fat To Fish. That dude went through some crazy stuff to get where he is now. Before that, I reread Chuck Palakniuk's Fight Club. That's another great book alot of you have probably read.

Probably this. But, this would be a fairly close second:

George Orwell is a magnificent writer.
