Ulysses - James Joyce The Border Trilogy - Cormac McCarthy The Maltese Falcon - Dashiell Hammett One Hundred Years of Solitude - Gabriel Garcia Marquez The short stories of Paul Bowles. Okay, they're stories, not novels, but I'm re-reading them now and damn are they good. |

Re: Favorite Author/Novel
I read a number of different genres, but as for favorite authors (my "go to" authors :D,) I'd have to say Robert Jordan (R.I.P.)--specifically the Wheel of Time series--in fantasy and Stephen Baxter in sci-fi. The wife & I both will read every John Sandford book as soon as it's released, although we prefer the audioversions read by Richard Ferrone. Good stuff.
