Most of my favourites are series, rather than individual novels.

I particularly love the Necroscope series by Brian Lumley, for it's unrelenting horror and gore. I read these back in highschool & they still fascinate me. At the other end of the scale, I adore Terry Pratchett's Discworld, though I'm especially fond of The Last Continent, but I might be biased by all the references to Australia. I'm still partway through a Song of Ice and Fire, but it has burned a place in my heart, despite the sheer complexity - I need to write notes to myself just to keep track of all of the goings-on.

Individually, The Curious Case of the Dog in the Night Time and The Truth Machine were both hugely important novels for me.

I actually read surprisingly little for pleasure. I'm on the lazy side & I tend to spend an afternoon watching three movies rather than read part of a novel. I guess I was influenced by my parents' taste, when I was young and looking for books to read, I found Stephen King novels on their bookshelf, & I've always been really interested in thrillers and horror/thrillers.
