   No clue... But I just finished reading The Rum Diary by Hunter S Thompson, and I really liked it.

   That's a difficult one, because I've read so many books. But one that's always stuck in my mind is 'The unbearable lightness of being' - Milan Kundera.

   By far, even though it's really 7 books, The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. If you can get past his over-descriptiveness and repeating himself, it's a fantastic group of books. An epic tale of the Gunslinger, the Man in Black, and the people they meet and kill along away.

      My husband is just finishing the last one of the Dark Tower series and he really enjoyed it. I just finished reading Lisey's Story by King and loved every page.

      I'll second that emotion--actually, both of them, but the Dark Tower series is fantastic.

   "No shortcuts to the top" - Ed Viesturs's adventures are a good reading.

   I'd second "Into thin air" too.

       My favorite Vonnegut book is The Sirens of Titan followed by Galapogos, but Breakfast of Champions comes in third.

    My all-time favorite is A Canticle for Leibowitz. Apparently you can read the first fifty pages on Google Books. books.google.com/books?id=k53eZ2ARZPwC&dq=canticle+for+liebowitz&printsec=f...

    I don't read very many books any more. I spend more time on the internet (especially science blogs) than I do reading printed media.
    
    However, in terms of ebooks, one spectacular philosophical book-- very deistic in nature-- was God's Debris by Scott Adams (the guy who does Dilbert). I didn't bother with the sequel, and probably never will, because God's Debris seems standalone to me.
