Over on his blog Rory asks what peoples favorite book of all time is, I started to leave this as a comment but then I realized it was getting too long and I should post it over here. Rory is a fellow Vonnegut fan, so I figured he might like some of the same books I have liked, so here goes:
My favorite fiction books of all time(In no particular order)
Catch-22 (Heller)
1984 (Orwell)
Brave New World (Huxley)
Survivor (Palahnuik) (all of his really)
On the Road (Kerouac)
Cat's Cradle and Slaughterhouse-Five (Vonnegut) (all of his also)
The Great Gatsby (Fitzgerald)
Siddhartha (Hesse) (Steppenwolf is good too)
I also really liked Trainspotting (Irvine), anything by H.P. Lovecraft or Poe, most of Nick Hornby's books, The Color Purple (Walker), Almanac of the Dead (Silko), All Quiet on the Western Front (Remarque), Vernon God Little (Pierre).... well that is all I can think of right now.
(I know the question was what is your single favorite, but that was just too hard)
