Favourite Books

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but I was just wondering if anyone has a particular favourite book or books that they really enjoyed

I have two:
To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee
The Colour Purple - Alice Walker

To chill out and have chuckle to I lift a one of my battered Bill Bryson books

I'm always after a good read (as well as weed) so please share your thoughts...

Right now, I've been plodding through Kingdom of Fear, by Hunter S. Thompson.

codejd, surprised they never turned that into a movie.
Fun book, and quite unlike alot of his other stuff.
I finnished " Under The Dome " by him last week, was pretty good, but not up there with The Stand or The Talisman.

I seem to have identified quite a few comedians with this thread!

Mine was actually a serious choice this time, ya didn't say it had to be a novel. I'm very proud of my mint condition copy of Fungus.
