Good thread topic. I agree on "The Stand" by Stephen King, I'm not a huge King fan but it is a very good book. I just finished "A game of thrones" by George R.R. Martin, I never really got into that genre but I was very impressed with it and will read the rest of the series. All of the old classics are always fun to read: Kafka, Tolstoy, Steinbeck etc. etc. The novels and poetry by the "Beat" generation, Kerouac, Ginsberg, Burroughs, and can't forget Thomas Wolfe or Tom wolfe. I also agree that Chuck Palahniuk is good if youre in a twisted mood, and Haruki Murakami is very good. The two I'm suprised I didn't see on here, for current authors, are Tom Robbins and David Foster Wallace, both are amazing writers.

If you like science fiction/fantasy, you need to read R.A. Salvatore. He is a great author. My favorites are the Dark Elf Trilogy. I've read all the dark elf books though and they are great.
Have you read his latest books about Artemis Entreri and Jarlaxle? Excellent as are his new drow elf books, spider queen war and thousand orcs trilogy. An excellent author. I own all of his.
I also like his Star wars novel.

Of course any book that can be classified under fiction or non-fiction depending on the store propitiour has an advantage.
