Gravitys Rainbow
Mason and Dixon
Snopes Triology (yeah it's 3 books but still)
Light in August

[SCdac]

i don't have a top-5 but I'll say The Road and 1984 are up there for me. Read more non fiction than fiction

1984 is dope. What sort of non-fiction are you into?

Lord of the Rings trilogy
Catcher in the Rye

[24-Inch_Chrome]

Ender's Game
It
Lamb
LOTR trilogy+appendices

Having trouble picking a 5th, I've read too many books to easily pick a top-5. Those listed were what I came up with off of the top of my head.

Other novels/series that could make a push into my top-5:

GoT novels
The Dark Tower
Anything in the Ender's universe by Orson Scott Card
Wheel of Time
Sword of Truth series
Discworld novels
Dragonlance (incredibly broad series, I haven't read anything recent but in total I probably own 20-30 of the books)

Probably still forgetting something. :oldlol:

What's a novel?

[senelcoolidge]

I like the one with lots of colorful pictures.
There was one with pictures of animals.
The one with shapes..circles, squares.

For years I barely read fiction, but recently I've been getting back into it. I recently ordered the first 3 books of the Dune series, which I heard is a very good series. Much of the fiction I've been reading have not been novels. More like short stories and collections of said authors works.
