Which novel do you like best?

Thanks epic. I'm going to read over this list tonight and pick out the ones that interest me. Winter is coming and I need me a good book to cozy up to next to the fireplace.

Also, any sci-fi books that an 8 year old boy would be interested in? My son doesn't like Harry Potter at all (I think I influenced him too much in that regard).
He doesn't by any chance read Norwegian fluently? If so I can recommend Jon Bing's The Chronicles of the Starship Alexandria series. :)

(I have no idea if these books are translated to English, but the first book is called Azur: Kapteinenes planet (lit.trans.: Azur: planet of the captains or the captains' planet) and it is marvelous for children and young people.)

Edit: Hah, apparently they were translated.

I read the Alexandria books when I was 9 or something and it was probably the books that got me hooked on scifi.
 
BUMP

"American Psycho" by Bret Easton Ellis

I just finished this, and it's easily one of the most entertaining books I've ever read, if not my new favorite. Bateman is a complete lunatic! It's hilarious and horrifying at the same time.
 
It's hard to find a best book...


A Song of Ice and Fire series - George R.R. Martin
Dune series - Frank Herbert
Hyperion (specially the first 2) - Dan Simmons
Malazan Book of the Fallen series - Steven Erikson
Lord of Light - Roger Zelazny
The Vampire Lestat - Anne Rice
A Hundred Years of Solitude - Gabriel Garcia Marquez
The Physician - Noah Gordon
Harry Potter (yes, specially the last one, which is incredible) - J.K. Rowling
The Farseer Trilogy (and later ones) - Robin Hobb
Robots of Dawn - Isaac Azimov

I could go on...
