Wahh, why's it gotta be my favourite one? Can I give a top 5 in no particular order? Ok, and restricting to fiction only I'll do non-fic later
Mother Night - Kurt Vonnegut
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep - Phillip K Dick (can this count as 1/3 of a book as it's not a novel?)
The Wasp Factory - Ian Banks
Strata - Terry Pratchett
Day of the Triffids - John Wyndham
Wahhh, Can it be a top 10?
ok, i'll just add A Scanner Darkly and be done...
Ok actually, I will pick a favourite; Mother Night, a totaly brilliant book, written as the autobiography of a nazi who wasn't a nazi, but also was a nazi. The book stands on it's truely brilliant creation on a confused and bizarre, but ultimately believable and relate-able character in an even more confused and bizarre world.
Ultimately I like scifi novels the best, I've never been one for classics or character/narrative driven books, I like concept driven books best, and sci fi delivers on that (by that I mean proper scifi though, not some space opera drivel, Dune fans, i'm ripping on you here...) , not that I don't like good narrative driven books, I just like it better when a book is less a story, and more a trojan horse for some unnatural thought process.
