It's not one book. It's 4. Individually they're pretty great, but altogether they're awesome. Hungry City Chronicles.

I've always been a huge fan of "Last Exit To Brooklyn" by Hubert Selby Jr. Even if it is a tad dated these days.

I would suggest Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. Can not really choose any particular book as my favorite though.

For me, its a dutch book, its called: "de ontdekking van de hemel" and is written by Harry Mullisch.

In english this book is called "The discovery of heaven". Its a fantastic masterpiece.

There is so many good books I have read to recommend just one. I would recommend anything by Harlan Ellison, especially his short story collections. The Jack Ryan series of books from Tom Clancy are all great. I especially enjoyed Red Storm Rising, The Hunt for Red October, Rainbow Six, and The Bear and the Dragon. If you're interested in a real vampire story then I would recommend the Necromancer series by Brian Lumley.

The Giver is a classic. I recommend everyone read it. Especially those who enjoy thoughtful stories of utopian society.

The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. It's a page-turner for sure. Great book.
