Does anybody here have a favorite fiction novel?

I can't decide between The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Heinlein or Blood Meridian by McCarthy as my favorite fiction.

I just picked up "shooter" no, not the movie. by Jack Coughlin
and Casey Kuhlman. It is an autobiography of marine sniper jack coughlin.

An excelent book about his trip to downtown Bagdad and other places as well. He was there when they pulled down that statue of Saddam.

I love his unconventional thinking and how hard it is to introduce a new way of doing things in the military. "mobile sniper teams" who would have thought?

Oops, Just realized this thread is about fiction !!

All-time favorite: The Spy Who Came In From The Cold, Jon LeCarre.

Followed by Lie Down With Lions by Ken Follett.

Tinker, tailor, soldier, spy was good too, but all in all, John LeCarre is an american hating piece of crap.

Starship Troopers - you can't compare the book to the movie. They are completely different.
Gates of Fire and Killing Rommel are great as well.
Stephen Hunter books with Bob Lee Swagger - some of the best mystery with technically accurate firearm descriptions/use.

The Casca series by Barry Sadler.

I enjoyed the first few books, but they went downhill fast. By "Casca: the Cursed" they were utter rubbish.

The Lincoln Lawyer by Michael Connelly
The Brass verdict by Michael Connelly
The Reversal by Michael Connelly

I am very much looking forward to the 4th book of this series, The Fifth Witness coming in early April.

For the Harry Bosh fans he make an appearance in the Brass Verdict and is a big part of The Reversal.

The books are about a criminal defense attorney in L.A. named Mickey Haller.

The books are a series and need to be read in order.

I hadn't read a fiction book in the better part of a decade until I got one this past Christmas.

A Game of Thrones is excellent.

Oh yes! I love that series! It's going to be a show soon.

ALWAYS liked Robert B. Parker's "Spenser" novels. The TV show came out when I started college - it got me to reading the books.
