    My choice(s): Stephen King's The Dark Tower series. Right up to the last page!

    Glad to have some readers here.

    Should I open this thread up to non-fiction as well?

    I might go 'seperate thread' on that - I think that might be a wilder list!

    Ive only read the first book so I cant really comment. The problem is that everything these days tries to emulate Harry freakin Potter.

    Pillars of the Earth is my favorite of his. I got really emotionally invested in the characters.

    It will probably never get finished either.

    I think I got like 4 books into that series and then stopped waiting for him to finish the freaking series FIVE YEARS AGO. It really is ludicrous.

    One of the other fantasy/scifi authors I like, David Weber, pumps out 2-3 books a year in multiple series.

    George RR Martin must be a lazy bastard. At this point if he decided to finally finish the next book I would need to read all the previous books again just to remember basic plot points.

    A number of my favorites have already been posted (Without Remorse, Starship Troopers, etc) but another great one is The Sea Wolf by Jack London and also The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho.
