Bag of bones by Stephen King,I'm like halfway in the book and I still don't like it.
I like any WH40k books by Dan Abnett. I also like the Dune series and the Saga of the Seven suns books.
I love the Discworld series. Lots of people do.
The book series "A Song of Ice and Fire"by George R.R. Martin is a damn good read. You should get them.
this is probably my favourite book ever

though to be honest i tend to read more history books about things for fun.
most of the reading i do is more chemistry books, journals etc.
Twilight. You can really see the effort that goes into the book.

1984, Brave New World, Animal Farm plus Chris Ryan and Andy McNabs' novels as far as fiction goes. Otherwise it's all non-fiction, mainly 20th Century history and aviation books.

This too, and a couple of Stephen King novels
I like the Sven Hassel books, they're about a guy living in Denmark, he has no job so he decides to go join the German army during World War 2.
Turns out it's not that great, he quickly decides to desert and obviously he gets caught, he's placed in a regiment for criminals after several months in jail, and they wage war in Russia, Italy, France and so on, not North Africa though.
Ranger's Apprentice 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8.
Really good.
I really like the Bible. Never have I seen a book filled with so much action, betrayal, suffering and offerings.

Its basically a bunch of mexicans with some kind of zombie disease invade America looking for bread and the main character can sense when somebody is infected and completely mutilates them. there are also some raunchy sex scenes. I think Facepunch would love this book
and
Of Mice and Men
it was just so good.
I read often, mostly on the computer because here finding ANY book is a pain in the ass.
Here are some of my favorite (In no particular order):

I only read sci-fi :colbert:
For some reason, I never really liked fantasy, or slice of life or anything, but war books are p. cool.
I read all the time, mostly fiction related things. Hard to say if I have a favorite book (preferring to classify favorites as my favorite series instead) but if I had to pick from something that isn't part of a series it would be:
