For lack of a better title, The Book Thread!
TheKithless:
I've just finished American Gods, and was very impressed. Neil Gaiman is now on my list of favorite authors.
That list also includes:
Robert A. Heinlein (almost anything he writes is gold, but Starship Troopers is certainly one of my favorites)
Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman (Dragonlance was good, but The Deathgate Cycle was better)
Stephen R. Donaldson (The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, the Unbeliever are awesome)
Robert R. McCammon (Swan Song and Boy's Life specifically)
J.R.R. Tolkien
Susan Cooper (The Dark is Rising series rivals Tolkien's work in its use of mythology and legend)

The Wooden Bird - Jerzy Kosinski

I agree with most of the things you said in that post, specially Ellis. But do you perchance mean the painted bird? Because that was a fucking brilliant, although slightly shattering, book. If the wooden bird is something else, tell me what it's about, I am a big fan of kosinski.

Yup, I feel a tad silly now, I meant the Painted Bird. I get them mixed up *blushes in embarassment*. I read it a good three or four years ago, so I can never remember the actual name of the book. The only thing that is really clear about it is the fact that said book scarred me for life.
I knew you like Ellis right when I saw your name, haha! And the line from Rules Of Attraction at the bottom of your posts helps too ;)
Sythe:
William Gibson - Neuromancer
He writes some good stuff besides Neuromancer, but thats his most popular book. (some people think he's crap, but programs that hack people are AWESOME)
relativetruth:
anything by raymond e. feist.
and the book "the perks of being a wallflower"
Maui:
