I have read, from your list, 1984 and Of Mice and Men, both were excellent. I also heard that Money from Martin Amis is very godd, as are all his books. Another classic that cannot be missed is The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde.

Definitely LOTR and some of Stephen King's books. I do have some problems lately with Palahniuk's Survivor, but that must be me. And of course, Dan Brown, with the amazingly bad 'Het Bernini Mistery', I think it was Devils and Deamons or sth like that in English.

Up to now, it must be about 100 (i am 31), but it should definitely double or triple. And I don't often read more books from the same authr, except Irving, Barker, Mankell and Fossum.

I have a few books which I can't really order. So, in no particular order, here are the books that stick with me a very long time:
-The secret history - Donna Tartt
-The House of leaves - Mark Z. Danielewski
-Revolutionary Road - Richard Yates
-Perfume - Patrick Suskind
-Books of Blood -...
I am currently reading Survivor from Chuck Palahniuk. Being a Belgian, it's a little bit too hard to grasp all the ideas and twists in the book. And twisted it definitely is. It is a very sge style of writing, maybe a little bit comparable to Brett Easton Ellis, but still even weirder. Don't...
Nice thread ! I can definitely agree with those who talked about The House of Leaves and Into Thin Air, both books are way beyond competition with anything else I have read, both in my top 5 ever, together with The Secret History, Revolutionary Road and Perfume.
However, the most horryfying...
No problem with long books...here's what I read in fat !
Discovery of Heaven - 1000 p
Son of the circus - 956 p
Owen Meany - 980 p
AllClive Barkers - 600 p
...

I didn't finish The Stand from Stephen King, even after 697 pages, yep, I know, and I also couldn't finish Cryptonomicon from Neal Stephenson. Oh, and off course, LOTR !
