A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin
It's a fantasy series that rivals Lord of the Rings...but it's more feudal medieval than Lord of the Rings. It's the first book in his series, A Song of Ice and Fire

I will give that a big second everyone I have recommended that series to falls in love with it even people who don't read fantasy.

Also I recommend House of Leaves by Mark L. Danielewski its a brilliantly written book very dark and eery.

Cosmic Trigger by Robert Anton Wilson one of the most influential and heart touching books I have ever read. I would suggest anything by RAW but Cosmic Trigger and the Iluminatus Trilogy are his best works although Iluminatus is fiction but it is a must read for everyone.

You should definitely check out anything by Hunter S. Thompson. Very entertaining and witty. Also, Tom Robbins is very good, especially Skinny Legs and All. Christopher Moore is another good author. Many good ones out there.

Try Marching Powder by Rusty Young. I guarantee you will not be able to put it down.Also, Bill Hicks, Agent Of Evolution, is a pretty good read. :thumbup:

Really, anything by Tom Robbins is the best thing you can read ever.
