My favorite author hasn't gotten a nod yet, so I will take it upon myself. Marquez. 100 Years of Solitude is amazing! Love in the Time of Cholera is shorter, but Solitude is better.
I've attempted Ullysses a few times but always lose my momentum somewhere around halfway... I really liked The Portait of an Artist... and Dubliners, though.
Faulkner is awesome. A Light in August is my favorite. I really admire how all of Faulkner's works are inter-related. That's hard to do, even more difficult considering he did it without a computer and kept all those families straight.
Lately, I've been reading a lot of "fluff" as opposed to serious literature, ie. Song of Ice and Fire series, sad part is I've ruined the next season for myself.
