My favorite author growing up was Ray Bradbury. The Martian Chronicles was my first favorite book, and I read The Illustrated Man probably 10 times.
My current favorite book is probably (the English translation of) If on a winter's night a traveler... by Italo Calvino, followed closely by Nabokov's Lolita and Pale Fire.
I finished Orwell's 1984 last week, and I *just* - no less than ten minutes ago - finished Arthur Koestler's Darkness at Noon. You know, I preferred the latter (which was written it think 8 or 9 years before 1984, and which Orwell was well aware of). 1984 is more of a story, and is a fantastic one, but Darkness at Noon is unadulterated contemplation of the very same themes.
