Here's the catch, you're only allowed to pick five. Feel free to change or alter your list after. Note, it's your favorite books, not your "best ever books" list...

Rules:
1. Trilogy's are OK as a book, but not series. Ie, Lord of the Rings is OK but I can't say "The Discworld Series".
2. Likewise, you can't say "anything by such-and-such"

Me first, I really had to think about this. In no particular order:
Catch 22 - Heller
100 Years Of Solitude - Marquez
Kim - Kipling
The Richest Man in Babylon - Casson
The Lord Of The Rings - Tolkien

Very hard.

Welcome to the Monkey House (Vonnegut)
Sprawl Trilogy (Gibson)
The Double (Dostoevsky)
The Crying of Lot 49 (Pynchon)
The Nova Trilogy (Burroughs)

As you can see I'm aiming for series/collections, and I wish I had space for more Russians...

Me too... In the end I went for the books that I can pick up at any time, and start reading from any point again and again

The secret diary of adrian mole.
blood music - bear
foundation (the first 3 from the 50s are consider to be a trilogy, the ones fromt he 80s an extended series (wiki) ) - asimov
rama - clarke
neuromancer - gibson

The secret diary of adrian mole.
Foundation

I love the first one and Foundation almost made my list. Nice

Well you assume that we all have read 5 books.  Not that I don't like reading, it's just that between using my computer, playing videogames, and trying to catch up on all my DVR recorded shows, books are really hard for me to pick up.  The times that I've been deprived of my normal entertainment, I have been known to pick up a few.  So don't assume that I think the following list (at least the bottom of it) of books are amazingly awesome, some might just be 7 or 8 out of 10's if I rated them due to my extremely limited library that I've actually read the full way through.

1.  A Clockwork Orange
2.  Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
3.  Siddhartha
4.  Pet Sematary
5.  The Hellbound Heart

Mr Bump - Roger Hargreaves
Mr Tickle  - Roger Hargreaves
Mr Strong  - Roger Hargreaves
Mr Messy  - Roger Hargreaves
Lady Chatterleys Lover - D.H. Lawrence

Truly you are a man of words.... with pictures!

Hahaha! Nice!

Off the top of my head...

-Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
-To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
-A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson
-Skin Tight, Native Tongue, Tourist Season, Double Whammy, Sick Puppy, and Skinny Dip by Carl Hiaasen

Yes, I cheated. Fuck it. It's a slightly more interesting list than it would've been with just 5 Hiaasens.

Brave New World - Aldous Huxley
The Wanting Seed - Anthony Burgess
Lord of the Rings - J.R.R. Tolkien
Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said - Philip K. Dick
The Kingdom of God is Within You - Leo Tolstoy

the guards / jack taylor series - ken bruen (did i break a rule?)
shoeless joe - ray kinsella

can my last be a play? observe the sons of ulster as they marching towards the somme - frank mcguinness

i'm probably completley way off.  i'm drinking bushmills and it's after midnight and i didn't even eat dinner until 11.30 too much work lately!

1.  A Clockwork Orange

Nope.  Only a very few words I had to look up because I couldn't come to a conclusion of what they meant.

Sprawl series - Gibson
Cosmos - Sagan
