What books do you really enjoy and feel deserve a place amongst the best literature ever written(Or simply a place in your heart)?

I don't read much, but I have been working my way through Crime and Punishment recently. It is a complex book, but quite unique and thought provoking. I enjoyed it quite very so!

I thought Crime and Punishment was brilliant... but I'm not sure that I actually enjoyed the experience of reading it.

Some books I love, no particular order or anything:

The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas
Watership Down by Richard Adams
Tess of the d'Ubervilles by Thomas Hardy
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo
Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse
The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis
The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand
1984 by George Orwell
The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkein
Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry
The Illuminatus! Trilogy by Shea and Wilson

1984.

And any of Terry Prachett's work. Favourites: Night Watch, Witches Abroad, Hogfather...

Lord of the Rings... well it wasn't particularly well-written or gripping, but it defined the fantasy genre. The concepts he put together are recycled in every "medieval" fantasy game, book or film since. And it also defined the word "epic".
