Then call me a nutcase too. Those are some of my favourites too.
I don't mind being a nutcase, helps me get through the day.

Anything by William Gibson. His new book, "Pattern Recognition", really whips the cheetah's ass.

One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich
by Alexander Solzhenitsyn.

This book provides a remarkable glimpse of life in a russian work camp - and it is surprisingly uplifting and positive. The story still lives with me 10 years after having read it.

Perfume by Patrick Suskind
I am not what I would describe as a "reader" but Perfume was the one book that did it for me...the only book in my life which I read in one sitting (over night as it happens) impossible to put down.
How come it is not on everyones list?
How come I have not heard it mentioned in the survey so far?
Is my judgement about its qualities faulty?
