Favorite novels...

Y'all:

With X-mas coming up, I thought it might be nice to list some of your all-time favorite novels ever. Who knows? A list may contain a great gift idea.

So, to kick off, here are mine:

* Speculative fiction (whatever that is): The War of the End of the World - Mario Vargas Llosa (Possibly the greatest novel ever written.)
* Sci-fi: Demon Princes - Jack Vance
* Horror: 11/22/63 - Stephen King
* Police procedural: Neon Rain - James Lee Burke
* Historical fiction: The Lenny Budd novels - Upton Sinclair
* Fantasy: The Majipoor Cycle - Robert Silverberg
