[Crig the Slig]

-The Night's Dawn Trilogy, by Peter F. Hamilton: A thousand million pages of sheer epic greatness. Seriously though, those books are huge (physically and spiritually).
-The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
-Dracula.
-Animal Farm.
And, when I'm feeling poor and depressed, the Argos Catalogue: "...so many beautiful things...I cannot possess them all..." -Bill Bailey

EDIT: Day of the Triffids, that book really got me thinking...

ALSO EDIT: The War of the Worlds
