Moby Dick. Nothing has come close to it for me. I love the idea of solitude out on the open sea, as well as the in depth reflections Melville sporadically presents. I've also had the chance to catch up on a lot of the history since moving to the Boston area-very cool stuff!
Edit: Also, thanks for the chance at the giveaway!

I'm going with The Millenium Trilogy. Haven't read anything but work books in months, and these 3 were great reads.
Thanks
