Default What's the Most Enjoyable Book You've Ever Read?

I know that books aren't as exciting as kick-ass movies or video games or crap like that. But nothing beats a good book once in awhile.

My favorite book has to be Dark Tower VII by Stephen King, that book was awesome just like the series. I'm waiting for the 3rd Eragon book to come out, that series is great.

Some others are It, Salem's Lot, and The Stand, all by Stephen King. I heard that the Wheel of Time is really good but haven't read it myself. Harry Potter I liked but it was pretty overrated. After reading through the whole series I realized I just read to find out what happened to Voldemort and I didn't really enjoy the journey there.

So let's hear some of your guys's favorite books.
