I agree
That Pratchett takes teh win.

Also winnable are the Dirk Gently books by Douglas Adams, and of course the HHG series but I'm assuming anyone who is into such things will have read them many times already.

The Five People You Meet In Heaven is a great book, I read it in one sitting and cried, and then read it again.

Am currently struggling through Titus Groan. I read Ghormenghast years ago and suddenly had the urge to read the rest of the trilogy. I like it but I always read it when I am falling asleep, and it's not the best book for that.

Ooh and Gabriel Garcia Marquez! Got a ten book boxset ages ago and forgot about it, remembered about it and read the first book thinking "well... this is a fucking strange book"... And devoured the rest thinking the same thing for each book. His writing is fairly indescribable (although the millions of review excerpts on the covers do a compelling job of it) but absolutely addictive.
