What are your favorite novels?

My favourite book of all times is The Illiad by Homer. That book is basically the ancestor of every story ever written. It has everything in it: tragedy, action, adventure, comedy, poetry, romance, drama. Achilles is also my favourite character of all times. And I love the opening line, as translated by E.V. Rieu (my favourite translation): "Anger - Sing, goddess, the anger of Achilles son of Peleus, that accursed anger that brought the Greeks endless sufferings and sent the mighty souls of many warriors to Hades" To me that's the single most beautiful line ever written.
A very close second is George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four. That book put into words for me things that I had thought but had been left unable to define. I particularly love the whole theme around the relationship between language and thought.
