Books (novels, poetry, plays...)

So, what are your favourite books? What kind of literature do you like?

I couldn't pick only one, but if I had to, I would go for Mikhail Bulgakov's The Master and Margarita. It's one of the greatest novels of 20th century, satire based on Satan's visit to mostly atheistic Soviet Russia. It also deals with some existential problems (destiny of artists in bureaucratic society). It's a really tough, but also a fun novel. It's kinda tragicomic.

Virginia Woolf's "The Waves" is also among my favourites (and most of Woolf's other works - her stream-of-consciousness artistic technique is REALLY exceptional).

I have affinity to philosophy of absurd: Camus, Kafka, Beckett; and also love Dostoevsky and Goethe.
And oh, this would be nothing without mentioning Baudelaire and Shakespeare. 

P.S. I am relatively new here, and I'm sorry if this topic already exists, I didn't see it.

I love more than anything young and children books like Coraline, La Mechanique du Coeur, Artemis Fowl, and books of Roald Dahl like Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the BFG and The Witches.

I also read some classical ones like Jane Eyre, The Time Machine, Call of the Wild, and The Color Purple.
