I agree Modest, Stephen King is fantastic writer. I have read many books of him. Also, i have seen almost all the movies based in stories of Stephen King. For me he is the no1.
I don't know for you, but i like very much: A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.(Book and movies and cartoons). Also, i have seen many movies based on books of H.P. Lovecraft(Howard Phillips Lovecraft), but I have never read a book of him.

@ karras.Stephen King is a fantastic writer.I have read almost all of his books.Some people say,that he only writes trivial literature,but that is not true.He has proved many times,that he belongs to the top.
The books of Charles Dickens are a pleasure to read.His thoughts about humanity and fairness are timeless. Another great english author is William Makepeace Thackeray.His famous novel 'Vanity Fair' is worth reading.More than 160 years old but still current. |

1984 - George Orwell
This was a book that impressed me, maybe I was too young when I read it. In it, Orwell presents a future in which a totalitarian dictatorship interfere so much in the private lives of citizens who can not escape his control. [hidden image - please register] |

@ Galahad
Yes, Ruiz Zafón is a well known writer and many awards here in Spain. Interestingly, he also has another side that is closest to me for my profession; he is a musician and composer. do you know that he composed a suite based on The Shade of the Wind? |

Unfortunately both Mortadelo y Filemòn and Storm are out of print in Italy.
  A very good novel i would like to recommend to anyone is The Shadow of the Wind (La Sombra Del Viento) by Spanish writer Carlos Ruiz Zafón, maybe kyke knows it well. The time is the 1950s; the place, Barcelona. Daniel Sempere, the son of a widowed bookstore owner, is 10 when he discovers a novel, The Shadow of the Wind, by Julián Carax. The novel is rare, the author obscure, and rumors tell of a horribly disfigured man who has been burning every copy he can find of Carax's novels. The man calls himself Laín Coubert-the name of the devil in one of Carax's novels. As he grows up, Daniel's fascination with the mysterious Carax links him to a blind femme fatale with a "porcelain gaze," Clara Barceló; another fan, a leftist jack-of-all-trades, Fermín Romero de Torres; his best friend's sister, the delectable Beatriz Aguilar; and, as he begins investigating the life and death of Carax, a cast of characters with secrets to hide. Officially, Carax's dead body was dumped in an alley in 1936. But discrepancies in this story surface. Meanwhile, Daniel and Fermín are being harried by a sadistic policeman, Carax's childhood friend. As Daniel's quest continues, frightening parallels between his own life and Carax's begin to emerge.
