For me:
#1 is The Forever War- Joe Haldeman (hands down THE most amazing book I ever did read, and to this day I cannot conjure a reason as to HOW this ain't been made into a movie yet!)
Then (in no particular order):
Firestarter- Steven King
Moonraker, On Her Majesty's Secret Service- Ian Fleming
The Spy Who Loved Me- Christopher Wood
Bid Time Return, I Am Legend, Hell House- Richard Matheson
So literary peeps, list yours if you will.
