David Eddings
The Belgariad and The Mallorean cycles
Remember when I first read it at16, didn't come down for three weeks, everything in my life faded in the background, I was living in the book, best feeling ever

Shibumi
Shogun
Taipan

If you never got around to reading Jurassic Park, you should. There's a surprising amount of real science and the image of the wet jungles is like a mental vacation from my constant anxiety.

I felt like that only when I read fantasy and sci-fi books when I was a young lad. I could spend whole night reading, and I would read whenever I could, the events in the book would be much more interesting and important than real life events. Every time after finishing a book I would feel really sad, and I would miss the characters.

But honestly I think that it was rather because I was a child, and not because those books that I was reading were good. I think that books that have interesting, gripping story and leave enough for imagination are good for such reading. But again, I felt it that strong only back in my childhood, while reading fantasy, historical fiction or sci-fi.
