'The Stranger' and the 'Plague' by Albert Camus. Camus is masterful at creating complex troubled characters and their interactions in an existentialist style.

The Plague "Although Camus's approach in the book is severe, his narrator emphasizes the ideas that we ultimately have no control, irrationality of life is inevitable, and he further illustrates the human reaction towards the ‘absurd’. The Plague represents how the world deals with the philosophical notion of the Absurd, a theory which Camus himself helped to define." wikipedia

As many here have pointed out, choosing just one book is very difficult…The Sirens of Titan, Ishmael, Brave New World, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, The Naked Ape, and Demian are at the top of my list along with the Hannibal Lectar series and most of Stephen King’s work.

However, seeing as I must choose only one, I will go with Fahrenheit 451. It is the only book I have ever read twice and enjoyed both times. Not only is it incredibly relevant to today’s modern impatient, media-addicted culture, but it is also packed with sci-fi action and murderous mechanical hounds.
