To me, if it's Stephen King, I can't say I like a specific one, I read all of them at least twice. I personally think the man is a genius.
Other than that, a pretty good book I've read was Ender's Game, but I can't recall the author.
And well, if you guys want to read Japanese books ( and I am not talking anime here) I would recommend Koinrokkā Beibīzu (Coin Locker's Babys ) and Kagirinaku tōmei ni chikai burū ( Almost transparent Blue) by Ryu Murikami. Oh and also Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto is a pretty funny book
