As if anyone needed it – the guardian has posted a poll designed to uncover the top 20 geek novels, and as of now I’ve read 18 of the top 20, I’m missing only Consider Phlebas by Iain M. Banks and Trouble With Lichen by John Wyndham. I just read my first Banks novel earlier this year, The Player of Games, and really enjoyed it, so I’m adding Phlebas to my wishlist. I’d never heard of Trouble with Lichen before and Amazon doesn’t seem to have much info on it.

In terms of which of those top 20 books I’d name as my personal favorite, I’d have to go with:

Dune

Though it’s a pretty tough call – Neuromancer, Snow Crash, Watchmen and Cryptonomicon are all killer books that I really enjoyed.
