Ever? That's a tough one. One Hundred Years of Solitude is up there for me. Why? Just the style, the actual story, the elements of fantasy sprinkled on top of reality, the way the story comes full circle, etc.

The Lord of the Rings and entirely because of the impact it had on my 10-year old brain. That book made me a reader for life.

I'm reading The Two Towers for the first time after finishing FotR and The Hobbit recently. Not bad.

A Confederacy of Dunces
Several reasons I love this book: the setting of New Orleans in the late 60s, the absolutely absurd, pathetic, yet hilarious and ultimately heroic main character, and the circumstances surrounding the author's tragic life and the journey his manuscript went through before being published and winning the Pulitzer.

Not sure of my over all best. At the moment my favourites probably the jeeves and wooster novels, take your pick as to which volume they are all excellent and Wodehouse is a genius.
A few others I liked a lot were brave new world, a clockwork orange, dune, world war z and hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.
Best basketball book I've read is play their hearts out.
