I don't reckon MessenJah asked 'What are your favourite books'. I get a bit bored with long things sometimes, especially if you don't have a lot of time to get immersed in books, so +1 to the short stories: I just polished off an anthology of HG Wells shorts that were very good (well, some weren't, but no loss, they were short!)
But maybe he or she was asking for good tips. In which case, Messenjah, try buying Granta sometime. Its a quarterly magazine (actually looks like a normal novel-sized book) of 'new writing' and its a really amazing thing. They're on issue 101 or 102 I think, so its been going a wee while. I wholeheartedly recommend it. Fiction and non-, journalism and travel writing, photos, always something excellent in there, often every single thing in there is excellent. Second hand old ones are worth picking up as well as the current ones. Every half-decent bookshop sells it.
