This is difficult but I'd have to say...
The Road by Cormac McCarthy
Doctor Zhivago by Boris Pasternak
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
And because I can’t think of anything else, I’ll have to say: Atonement by Ian McEwan

Re: Your five favourite books?
I don't know about favorite, but some books I have enjoyed very much are the following (in no particular order):
1) Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts
2) In the Company of the Courtesan by Sarah Dunant (historical fiction)
3) High Tide in Tucson by Barbara Kingsolver (non-fiction, a book of essays)
4) Eve: A Biography by Pamela Norris (Women's studies)
Shantaram is over 900 pages long I believe, but a real page-turner! I recommend it to everyone.

Re: Your five favourite books?
I did the same, just chosen the first five to come to mind. These books have stayed on my mind, or at least the titles have, for various reasons.but since these 5 came to mind, they must have had an impact that remained with me.
