BOTM: S.S. Tepper, The Gate to Woman's country
M. Bulgakov, A dog's heart
W. Gibson, Neuromancer
W. Gibson, Neuromancer
T. Pratchett & N. Gaiman, Good Omens*
P.G. Wodehouse, Sam the sudden
I liked a lot of these, though none were absolutely stellar. Booker was terrible, after about page 250 (there were a lot more). I was tempted to put Good Omens at the top, but I have read it enough times before such than many of the great jokes were remembered as much as read. I almost put Gibson at the top for the reverse reason, namely I've never read it, but it now feels very familiar - it's famously a book that launched a subgenre - but it does feel dated now. So, with these caveats, my favourite was Tepper's feminist envisioning of a post-apocalyptic world. and I can't really believe I'm writing that.
