Exodus ranks high among my favorites also...as does the author. I've read almost every book Leon Uris had published. When I find an author I like I tend to read as many of their works as possible. Michener is up there on my favorite author list, as is Tom Clancy and Dean Koontz. Very few Koontz novels have I missed - with Watchers and Lightning among those I've read numerous times.

My favorite is a series of sci-fi books; Dune, Dune Messiah, Children of Dune, God Emperor of Dune, Heretics of Dune, and Chapterhouse: Dune. I only consider these series of books to be canon, Frank Herbert.
