One of the previous posts mentioned that it changes for them frequently, and I'm pretty much the same way. But for right now:

Fiction: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Non-Fiction: Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

To be clear, both are fiction, it’s just that one is fantasy and the other is set in modern reality.

Hmmm I don’t believe so? Zen is at least portrayed in its conclusion as a true, autobiographical story (with obviously dollops of philosophical musings).

It is a fictionalised autobiography.

I'm sure you meant, both are non-fiction.

Probably one of the few books (the series that is) I could read on repeat and still laugh out loud from.

I agree it's one of the best books out there.
