Lord of the Rings is a series of books, not one book , even though it was written as one. If there are three different titles and three different covers then they cannot count! I DEMAND THEY BE STRICKEN FROM THE LIST!
Lord of the Rings.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - a striking, violent criticism of modern society and one of the most powerful novels ever written.
Versus Lord of the Rings, a convoluted mess of plotlines and high-fantasy nonsense that were made into an equally convoluted (though far more entertaining) series of films. I think you know my vote.

Lord of the Rings.
Truly magical. Return- you have no soul. Sorry to vote against home town boy though. Had the distinct pleasure to meet Kesey a few times.

Vote House of Leaves!
Darker, scarier, and more complex than those other two books (one of which is not really a book, but a series, so that shouldn't even count! :p ). House of Leaves is your own claustrophobic journey! For those of you unfamiliar with the story and concept: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Leaves
