I'd have to say my favorite book of all times right now would have to be "Tsunami Blue" by Gayle Ann Williams. She puts an inside-out torn world in such a realistic and beautiful perspective, and she throws in some nutty characters, with clever twists. This combination is the perfect masterpiece and it's just her debut book. I can't stop reading it and I'm glued to every page.

I LOVEEEE The mysterious case of Dr.Jekyll & Mr.Hyde. <3

I have several different favorites. :D

First, I have The Guardians of Ga'Hoole, so it's not so much a book as an entire series. They have completely epic, heart-warming language and I adore the characters. You get to know the real essence of a character, even if they only appear for a short time. Also, they surpass the typical expectations people may have for children's novels; they explore some very deep truths and are extremely thought-provoking.

The second favorite is The Tale of Despereaux. I'm a sucker for stories about small heroes, and Kate DiCamillo really captured that essence in this novel. Despereaux explores very deep emotions, just like Ga'Hoole does, not only in its main character but in all of them.

Breaking away from children's lit (which is my passion, really) I think my (current) favorite would be... The Mistress of Spices by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni. It reads like a modern fairy tale, and her language is simply rich. The way the author describes the simplest things can set such a beautiful image in your mind...

I haven't heard of the Amber series in quite awhile. It is one of my hubby's favorites.

i like reading comics ^^

I like the books by John Green. Especially An Abundance of Katherines

My favorite is The Dragonlance series and the Black Jewels series

My absolute favourite book isn't actually a book. It's a play, but I feel it can apply here as I did in fact read it rather than see it. Anyway, my favourite book/play is written by Arthur Miller and is called 'The Crucible'.

I really enjoyed it as the content was always something that I was extremely interested anyway (The Salem Witch Hunts were probably the most shameful period in American history, I loved hearing the ins and outs of it all) but to see it come to life in an action packed play was just the icing on the cake.

PHANTOM OF THE OPERA...

But when I want something I don't have to think too hard about, I constantly pick up Scott Westerfeild's UGLIES series. I enjoy the read, but I don't spend all my time having to read between the lines. When I have a REALLY busy schedule, I can read the series because it's light enough to not interfere. I've probably read it through 5 times.

Heidi, I guess.

Favorite book? Hmm. Well, my favorite serious is Mrs. Pollifax. Love those books so much. And I also love the Tale of Emily Winsnap books. But I'd have to say that my favorite single book is Light in Shadow By Jayne Ann Krentz. Its amazing :3

Well my favorite books are in the fantasy category and one is willow. and no the brownies are not what you think they are they are just the small people who end up capturing the magical baby from willow and help him svae the world from peril doom. yes a magical baby then i like the old. from bavmorda and the sad part is she was beautiful at first and ended up ugly at the end. and her daughter fell in love with willow's friend and helper.

Dreamland by Sarah Dessen.

My favorite books I would have to say are
The Bedwyn series from Mary Balogh
The Argeneau Novel series from Lynsay Sands
A Mercy Thompson Novel series from Patricia Briggs
Soldier Boys by Dean Hughes

my absolute favorite books are:
-The Hunger Games
-Catching fire
-Mockingjay
-Uglies
-Lockdown Escape from Furnace
-The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson series)
I have more but I can't remember rite now

My favorite book HAS to be Rangers Apprentice! My favorite character is either Halt or Horace. I just finished book 2 a couple days ago! There are like six books!

i like reading love novels, i like the suspense of wondering wether or not they are going to make it as a couple or if they are just going to throw it all away, and i really like the obsticles that some go through just to prove that they love each other and they arent going to throw their love away just becuz people dont want to see them together. and some of the novels i have read i feel like i can relate to in some way or another.

some of my favorite books are:
-Dave at Night
-Searching for David's heart
-and the chicken soup for the soul books, they have a lot of very touching stories.

hmm, well my favorite books were the twilight series, the chicken soup for the soul books, and the harry potter series and i would say that the single books that i read and would consider to be my favorites would be to kill a mocking bird by Harper Lee, the color of water by James Mcbride, dave at night by Gail Carson Levine, searching for david's heart: a christmas story by Cherie Bennett, and a book called the flavor of the week by Tucker Shaw.

Bloomability, The Host, The Immortal Series, The Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Series and some others.

I loved a Confederacy of Dunces -- very funny book that was extremely well done, although I lent to someone who absolutely hated it. :(

Dr. J and Mr. H was interesting as well -- it's darker than I usually like my stories, tho...but I loved what Alan Moore did with the character in the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen...

Since we already have a sticky dedicated to everyone's favorite books, I've gone ahead and merged a couple of threads with it. :yes:

I don't read books too much, but one of the few books i did read was Genesis Alpha by Rune Micheals.
It was quite interesting, read the whole thing in one day. Very, very, few books have me do this xD

My very favourite book is 'Ballet Shoes' by Noel Streatfeild.

I like the classics.
-Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger
-To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
-The Bell Jar by Syliva Plath
-The Time Machine by HG Wells
-Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick
