I'm need books like a crackhead needs crack, I just don't have time for them always.... So what are y'all's fav. books??

Mine are:

Life of Pi

Confessions of A Shopaholic Series

Chronicles of Narnia

The Good Earth

The Poisonwood Bible

Coyotes

Harry Potter!! easiest the #1 fav for me.

Philadelphia,

Binu,

To Kill a Mockingbird...

and some random Swedish stuff. :)

I love Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter, and His Dark Materials (Golden Compass trilogy) and that's about it for the series...

I really enjoy Amy Tan's books...

Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time is also one of those that you just don't forget after reading but I wouldn't call it my favourite

Anne of Green Gables, Emily of New Moon...haha classic Canadian literature =] (or just l.m. Montgomery) I think I know more young classic teen books since I did a lot more reading back then...

sadly I don't get to read as much as I'd like :P

My Fav book

Harry Potter series , uhmmm i dont if its my fave since i only read it once, after that put it on the book shell

Totto chan ~ little girl at the windows , definitely my fave i read it 5 times now. Story of little girl before WW II

Musashi ~ story of Miyamoto Musashi

Yakuza Moon ~ Story of Yakuza daughter on 90's

A long came Spider

Laskar Pelangi

And etc

Hmm.

Lord of the Rings - exceptionally well written. Not neccessarily for story and characterization, but sheer writing style.

Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - while not a singular novel, but rather a collection of A. C. Doyles' tales of the famous detective, it will always hold a very special place in my heart. I love the Victorian era because of these books.

A Brief History of Time/The Universe in a Nutshell - Steven Hawking's double-book (it's actually two books rolled into one) explaning the universe using modern day (post Einsteinien) physics. Covering everything from the cosmic to the sub-atomic level. Incredibly enlightening, shocking, thought-provoking and - ironically, quite funny to read (he's got a sense of humour). Highly recommended to those with a brain.

Catch 22 - simply one of the best (and funniest) novels of this century.

A Song of Ice and Fire (ongoing series) - while not in the poetic, proseaic style of Tolkien - this remains a fantasy series that is deeply rooted in its own world; much devoid of the spell-casting, dice-rolling cheese fantasy that lines bookshelves in our post Dungeons and Dragons society. Excellent - except the author seems damned lazy.

I'm so excited.. Ang Lee (I THINK) picked up Life of Pi to make into a movie. It's sooo sad, and really disturbing. I hope they get it right.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass


Great books. Not just whimsiness. The fantasy and inner meanings are good. I highly recommend this classic.


And Then there Were None

For some reason, this mystery scared me at night. Great writing. I highly recommend this book by Agatha Christie. (sp?)



Others:

Pride & Prejudice
Harriet the Spy
Twilight - ONLY the first book though
Flipped, by Wendelin van Draanen

I liked The Lovely Bones. Its really dark and makes you think.

I liked the Twilight Series until they made the film. But yeah Twilight was the best one.

Hey Nostradamus! was a good one too.

Harry Potter isnt really my favourite but they are good reads.
