"The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran
"Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte
"The Diaries Of Anais Nin"

"LOTR and The Hobbit" and"Outlander" by Diana Galbaldon;"Dracula" by Bram Stoker;"The Murder of Roger Ackroyd" by Agatha Christie;"South The Endurance Expedition" by Ernest Shackleton;"The Stand" by Stephen King;"Embrace The Night" by Amanda Ashley;"The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" by CS Lewis;"A Brief History Of Time" by Stephen Hawking;"The Wizard of Oz" by L Frank Baum:"The Martian Chronicles" and "I Sing The Body Electric" by Ray Bradbury

It's hard picking just one, but well my favorite book is "The Lord Of The Rings". I love lots of other books, like "100 years Of Solitude" by Gabriel García Márquez and "The Unbereable lightness Of Being" by Milan Kundera, is great too. "Love In times Of Cholera" (By G. G. Márquez too) is also awesome. Then there are great short stories Like Zero Hour By Ray Bradbury, which I love.

Thomas Wolfe's Look Homeward, Angel- Small town life seen through a growing boy's eyes.

I also have to be on the bandwagon with To Kill A Mockingbird

Others include: Of Mice and Men-Joihn Steinbeck, Of Time and the River (I love Thomas Wolfe), and Les Miserables-Victor Hugo

More Contemporary: I love many of Russell Banks' books including The Sweet Hereafter, Cloudsplitter and Affliction.

I really like to read and my favorite book changes everytime I read a new book. I suppose if I had to pick one, it would be "Little Women." I have read that book at least twice a year since I was nine. I also love "Lord of The Rings."

My favorite books have got to be anything by Lauren Brooke, all the Mary Higgins Clark books, Nancy Drew, Witch of Blackbird Pond, Balinor Series. There's so many I couldn't list them all.

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

I can't wait for the sequel, Second Summer of the Sisterhood... there is an excerpt of both books @ www.sisterhoodcentral.com , if you are interested!

Sillylily - could it be Vivian VandeVelde? My daughter reads her books and loves them. I couldn't possibly pick a favorite book, depends too much on mood, on where I am in my life, where do you rate a book that was just a lot of fun to read against something that moved you to tears? However, lately I've been remembering "Kim" a lot, thinking about it, needing to read it again, so, since no one else has named it, that can be my choice.

Yeah, I think you're right. I loved "Night Companions" so much that I tried to find more of her books but I couldn't. Oh,well.

Some of my favorite books-

"Catcher In the Rye" JD Salinger
"Illusions" Richard Bach
"The Hawkline Monster" Richard Brautigan (or any Brautigan novel)
"Goblin Reservation" Clifford Simak
"Smilia's Sense of Snow" Peter Hoeg
"Another Roadside Attraction" and other novels by Tom Robbins
"The Hobbit" "Lord of the Rings" et al by JRR Tolkien
"The Stand" Stephen King
also- most anything by Tom DeHaven, William Kotzwinkle,
Clifford Simak, Kurt Vonnegut and Rob Swigart. I like counter-culture novels; sci-fi/fantasy (esp. of the rural kind); and good
mysteries.

I like all books by Lois Duncan, J.K. Rowling, Lemony Snicket (A.K.A. Daniel Handler), and a book of poetry called "Foreign Exchange" by Mel Glenn

I love Little Women and To Kill a Mockingbird. But I really like the Moonstone by Wilke Collins. It's a great book, it's a detective story. And also it's about this really precious yellow diamond. That's probably why I like it so much! Anyway, it's a great read.

My favourites are:
"The Stand" by Stephen King
"War and Peace" by Leo Tolstoy
"Warchild" by Karin Lowachee
"Ender's Game" by O.S.C.
"The Autobiography of Malcolm X" by Alex Haley

The Complete Sherlock Holmes by Sir A. Conan Doyle

up

Harry Potter

#1 has to be Portnoy's complaint by Philip Roth. Jewish or not, you only need a rude sense of humour and this one will have you cracking up. (nb, bathroom scenes highly recommended)

a very similar second is Good as Gold (author forgotten) if you like one, you'll like the other.

For inspiration, the 3 'Journey ' books by Robert Monroe, a true account of his out of body experiences, are the few I go back to look at regularly, and if true mean our world is a lot bigger and better than we thought it was.

My favourite has to be Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone but Enid Blyton's Five On A Treasure Island is catching up ! I love Enid Blyton !

Atlas Shrugged
Angela's Ashes
The Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood
The Poisonwood Bible
Slaughterhouse Five
Clan of the Cave Bear
