Default favourite books?

What are your favourite books?
My favourite book is "I never promised you a rosegarden" from Hannah Green.
It's about a girl who is schizophrenic. and it's really interesting to read how a crazy person sees the world. You really get to understand her.

I'm not really very fond of reading but I think the best book I've read is "To Kill A Mockingbird". The novel tackled an interesting issue and has presented it in a way that everybody can understand and relate to.

I like the story of "Once Upon a Summer". I think it was written by Janet Oke. It was about how a family stayed together despite the changes in each of the members' lives.

I have a strange imagination so I always say "Phantom Tollbooth" is my favorite, but as far as adult books go, perhaps something like "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair or "PostSecret" by Frank Warren.

Ahh, a topic after my own heart.

Let's see: A Game of Thrones and A Clash of Kings (and the other A Song of Ice and Fire books as well), most of the books in the Dragonlance series, most of the books in the Forgotten Realms setting, Wizard's First Rule, The Dragonbone Chair (and To Green Angel Tower), The Sword of Shannara, The Hobbit, and The Lord of the Rings, The Deathgate series, Spiderwick, The Edge Chronicles, Harry Potter (the entire series as well), Artemis Fowl, Inkheart, Moby Dick, anything Charles de Lint puts out, Ender's Game, Ender's Shadow, Xenocide, Shadow of the Hegemon, The Eye of the World, The Great Hunt, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Ranma, The Egyptian, The Elric Saga, Tales of the White Wolf, The Princess Bride, Peter Pan, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Sword in the Stone, Seraphim, Timeline, Jurassic Park, Trace, One for the Money, The Bible (more specifically the Peshitta), Alice in Quantumland, Beyond Einstein, Hyperspace, A Brief History of Time, Richard Feynman's The Character of Physical Law and last, but certainly not least (not considering I probably left out a few dozen of my personal favorites), Atlantis: the Antediluvian world.

I classify favorites as books I both thoroughly enjoyed and that I've often picked up for second, third, even fourth readings, and the above are definitely some of mine.

My all time favorite was Annie Franks Diary. I will read 24/7 if I could. I have always loved reading.

Lately, I am finding myself getting into the "Found" by Davy Rothbart series. It's like Post Secret, but instead of people sending in postcards of their personal secrets, it's randomly found objects that people send in, and you get a look into what someone's life may have been like. Very interesting.

I like books by Clive Cussler, Tom Clancy, and a lot of Science Fiction, and Fantasy authors.
