My Favourite is hard to choose. Perhaps the Lord of the Rings, no too traditional. ASnyhing fanstasy, too sad. The Iliad, too classical...

Definatly Cold, Comfort Farm (author unknown) or The Importance of Being Earnest (Oscar Wilde) A hilarious satire of some of the classic english novels.

Also anything by Terry Prachett

Whoa, Jam likes The Catcher in the Rye. Wait but Holden swear a lot. He also smokes and drinks and almost has sex too. Looks like Jam is softening up.

One of my favorite books is
Suzannes Diary for Nicholaus by James Patterson

I have lots....

1. The Catcher in The Rye
2. The Hotel Alleluia
3. The Dress Lodger
4. Wuthering Heights
5. A Tale of TWo Cities
6. Tuesdays with Morrie
7. Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl
8. The House of the Seven Gables
9. The Almighty
10. The Witch of Blackbird Pond

.....these are just some of the books that i like.... There are more!!

I love Watership Down by Richard Adams. I haven't finished it but so far it's pretty awesome.

leiDuag, that was a good book.

Staying Fat For Sarah Brynes is on my favorite list right now. Too many good books to have an absolute favorite though.

I have to read "A Seperate Peace" for school though.

I personally like A Tree Grows In Brooklyn. I am currently not reading anything due to extreme exam week.

Right now, I'm reading Has Globalization Gone Too Far? by Dani Rodrink. It's a bit dry or perhaps it seems that way because I've developed a taste for fantasy fiction. I'm also readng Black Boy by Richard Wright for english class.

My favorite is Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (yes I am an unforgivable nerd) and I am actually reading a non-fantasy book (schocking!!). I am reading Notes from a Small Island by Bill Bryson.

Ender's Game and sequels are must reads for sci-fi fans.

Agreed. The Discworld series would be a nice start. I am up to Jingo so far, college is making things busy.

As for suggestions, you know of the works of R. A. Salvatore, correct? I recommend him with outstanding honors, an amazing author.

I'm a big fan of James Clavelle, most notably his book "Shogun".

The St.Paul stories of F. Scott Fitzgerald is what i'm reading now. He's the best!

I am a satire and fanstay lover and anyone with decent recomendations should get in touch.

Also, Sabriel and sequels. Nix is a great author. I highly recommend The Golden Compass by Phillip Pullman. And also Angels and Demons. I feel that the Angels and Demons is better than the Davinci Code but has seen condiderably less publicity.

The whole "His Dark Materials" Series
The thief lord
