I can't go into much detail, it would take all day. Here is my short list: [1]Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand, a story about a man who said he would stop the motor of the world, and did. [2] The Book of Five Rings, by Miamoto Musashi, it is a manual for victory, like Sun Tsu's Art of War, but more personal. [3] The Book of New Sun, by Gene Wolfe, a magnificently written heroic epic that takes place on Earth (or Urth), billions of years in the future. This may be the "best" book. [4] Time Enough for Love, by Robert Anson Heinlein, the life and times of the oldest man in the Universe (over 2000 yrs old). [5] The Dark Tower, by Steven King, the story of Roland the Gunslinger, one of the most badass literary characters of all time.

I enjoy a little of everything. Books: The Hobbit and The Lord of The Ring Trilogy, Harry Potter, Frankenstein, Pride and Prejudice, etc. Authors: Erma Bombeck, Tom Clancy, David Eddings, John Grisham, and more. OK, not everything. I hate the modern romance novels.

A great (true story) 3 book series by Dave Pelzer: A Child Called "IT", The Lost Boy and A Man Named Dave.
Memoirs of a Geisha, The Da Vinci Code, The Talisman and whatever text book that has been assigned.

I really liked the series by christopher Paolini, so far his books are Eragon(the first one) and Eldest (the second one) he is still working on the third. I also liked the Artemis Fowl series so far has 4 books I will list them in order Artemis fowl, Artemis fowl: the artic incident, Artemis fowl: the eternity code, but i forgot the name of the 4th book. I liked Goose bumps, and the Redwall series which had about 12-13 books. Another really good series was the three halo books, Halo: fall of reach, Halo: the flood, i forget the last 1

My kind of favorite books varies from what catches my attention at the time. Right now, I'm into the sci-fi/fantasy and romantic horror genres. My favorite authors is Dirk Wittenborn, Stephen King and Laurell K. Hamilton.

I read all types of books, my favourite author I think would have to be George Orwell, I think Animal Farm is one of the best stories ever written.

I read a book about every two weeks. I'll read anything but I tend to enjoy historical fiction the best. My all time favorite is Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett.
