Dresden file book series by Jim Butcher.There are 8 books in the series beginning with stormfront.It narrates the story of Harry Dresden,chicago's only professional wizard who works as a detective.He stands between the general population who is ignorant about the supernatural world and the monsters - vampires,werewolves,fallen angels,fey.He is aided by Bob,a talking skull.Karrin Murphy-a police officer and Thomas-a white court vampire.

Another good series is the Dark Hunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon.The books provide an alternate take on vampires.People who are unjustly murdered call upon Artemis(Greek goddess) and she grants them a day to avenge themselves.After that they are recruited to her army to fight against evil.These are romance novels.Best of the series are 'Dance with the devil' and 'Seize the night'.

Dragonjousters series(joust,alta,sanctuary) by Mercedes Lackey.The setting is ancient Egypt.Hunger, anger, and hatred are constants for young Vetch, rendered a brutally mistreated and overworked serf by the Tian conquest of his homeland. But everything improves when a Tian jouster requisitions Vetch to become the first serf ever to be a dragon boy. His training is intense, and his duty clear-cut: to tend his jouster, Ari, and his dragon, Kashet. He discovers that, because Ari himself had hatched Kashet, the dragon is different from others that have been captured live in the wild and must be drugged to be made tractable. Vetch finds he really likes and understands dragons, and soon he becomes the best dragon boy of all. He still harbors anger, however, toward the Tian invasion. Could he, perhaps, hatch a dragon, and then escape to help his people?

Scaramouche by Rafael Sabatini.When his best friend, a young clergyman, is killed in a mockery of a duel by an arrogant noble, just to quiet his eloquent expressions of democratic ideals, Andre-Louis Moreau vows revenge.

However, the nobleman causes pain to Moreau as well, and the time must come when the two will meet to settle their enmity once and for all. You are not likely to guess how their confrontation finally turns out. Set against the backdrop of the French Revolution, this swashbuckling novel is exciting throughout, and it presents one of the most dashing heroes in fiction, a man who can fight equally well with his mind, his mouth, his pen, and his sword, a man who stirs up events wherever he goes.

Answer 2

I have many "favorite" books.

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card is a good science fiction book. I think it is interesting and has appeal to those with interests outside the genre. It was my first sci fi book, and I don't know what it is about it that makes me love it. I guess it is Card's writing and characterizations. The book is about a young boy, Ender, whose genius makes him potentially the Savior of the world from a future alien invasion. Taken from his parents and the only home he's ever known, he along with other 6 and 7 year olds are taken to a school (battle station) in space where he's trained to be a soldier. Yet despite everything going on, he never loses his humanness...

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer is another great book I'd consider to be my favorite. It's about a young teen, Bella Swan, who falls in love with Edward Cullen, a handsome ever-mysterious student who turns out is keeping a big secret--he's a vampire!

Answer 3

The Fountainhead by Any Rand. Its well written and presents an interesting theory, objectism, which makes it different then most fictional novels. It is about an Architect in the 20's who is trying to usher in era of modern building but society is fighting him to preserve tradition. I think it presents some great ideas on how man should look at life and accomplishment. But I warn everyone that you will either love it or hate it. Many people find the ideas harsh and I think they forget that it is a book which has to use extremes to present the ideas.
