Count of Montecristo by Alexander Dumas.The hero is Edmond Dantés, a young French sailor who, falsely accused of treason, is arrested on his wedding day and imprisoned in the island fortress of Château d'If. After staging a dramatic escape he sets out to discover the fabulous treasure of Monte Cristo and catch up with his enemies. A novel of enormous tension and excitement, Monte Cristo is also a tale of obsession and revenge, with Dantés, believing himself to be an `Angel of Providence', pursuing his vengeance to the bitter end before realizing that he himself is a victim of fate.The author did a great job describing the emotions of the prisoner.Disbelief,denial,self pity,madness,apathy and finally hope.For God's sake don't see any of the movies based on the book.They don't do justice to the book.
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.

I love reading and it is difficult to choose a favourite book, but i would say 'Black Beauty' by Anna Sewell,for this is the book that made me love reading(I never liked reading until I read black Beauty).Otherwise I also like the novels of Austen and many others.

I like to read so I don't have just one. I like the mystery books by Perri O'Shaugnessy but you have to get them from the first because they are a continuing story about a lawyer named Nina and are based around the Lake Tahoe, Monterey/Carmel CA and SanFrancisco CA area. You can find the list of them in order at http://www.perrio.com/.
I also like the "Joshua" books by Joseph Girzone.
I like any mystery books by Phyllis A. Whitney.
