I am honestly a grown woman, but one of my favorite books is The Monster at the End of this Book. I know it's a little kids book; it's just so fun to read out loud. It's the only book that I'm aware of that you get to yell through most of it.
I also like Outrage by Henry Denker. It's about a man that gets away with the rape and murder of a young woman because of a technicality. Her father kills the man, and turns himself in to be accountable for his actions. His lawyer and the father butt heads because of the father wanting to do his time.

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card.
It's about a young boy Andrew "Ender" who is chosen or recruited into an international army (all children) trained in space at a battle station to defend earth against attack from aliens. Obviously futuristic, it takes place after two alien wars. It is the characters that make this book great. Ender's development as a character, a person, is central to the plot. His strengths and weaknesses are tied together with the fate of the entire world.
Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
Bella Swan is your average--albeit clumsy--teen until one day when she meets Edward. Edward is unlike any boy she's ever seen before. Handsome, mysterious, and unpredictable...one day he's friendly and polite, another day he's avoiding her like she causes him pain by being in the same room with him. Yet she's drawn to him in an unmistakable way. The fascination only increases after he saves her life a few times....it is unforgettably romantic story of two teens.

I don't know if I could choose a favorite book, but when I read the question, the first thing that popped into my mind was MY SWEET AUDRINA by V.C. Andrews.
VC Andrews (before death) is definitely one of my favorite authors; I just love her psychological thrillers, because I thoroughly enjoy the way she creates a fascinating mystery while not selling her characters short. She draws her characters in such a human way, that you can't help but identify with them, understand them, feel for them, cheer for them, etc. It draws you right in, and I always love a good psychological mystery/thriller anyway, and she's one of the best! She gives herself equally to the story's plot and to the story's characters, and it creates such a wonderful balance of emotion, intrigue, and suspense.
I also enjoy Mary Higgins Clark and Nora Roberts.

My favorite author is Stephen King, mainly because most of his stories take a scary look at a "What if..." kind of question. I especially like his books of short stories, because in many of them he writes a few sentences before or after each story telling the reader exactly where he got the idea for that story. I find that fascinating!

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy by Tolkien I loved the adorable characters and the very detailed adventure story. I liked how most of the characters were likeable, or atleast interesting.
Christy by C. Marshall I liked that it was based on a true story of a young women who was not content with her pampered life and instead wanted to help others. She took risks that were admirable. I loved the humor and fell in love with all the characters and gorgeous scenery of the Appalacian mountains. Very inspirational.
The Sister Circle by N. Moser I adore the honest, realistic, quirky characters and the fact that they all change for the better and learn how to tolerate one another.

I love anything by James Michener; the basic gist of his books is that he takes a region of the world and describes it as it changes throughout history by profiling the people who live there. The people in these stories are also related to each other from one chapter to the next so it really draws you into the story.

Right now my fav book is "A World of Movies" 70 years of film history. Movies represent infinite beauty of people and their interactions with one another, the world landscape, cultures..the human psyche.
Well I enjoy the nostalgia of old movies and it brings out the romantic in me. have fun!
my favorite author is still John Steinbeck...His words moved me when I was very young.

there are extra than a number of of obtrusive solutions, yet i will bypass with The Godfather. BQ--grasp and Commander. I do in basic terms like the books, however the nautical expressions could make the action no longer common to maintain on with. the movie did a impressive job of enhancing the excellent factors of various books in the sequence and supplying you with a real experience for the story and characters.

my favorite book to date is called the The Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman
He has an interesting way of blending Eastern Thought with Western Metaphyisics and paving a new way of thinking!
