A Prayer for Owen Meany, by John Irving.
So many reasons. It's a good read. It's well thought out. There are so many layers to it. Its moving, funny, incredibly dark, and sad. It has a lot of important things to say about so many different things.
Basically:
It's an epic novel about, a really memorable little kid who becomes a hero.
Just read it. You won't be able to put it down... until you've read it at least three times. Your going to find so many themes, and metaphors, and its rich in life and death.
mmm. I think I want to read it again.

I've read way too many to have just one favorite. I really enjoy the Harry Potters; I liked the Charlie Bones; I love series books of all kind - JD Robb (and Nora, of course), Janet Evanovich, Sue Grafton, Patricia Cornwell and any others I can get my hands on. I believe you get more character development even from a triology than you can get from just one book, you feel as though the characters are your friends, not just figments of the authors imagination. That's the best part for me.

"The Many Colored Land" by JULIAN MAY.
It is the first instalment of the most wonderful, exciting and remorselessly detailed yet dynamic and plot-driven series of science fiction novels I have ever read.
After reading Julian May's novels, I have found it impossible to read another science fiction book again and truly enjoy it. May really is the final word in satisfying science fiction.
Do yourself a favour; read her very first, The Many Coloured Land. You will not regret it.

Most of the books I read are text books because I like learning.

April Morning by Howard Fast.
A boy in the midst of war told through his eyes.
It made me feel like I was there with him.
Not that I like war, but well written book.
