Brave New World by Alduos Huxley
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
The Mage Winds Trilogy by Mercedes Lackey
Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie
All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot
My favorite genre is fantasy, because I enjoy the escapism that goes with it, but I'll read just about anything. I learned to read when I was very, very young and then read everything I could get my hands on- I like to learn, and reading is one of the best ways to do so.

Maos last dancer
Secrets of jin shie
Eragon
Chinese cinderella
Any book by Tamora Pierce
I love fantasy because it allows me to escape into a world that wouldnt be possible otherside, sometimes when my life gets really bad, i read fantasy just to escape
Im also keenly interested in Asian culture, idont know why, i just find it interesting, also love books that are based around a real event, but have a fictional storyline, an example of this would be the movie Wild Wild west or the book Chinese cinderella and the secret dragon society

Tahn by L. A. Kelly
Gone With The Wind
Harry Potter series
Patriot Games by tom Clancy
Left Behind series
I read just about any fiction novels. Right now I am really into romance though. I enjoy reading because I can escape into a whole other world without leaving the safety of my own house. There just isn't anything like it.

Firestarter-Stephen King (love almost all, but that ones my fav)
The Historian-Elizabeth Kostova
Dragonlance Series by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman
Runaway Jury-John Grisham (again, love almost all of them)
The DaVinci Code-Dan Brown (again, all of them)
I really read just about everything. History books (I just finished reading an awesome book on George Washington, and another one on Julius Caesar), fiction, fantasy, poetry (love Edgar Allan Poe and Robert Frost), sci-fi, horror, historical novels, detective novels. Basically anything i can get my hands on. I read about 3 or 4 books a month at least. What got me to love reading was Firestarter. It was the first book i ever read, i was 5, and it just opened my eyes to this incredible world where anything can happen. as i grew older i got into other genres (the ones above) and i just started to read everything. during my senior year in high school i started to write poetry, and so i read some poets works. so far i have published 4 of my poems. it's pretty cool.

1. Burmese Days (Novel)
2. The Periodic Table (Autobiography)
3. To Kill a Mockingbird (Novel)
4. The Cairo Trilogy (Novel)
5. The Consolations of Philosophy (Philosophy)
I enjoy reading them because they're well written for readers to read and understand with good choice of words and great narrative, They've illuminated me with inspirations for reading more on each particular author, in short, each has revealed his own unique literary style as the second to one prose for each genre in its time and beyond.

Jane Eyre
All Creatures Great and Small

I love the old ones, they are all very romantic, and the language they use is lavish.
