A million little pieces by james frey, just a good read even though not all of it is true...should also read The End of Faith by Sam Harris, brilliant book about the major religions in world today and how we should rather go with reason than faith.

My favorite book (books and stories) are Asimov robot and Foundation series. If you have time, read the robot series (The Caves of Steel, The Naked Sun, The Robots of Dawn, Robots and Empire, Prelude to Foundation and Foundation and Earth.) and then the foundation series (Foundation, Foundation and Empire, Second Foundation, Foundation's Edge, Foundation and Earth) in the ORDER OF PUBLICATION. Without giving out the ending, you will find that you will be pleased with the way the author describes and ties in 10,000 yrs of future history.

My absolute fave is "The Lord of the Rings", best book ever written. It holds everything! Great storytelling, drama, fantasy, love, humour, excitement, suspense, horror, lengthy sentences, descriptions, bravery, and most importantly all threads in the story neatly tied in the end. It's AWESOME! I've read it at least once a year since I was 11.

Alice in Wonderland, Lewis Carol
Under the Skin, Michel Faber

13 and 1/2 lives of Captain Bluebear, Walter Moers.
All the Jasper Fforde books.....

My favourite book at the moment is 'Misery' Stephen King, it was horrible for days while reading it I was in a daze and I felt trapped. I almost cried when he got his foot amputated, and all from a book. Awesome. Annie felt so real as well I felt she was looking over my shoulder while I was reading. The power of literature.

I don't really have favourite books, just favourite authors, like at the moment I love Marian Keyes and that, my clever old brother (english student) says he likes Aphra Behn's Oroonoko (its pretty old) it's about an African boy sold into slavery, sounds pretty good but it's really sad apparently.

My favourite book is 'Gone With the Wind'.
It reads like a poem and I love poetry

I read lot of them but my favourite one is a play by William " Antony & Cleopatra". Its better than all his plays because he has depicted the nature of his characters as they were back 2000 years ago.
But my first and best of them all is The Holy Bible and the book of Isaiah.

I've read Prozac Nation 3 times. It's such a raw and honest memoir.
