My all time favorite book:
"Mister God, this is Anna"
Of course I have read a lot of books,
but this one I have read many times
and I will read it again.

Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, all of Augusten Burroughs books (though they may be a little strong for some), and I do like all of the H Potter books. Also all of Douglas Adams books-my favorite is The Long Dark Teatime of the Soul.
