Dresden file book series by Jim Butcher.There are 8 books in the series beginning with stormfront.Each novel in the series is told from the fictional perspective of Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden (named by his father after Harry Houdini, Harry Blackstone, Sr., and David Copperfield). Dresden is the only professional wizard in modern-day Chicago (he is in the phone book, under "Wizards").In the world of The Dresden Files, magic is real, along with vampires, demons, spirits, faeries, werewolves, and more. The general public that Harry Dresden works to protect does not believe in magic or the large array of dark forces which regularly conspire against them. This makes it tough for Harry to get by as a working wizard and private eye.He is aided by Bob,a talking skull.Karrin Murphy-a police officer and Thomas-a white court vampire.

My favorite book is Cry, The Beloved Country by Alan Paton. I love the way his writing style flows, sort of stream of consciousness style. I have never really been particularly interested in Apartheid history, but this book somehow makes it real and important to me. It is a great commentary on race, and the fact that all races face the same issues and operate in the same ways.

"Outlander" by Diana Gabaldon. It follows Claire (a 20th century nurse) who is transported back to 18th century Scotland where she meets, is forced to marry, and then falls in love with one James Fraser. There are six books in the series. The characters are believable (even if the time travel thing isn't), the historical information is incredibly well researched, the writing is extremely well done, and the books themselves are absolutely addictive. I reread the whole series at least once a year.

I have several that are my favorites...The Season of Passage by Christopher Pike (for thrillers/suspense/horror fans), The Dreamcatcher by Stephen King (for a good long, intiruging sci-fi read), and The Tenth Cirlce by Jodi Picoult (for family/mystery type good reads).

Twilight by Stephenie Meyer.
It opened a whole new door to the world of Vampires and fantasy. Twilight inspires me to write stories about love and the supernatural. Also, Tithe by Holly Black, is probably my favorite Faerie tale of all time.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is by far my favorite, I've read it several times and I LOVE it. The characters are easy to relate to and sympathize with, it's the best book ever written in my opinion

"I Sing the Body Electric" by Ray Bradbury. It's a collection of his short stories that are moving, poignant, fantasy, science fiction, and pure wonder. I met him a few years ago; he's a lover of libraries and people. He is exactly as I pictured him from reading his many books. (He also is the author of "Fahrenheit 451.)

The Harry Potter series - amazing, complex characters, and storyline. It's especially exciting to get to go back to the past and learn more about certain characters. JK Rowling has a wonderful imagination.

Sabriel or Twilight. Sabriel is about a girl that can go into death and bring people back to life. It has an adult and a kid version, i read the kid version. Twilight is about a girl in love with a vampire. Very interesting.
