The Lord of the Rings (which does not feel right unless I read The Hobbit first.)

My favorite books would have to be:
Tithe by Holly Black
Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
and of course...
the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling.
TITHE---Sixteen-year-old Kaye is a modern nomad. Fierce and independent, she travels from city to city with her mother's rock band until an ominous attack forces Kaye back to her childhood home. There, amid the industrial, blue-collar New Jersey backdrop, Kaye soon finds herself an unwilling pawn in an ancient power struggle between two rival faerie kingdoms -- a struggle that could very well mean her death.
UGLIES---Tally Youngblood has been brought up in a world where people are considered ugly after age 12, when they are sent to live in Uglyville. Everyone is given an operation to become pretty at age 16. Tally is almost 16 and can hardly wait to get her operation, but she makes a new friend who feels differently. While it seems a minor problem, it evolves into something much bigger. Suddenly Tally questions everything she has ever believed in. And now the only thing that seems important to her is the horrible truth she has learned about becoming pretty.
***The summaries of the books may sound boring, but they are really both great! The Tithe book has a sequel comming out soon, the name is Ironside. And In the Uglies Trilogy, there is also Pretties and Specials.***
I really hope you will read these books.

It seems this would have to be books that I've read over and over which include To Kill a Mockingbird, Pride and Prejudice, Watchers by Dean Koontz, A Knight in Shining Armor by Jude Deveraux, and the Harry Potter books.

Exocet by Jack Higgins. I can't tell how many times I have read this book and it is just as wonderful as the first time I read it...It is a good thriller about a pilot fighting in the war for the Malvinas(Falklands). The exocets were the planes purchased from France. I have read most of his books and found them to be excellent.

It by Stephen King. This book is worth reading a second time just to take it all in.
