I've read a lot of good books so far this year. oddly enough my favorite one was one that the school made me read. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. I also read some of Steven Kings books and all of them were really good. (The Dark Tower series and Salems Lot my favs)

My favorite this year was a book we used as a textbook for my seminar course in the Biblical World. It is by Calvin Roetzel, and I believe it is simply called The New Testament World, or something like that.
I have never understood the New Testament world so well as after I read that book! It was able to give so much detail in such a small amount of space. I was really impressed.
I haven't been able to read too many books of my own choosing, since I've been in college - I just have to read what they assign for the most part. But I just finished college today, and now the real fun begins!

Too many to count. I go through books like my life depends on how fast I read them. I learned to read when I was three so I'm a fast reader. Some of the books I've read that I've really enjoyed would be a two book series called 'Twilight' and 'New Moon'. They are by Stephanie Meyer and they are about a vampire and a girl falling in love and all the conflicts with their love. I also read the Women's Murder Club series by James Patterson. Other books by him were the Maximum Ride series that is YA. and the adult versions of those books "When the Wind Blows' and 'The Lake House. The rest are mostly YA and I can't remember them all so I'd have to go look at my bookshelf. Message me if you want more.

I read about 6 books per week. Some are better than others and some are judged by the mood I am in at the time. I have no favorites.

I've read like two and lots of poems. I read The Stranger by Albert Camus and I finish a book I started last year which was Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. My Favorite is Jane Eyre.

I've read quite a few - trying to finish at least one book a week.
Taking advice of someone here on Answers, I started reading George R. R. Martin's series of Ice And Fire fantasy books. If you like fantasy, you would enjoy these books.

"Infidel" by Ayaan Hirsi Ali. A must read book! This incredibly courageous woman offers an insiders view of today's world of Islam - and all of its horrors!
