"House of Leaves" by Mark Danielewski; horror; it's the most imaginative book I've ever read.
"Survivor" by Chuck Palahniuk; humor/satire; I laughed non-stop while reading it.
"The Book of Three" by Lloyd Alexander; fantasy; a great, dark teen-oriented fantasy.
"A Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley; sci-fi; written around 1930 it is almost frightening in it's predictions of the future.
"Catcher in the Rye" by J. D. Salinger; general fiction; it just hit me in the right place at the right time (on a Greyhound bus on my way across the country during my quarter life crisis)

I. Pride and Predjudice by Jane Austen. This is a wonderful story. It is funny, romantic, and has great characters.
2. The Hobbit. I fell in love with this fantasy book as a kid and I still read it every now and again. It is like visiting an old friend.
3. From here I would have to say another book by Jane A. I am a big fan. I wish she would have lived longer to write more.
4. Possibly the last Harry Potter book because it was my favorite of the series.
5. I am not sure...I will probably come up with an answer the minute I click on the submit button.
