READ IT.

I have many faves. I can't just choose 1! If I think of any more I'll post them!

Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind (fantasy)
Fire Bringer by David Clement-Davies (fantasy)
Empress by Karen Miller (fantasy)
House of Night series by P.C and Kristin Cast (vampire)
Vampire Kisses by Ellen Schreiber
Circle trilogy by Nora Roberts (fantasy)
Twilight series, of course!

It fluctuates, per my mood.

I most recently re-read "Rant," but I re-read several books frequently.

I own every Palahniuk book, frequently can be caught reading Heinlein's "Starship Troopers" and "Stranger in a Strange Land," and also favor Catch-22. So I really don't quite have a favorite book, but if I had to choose one book to be stuck on an island with, I'd probably go with "Haunted."

The Stand, Stephen King.

Oh, man. I am awful at picking favorites... so I'll go with my favorite SERIES of books ;).
The "Women's Murder Club" series by James Patterson (1st to Die, 2nd Chance, 3rd Degree, 4th of July, The 5th Horseman, The 6th Target, 7th Heaven, and now The 8th Confession)
The "Prey" novels by John Sanford (there are currently 18 (I think, I could be wrong) written from 1989 to 2008
Harry Potter
Twilight
Nicholas Sparks books (specifically the cliche ones that make me cry like The Notebook, A Walk to Remember, A Bend in the Road, Nights in Rodanthe, The Guardian, The Wedding....)

The Myst series of books by Rand and Robin Miller. Srsly. Very impressive.
Also:
The Vlad Taltos series by Steven Brust
The Council Wars series by John Ringo
Any Drizzt Do'Urden novel by R.A. Salvatore

All the "___ in death" books by J.D. Robb.

Freaking amazing!

That's a tough call. I've got a few I love to bits.

The Black Company (specifically, the first three, but the whole series is fantastic) by Glen Cook
The Dark Tower (especially Wizard and Glass) by Stephen King
It, The Stand, Dreamcatcher, and Bag of Bones by Stephen King
Jurassic Park & The Lost World by Michael Crichton
The entire Royal Assassin/Fool series by Robin Hobb
The Liveship Traders series by Robin Hobb
Until I Find You by Jon Irving

All fantastic reads

It scared the bloody crap out of me.

The movie was fine, but the book itself made me utterly terrified of clowns. ha.

Amazingly written book though.

The time travellers wife, Audrey Niffenegger

Gone with the Wind, Margaret Mitchell.
I must have read it about 5 times. :D:D

More books to add to my lists yay!

OOOOH! Where to begin?!

I LOVE The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice. She just conjures up such beautiful images.
Harry Potter series.
Adrian Mole series - definitely worth a read. The first few books really reminded me of how dramatic I and my friends were when we were 13!
The Other Boleyn Girl - even though it's very historically inaccurate, I still love it.
1984 - just brilliant.

But overall, I'm not a big fan of fiction. My fave non fiction books are 'The World According To Clarkson' series by Jeremy Clarkson which is just a compilation of his columns from The Times. Comedy gold!!

Lord of the Rings
Harry Potter
His Dark Materials

Oh, this is a toughie, yo. I have more than one fave. I'll just name a few. ;D

Timeline-Michael Crichton
The Great Gatsby-F. Scott Fitzgerald
A Bend in the Road-Nicholas Sparks
Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas-James Patterson
The Harry Potter Series
The Twilight Series

Harold and the Purple Crayon.

I love and have read almost all the VC Andrew books. LOVE HER BOOKS!

chronicle of a death foretold by gabriel garcia marquez. (we read it in spanish class in high school and then i wanted to read the english version too. it was soooo good like a spanish soap opera!)

a child called "It!" by dave pelzer (the saddest most horrible true story i have ever read)

a million little pieces by james frey

suzannes diary for nicholas by james patterson (i cried so much at the end of this book. I read the book literally in a day. I loved the movie that christina applegate did of this book.)

I loved jane eyre by charlotte bronte.

Ok i could go on and on but you get the point i have a lot of favorites.

i love Alice in Wonderland

it is such a fantastic book and really makes you think

it has been my fav since i was a kid and continues to be to this day

My favorite childhood book was Chicken Soup with Rice by Maurice Sendak. I think Where The Wild Things Are is overrated. lol. I re-read these books constantly: She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb and I'm With The Band: Confessions of a Groupie by Pamela DesBarres.

Same as I mentioned in a previous thread: Their Eyes Were Watching God, by Zora Neale Hurston. If I had to pick one, that's it.
Of course, there's also Harry Potter (books 3 and 6 are my favorites).
My favorite children's book is Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech. I still have my original copy from 5th grade.
