Well mine would either be "Nineteen Eighty-Four" By George Orwell.(I just finished reading it.) or "The Lost World" by Micheal Crichton.

I like "Nineteen Eighty-Four" for its' serious political message and it's definitely something I'll read again because I'm still too young to understand many other things in the book that are not blatantly shown on the pages clear as crystal.

I like the "The Lost World" the same reason I like Misheal Crichton. It's Crichtons' ability to make you believe whatever he is writing about is possible. He explains the science behind it then hooks you with these great sections such as !!!!!SPOILERS!!!!! Raptors chasing the jeep, the trailor, Dodgeson and his crew in the rex nest. !!!!!!END SPOILERS!!!!!!

Don't think I have one. I liked "The Da Vinci Code" though, although when they made a movie, I thought it was a bit too much of an overexposure.

I don't have one particularly favorite book. I have two most favorite authors though: J.R.R. Tolkien and Terry Brooks...so any book by them will be favorites. Oh, and any book by Agatha Christie is a favorite as well.

Where's Waldo has an intriguing and yet complex storyline, combined with a satisfying imagery representation. The Muffin Man is also a very messaged and revelation inspiring read. Some of the greatest literature to brace the human depths of imagination.

Either the Icewind Dale Trilogy, or the full Legend of Drizzt series by R.A. Salvatore. Personally I wouldn't say Drizzt Do'Urden is my favourite character in the Forgotten Realms, but the books are great.

My favorite book is "Maximum Ride: The Angel Experiment" by James Patterson. I love Patterson's work. He describes things perfectly even though he has been to the location only for a few days.

R.A. Salvatore is a good writer, I read the dark elf trilogy. quite enjoyable.... but his use of deus ex machina can get a bit annoying :(

my favorite book of all time is As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner

The Voyage of Jerle Shannara or those other two that I haven't read (I think it's the High Druid series)? And while I'm on it, I think as a whole The Scions series was better than the original trilogy, but individualy, they each fall short...

Yeap, and a new one just came out the other day if I'm not mistaken. I'll get to it eventually, but it isn't must read now material like they used to be.
