I've never been a reader, but when I do I prefer fantasy. Soo.. I suppose Harry Potter is my favorite book series, Half Blood Prince probably being my favorite. I also just got into The Hunger Games, haha. Not a big fan of the writing if I'm being honest, but the whole concept fascinates me.

Has to be Percy Jackson series (both) but I do love Ali Sparkes too... I could go on, they're all so nice to me :3

Black Cat · 28th Dec 2011, 06:21 PM

My favorite book changes almost as often as my underwear. I just finished Alice Walker's The Color Purple and I was amazed, so I'd say that is my current favorite book.

duriru · 28th Dec 2011, 06:28 PM

I love Lois Duncan's books

I could never pick just the one!

But, the most important ones I remember from one I was a kid:
His Dark Materials Trilogy, Phillip Pullman (Northern Lights, The Subtle Knife, The Amber Spyglass)
Anything Terry Pratchett
Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. AwesomeTolkein
A few by Victor Kelleher
The Farseer triology, Robin Hobb

... Just a few off the top of my head. I'm sure I've forgotten some momentously important one...

stupidIvan · 29th Dec 2011, 05:00 AM

Tie between the Mysterious Bennedict Society series by Trenton Lee Stewart, and The Haunted Bookshop by Christopher Morley. It's so hard to pick just one!
