Hmmmm...It's hard for me to chose my fav books Oo'
Well.. I really like Prachett's books, Tales of the Earthsea by Ursula Le Guin, I'm quite sentimental about Chronicles of Narnia...
Ohhh, I know! It will be K-Pax and Stardust :D K-Pax because it was so mysterious and interesting. And Stardust has its own unique climat and it's quite romantic :)

Uh...I read a lot of books in my time, so hard to remember...

Here's the few I can remember:
Halo: The fall Of Reach
Goodnight Mr. Tom <---I was forced to read that 2 years ago, damn school. -_-
The Hobbit
The first two Harry Potter books <---Out of interest, good ol' childhood.
Charlotte's Web <---Another book I was forced to read about 6 years ago.



...that's it, damn my memory....

I've read too many books for my own good, but I'll try and say my most frequently read ones, I guess.

I am the Messenger by Markus Zusak
The Boat Who Wouldn't Float by Farley Mowat
Anything by Tamora Pierce, but I really like The Protector of the Small quartet


...and that's all I can remember right now.

Hmmmm. I remember Matilda was one I would always re-read. I recentley finished Devil in the Details by Jennifer Traig. It's pretty good. Though, she tends to rant.

As far as series go, there's the Warrior sereis ( which is the source of my not-so-known nickname: Kage) the Percy Jackson sereis was only that was I liked. Easy. XD

I do more writing than reading...so...I don't recall much DX.

Well, November doesn't really recall all the books I've read and enjoyed ^^;;.

Recently I read Ishiguro's "The Remains of the Day", it was very deep and rather tragic. Philip Pullman is an amazing author truly, particularly the His Dark Materials series. Burnett's "A Little Princess" has been a favorite of mine since I was a little girl ... Somehow I remember Lowry's "Messenger" fondly.

Will update this post if necessary :)

(The next day T..T): Oh, right - and "The Trigger" by Clarke and Kube-McDowell, as well as Clarke's "2001: A Space Odyssey."

"Fire Bringer" and "The Secret Garden" were good books. I used to read the Erin Hunter series all the time, but I don't read them as often.

"Number the Stars" by Lois Lowry was a great book, but I didn't like "The Giver." Oh yeah, Tamora Pierce is an excellent writer. :) I liked "Wolf Brother."

Chronicles of Narnia was good, too, however I enjoyed the books more than the movie.

Silmarillion, haha. I read that in elementary school - couldn't get past the language. xD Oh well. It was fun - I should read it again.

I was looking for more books by Astrid, actually. xDD I only know Pippi Longstocking.
