Your favourite books

Well, since some time ago I started reading lots of romance/fantasy/supernatural series. So my Top list will contain some of them.

Laurell K. Hamilton (only the first 7 books of Anita Blake)(supernatural)
Robin D. Owens - Summoning Series(fantasy)
E. Vaughan - Chronicles of the Warlands(fantasy)
Emma Bull - War For the Oaks(supernatural)
Martine Leavitt - Keturah and Lord Death(supernatural)
Wolfgang von Goethe - Faust I
Frederica de Cesco - most of her books(romance)


Tell me your favourites^-^ The genre doesn't matter, but please mention it.

Keturah and Lord Death is an amazing book!! No one ever knows about it though...

My favorite books:
Twilight and New Moon - Stephanie Meyer (Eclipse was good, but not as good)
Poison Study, Magic Study, Fire Study - Maria V. Snyder
Cast in Shadow, Cast in Courtlight, Cast in Secret - Michelle Sagara (known as the Elantra series)
Grave Suprise, Ice Cold Grave - Charlaine Harris
Eragon - Christopher Paolini (Eldest was good, but not as good. I hope Brisinger is better)
Vampire Acadamy, Frostbite - Richelle Mead
Wicked Lovely - Melissa Marr (the sequel, Ink Exchange, is pretty good as well)

I know that there's more, many more, but I'm too lazy to go to my room and look.

I don't really know but i'm reading a book called The Dark Tower
and there is the Midnight which is about the cats story

wha? What about Breaking Dawn? ^^

My favorites are the Twilight series, Vampire Academy and all of the Tamora Pierce books.

Wow. Favorite books...
Right now, I'm really enjoying the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan (and have been for the past three years...dude, this is taking forever to read). I also pretty much adore anything by Charles Dickens or Jane Austin. Another series I had to make sure I took a few books of to college is the Diskworld books by Terry Pratchett. I'm currently in the middle of rereading "Thud!".

I've read the Gemma Doyle series and I beg to differ. It drags a LOT and there are huge plot holes. And the third book was a major let down. I was so angry at the end...

Well, it didn't drag that much if you're in the right mindset, but I was so upset when that one guy died! (Omitting the name for future readers). He was my favorite character. It was an interesting plot, though, with some fantastical world set right in the middle of the rigorous, society-ruled place.

Yeah, but you can find a story with "some fantastical world set right in the middle of society" in a number of books. Tithe is one, with the fey living amongst us. Same with any number of vampire novels. There are also many where the main character (most often female) can travel into another mystical world. What I'm trying to say is, the books weren't all that unique, and it had to have been written MUCH better to make it onto my favorite book list.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dragging... i thought of it as setting up the themes
yes i hated the ending "the one who was sacrificed into tree form..." was my favorite person (not disclosing the name either)
and boorish pippa, i always knew she was creepy inside

Yeah. Pippa was totally deranged. I did like those girls she befriended in the other Realm.

I always knew what would happen to Pippa... Even when she was alive she scared me. But the plot did drag. I was falling asleep while reading and that NEVER happens to me.
