Some of my favorite books of all time:

The Outsiders by SE Hinton
Seabiscuit by Laura Hillenbrand
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Harry Potter Series by JK Rowling
Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith

I also enjoyed The Twilight Series, although Bella and Edward were quite irritating.

Dan Brown's... really kept me moving..
Howl's Moving Castle.. I appreciated it more in the movie..
Ang Paboritong Libro ni Hudas (The Favorite book of Judas) by BOB ONG.. it's superb!.. very hilarious.. I wonder if it has translated copies.. his works is mostly in Filipino language!

and about Twilight.. I loved it.. but Edward is way to perfect..no stains at all! That made me want to read it when he's out of the scene..
well that's bad for me to say, i guess..

I just wanna ask.. do anyone know the "midnight sun" - the fifth book of Twilight.. it leaked in the net.. it's not yet finish though.. and it's the reason why it takes time for Stephanie to release the fifth book.. maybe she's revising it, or worse, changing it.. and my brilliant cousin has a copy!~

Just wanted to pop in here and say that Post Office by Bukowski is rich and hilarious. Also, the Pendragon Cycle by Stephen R. Lawhead is impressive.

1.The Black Swan
2.Freakonomics
3.Outliers
4.The complete Sherlock Holmes

Just one of them is fiction.

Postcards From No-Man's Land, by Aidan Chambers. Amazing, brilliant, somewhat depressing, but wow! It's one of my favorite books of all time.

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce is incredible. James Joyce is just incredible. I should've been reading this man's works a long time ago.

Just got to add an additional book that I've read since. Ursula K. Le Guin has a book entitled Lavinia that is a fantasy set in Trojan times. It's a brilliantly crafted epic tale of a war that was fought for a woman who loves peace. I'd seriously recommend it.

I know Aqua said this one but I highly recommend Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin. I also loved Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Piccoult and Deadly Little Secrets by Laurie Faria Stolarz. I can't think of any more off the top of my head.
