:lol: I'm sure someone's already posted something like this before, but oh well.
My favorite books are: Left behind series, Lemony Snicket, Sherlock Holmes, :roll: I also like some of Shakespear's stuff too, like Twelfth Night and Romeo and Juliet.

Shakespeare doesn't really count as a book.

But anyway:
The Lord of the Rings
Deenie
The New Jedi Order series
I Love You Forever
The Paper Bag Princess
The Devil's Arithmetic
Dark Saber
The Mists of Avalon
I am Mordred
I am Morgan le Fay
The Outsiders (The ultimate YA novel)
Any adult fairy tale retelling (the Ellen Datlow/Terry Windling series is great)

"Fight Club" and "Survivor" by Chuck Palahniuk are both amazing. "Bluebeard" and "Slaughterhouse-Five" by Kurt Vonnegut, who is one of my favourite authors... so is Palahniuk, really. "Born Confused" by Tanuja Desai Hidier. "1984" by George Orwell. "Memoirs of a Geisha" by Arthur Golden". "The Mermaids Singing" by Lisa Carey. "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" by Horace McCoy.

Many others. Books are so amazing.

Bluebeard. Ew. I hope you don't mean Atwood. My friends and I have come to the conclusion that she eats small children. She is very scary.

They're all just as good.
Pride and Prejudice, that's a funny book. Oh, and I love the Laura Ingalls series. Hehe

Has anyone read 'The Vision'? That's a real good book. I forgot the author though.

No, honey, by Kurt Vonnegut. It's one of the best books ever.

Margaret Atwood scares me too.
