Pendragon by D. J. MacHale is an awesome series. And Just recently(or a more than a few months ago) became a completed series. I started reading it in 6 or 7 grade. It is awesome and i would recommend it for anyone. Genre is Young Adult, fantasy, Science fiction novels( and yes, i looked up the genre) But seriously, put your sights on this series, I bet that you will love it. So anyone try and prove me wrong.
"She knows just how to hold me
and when her edges soften
her body is my coffin.
I know she drains me slowly
She wears me down to bones in bed...
must be the sign on my head
it says, "Oh, love me dead!"
Love me dead!"

I really like a lot of books, some of my faveourites though...

1) Harry Potter Series
2) The Chronicles of Narnia
3) Of Mice and Men
4) Chaos Walking Series Patrick Ness (immensly funny but sad at the same time)
5) My Sisters Keeper.

This is in no paticular order. There are many many others, I would be here for the rest of the year listing them :D

Definitely The Ice Wolf Trilogy by James Jenson and Brian Christie. They are the most well written books I've ever read, and I'm not exagerating. Those guys are masters at showing-not-telling.

I agree with many others on The Goose Girl, though I did like Enna Burning better!

Actor and the Housewife by Shannon Hale.

Maximum Ride by James Patterson. That series is full of plot holes, but I still love it. It's fantastic, and I LOVE Fang. He's so awesome!

NERDS by Michael Buckley. Just pure awesome. Every nerd's fantasy.

Despite the fact that a lot of people hate it (which I still don't get, lol) the Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini.

And last but not least (actually, probably my favorites) anything by John Green, especially Paper Towns. He's my idol!

Percy Jackson and the Olympians
Maximum Ride
Quantum Prophecy Trilogy
The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy
The Guardians
Mrs Frisby and the Rats of Nim
Animorphs (The First books that made me go gaga. I think everyone should include those books in their posts.)

I'd have to say that the best book I've ever read is Gracling I highly suggest this book to every one that is 15+

Another favorite read is the Dragon Keepers series, by Donita K. Paul. This is an amazing book series.

I'm about half way though A Clockwork Orange and it is honestly incredible.

Asking me to list the names of my favorite books is like asking how many hairs are on my head.

1. The 13 and 1/2 Lives Of Captain BlueBear by Walter Moers (these is an exceptionally long book I recommend it for those who love reading a work of art. THE PLOT IS AMAZING! In the beginning you think there's a whole lot of plot holes but no...! This book pwns all other books! Sorry!)
2. Rumo by Walter Moers (it's not exactly a sequel but it is connected to book the top book)
3. The City Of Dreaming Books by Walter Moers (again these are very long books but this trilogy will leave you dazzled by the description. It's definitely a showing-not-telling book!)

There are many many many many, etc... books I'd like to add here but it wouldn't all fit.
I follow four rules when writing
1. Don't think. Just write.
2.Never take the pencil from the page when writing
3.Don't erase. Even if what you wrote didn't make sense
4.No need for grammar,punctuation, or spelling when writing

And when your done writing you stop and break all the rules

1) The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde (Also every play he ever wrote, in particular An Ideal Husband)
Words cannot express the love I feel for Oscar Wilde.

2) I Capture the Castle - Dodie Smith
GREAT BOOK. Go read it. Now.

3) Going Postal - Terry Pratchett
I'm a big fan of most of the Discworld books, but this one wins. Close seconds being The Hogfather and Thud!.

I can't exactly pick just one favorite book, so here's a list of some of the best books I've read :D:

~~The Mortal Instruments series (City of Bones, City of Ashes, City of Glass, and City of Fallen Angels, which comes out in 2011!!) by Cassandra Clare. I absolutely love this series. The plot idea, the romance, the mystery, the fantasy...everything is awesome.
~~Kissed by an Angel trilogy (Kissed by an Angel, The Power of Love, and Soulmates) by Elizabeth Chandler. This series is just...wow. Of course, I'm biased because I love Angel mythology and stories, but it's still awesome. The whole time I was reading I was trying to guess who did what.
~~Of Mice and Men by John Steinback. This book was so bittersweet, but so amazing. I love his writing style.
~~Hush, Hush (Crescendo comes out in a few months!!!) by Becca Fitzpatrick. I couldn't put this book down once I got it. I love the romance in it, and it has Angels in it, too. Plus, Patch Cipriano is possibly one of the best fictional characters ever :D.
~~Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson. This is one of the best adventure books ever written, in my opinion. I love his writing style and the plot line.

There's my list! And, trust me, that's definitely not all the books I love, just a few of my favorites :).

Please forgive me if I over-edit anything of yours.
