Just asked what were you top 5 most hated books, but now, what are you top 5 favorite books?
In no particular order, here's mine:
1. "Oh The Places You Go" by Dr. Suess: I remember buying this book the day that it came out (I was and remain a huge Dr. Suess fan) and must have read a zillion times over. It's a great book and it still holds a prominent place on my book shelf today.
2. "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card: Was assigned this book in ninth grade, and read it over night (as did the half of the class that started reading it the day it was assigned; the other half finished the next night). I've never quite got why everyone likes this book so much, but it's awesome all the same. The Bean series is great too.
3. "Dune" by Frank Herbert: One of the greatest epics ever written, and a brilliant story. Sequels were terrible, but the original is awesome.
4. "Iliad" by Homer: Read this book for the first time in seventh grade, and I read about once a year. They just don't write books like this anymore.
5. "The Giver" by Lois Lowry: Ever since I was little, I loved to read, but it was "The Giver" that got me to start writing. The book is exceptional, and I think it has more depth than "1984," even though that was an influence.
