    About anything by Charles ****ens, Edgar Allen Poe... I love classic literature especially by British authors. The complete works of Shakespeare. I also like romantic British authors like Georgette Heyer and Jane Austin, the Bronte's.

    The newer (modern) series of books that I am reading now is "A Song of Ice and Fire" by George RR Martin:) I love Tyrion and Daenerys (as characters, obviously:) in the series of books and the HBO series.

    !!!!! I am so happy to see this! I love that book. I've bought three copies and I have given away all but one, the first one to an ex-boyfriend the second to a co-worker and I kept the last one ( The one I read first ) for myself. The Wise Man's Fear was amazing too. :D

    absolutely. the other 4 in my top 5: The Fountainhead, War and Peace, Les Miserables, and Raise High the Roofbeam Carpenters and Seymour: an Introduction.

    but that's just pleasure reading. books for spiritual growth (so far) if anyone is interested in that: The Barbarian Way, Crazy Love, Stepping Heavenward, Absolute Surrender, and anything written by CS Lewis.

    If you like fantasy you can't go wrong with A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones). But my fav. would have to be the Robin Hobb trilogies Farseer and Tawny Man. I read Name of the Wind but just didn't care for it, and haven't read the second one yet.

    As for Urban Fantasy, I give votes to the Shifters series by Rachel Vincent and Fever series by Karen Moning, Anything my Richelle Mead.

    Favorite books of all time:
    Battle Royale, Cat's Cradle, The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Perks of Being a Wallflower (movie coming out), and Daughter of the Forest (also fantasy)

    Also, why has no one mentioned Hunger Games (lol)?

    Fantasy:

    A Song of Ice and Fire by George R R Martin (Tryion is also.my favorite by far)
    The Legend of Drizzt by R A Salvatore, part of the Forgetten Realms series.

    loving that i'm getting sent in all different directions! I have read the Outlander Series (aweosme) Game of Thrones on a waiting list at the library. Have read the Loop, so great! I like to read books that are movies, movies just never do enough for me, but I like to know what people are talking about lol.

    Hmm I have so many!

    The Firekeeper Series by Jane Lindskold has been my favorite for years but they are slowly losing their edge.

    I loved the His Dark Materials saga (Golden Compass, etc). By Phillip Pullman

    Right now I'm starting A Game of Thrones, so we'll see how that plays out.

    I really enjoyed The Hunger Games. I felt that it was a bit.....simple, but still really good.

    I enjoy all my supernatural series, but the single book I love most is Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (John Berendt).

    I love any true story books, I enjoyed reading a book called Mothers Day, it was based on true events, and basically a thriller :)
