I read all 8 books in one go... or I read the first chapters once... gave up... read the first half of the first book ... gave up again... then I read it again and understood more... then read all the way up to the half of book 5... forgot what had happened after a hiatus of a couple of years.. and started once again! from 1 to 8! haha... (oh yeah, the books are divided in two in Sweden).

Anyway!

My favourite books:

House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski
The Raw Shark Texts by Steven Hall
The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Haruki Murakami (I'll get read 1Q84 tomorrow!!!)

Then I also enjoy Paolini, Pratchett, Gaiman, and the Otori series...
 
There! Now nobody has to worry about bumping this topic.

To keep on topic, I'm going to recommend the Xanth series by Piers Anthony.
These can be understood by children, but they're equally enjoyable for people already inducted into The Adult Conspiracy.

I really liked the Winnetou series (even though I didn't finish the 3rd one yet

). It was written in german, so I got the translated version
It's a westerner about a man the comes to America from Germany, and befriends an Indian named Winnetou. As boring as this sounds, the books are incredible. There is a lot of action, and the series shows how Winnetou and Old Shatterhand (you'll have to read it to find out how he got his name) fight and live in the Old West. I really recommend these books.
 
"Gone" by Michael Grant. Its about how everyone over 16 disapeers from a town in teh USA. And people start to mutate and gain like powers and stuff due to radioactivity from the nuclear plant. Its currently a series of four.
 
'To Kill a Mockingbird'

I know it's a book that's been read a million times by just about everyone, but it's still a classic. I have it sitting on my bookshelf.
 
I can't think of a favourite book right now.

A really good book I read recently is, The Maze Runner. It's so enthralling.
Another great book that I also read not too long ago is Starclimber. I suggest that everyone pick it up if they see it at their local library or bookstore.

Well, recently I bought a book from Times and it's named a million shades of grey by Cynthia Kadohata. I'm somehow enjoying it.

Nighteen Eighty Four: for those who watch/watched big brother, this is what the shows are based on
Animal Farm: sounds childish but everyone reads the book in a different way, fab book
Flatland: requires you to be a bit of a nerd to be bothered to read
The Wasp Factory: just a general good book
The Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy: one book that you just cannot watch the movie instead (watch it after though)
