What's Your FAVORITE book ever?????

[Lady Whispers]

Sita Harker

On A Pale Horse by Piers Anthony. It's got some cool philosophy about death along with a great scifi/fantasy adventure!

Pale Horse is great! I think I read the entire Incarnations of Immortality. But it was a while ago.

I must say, the one that comes to mind is Trickster's Choice and Trickster's Queen. I just finished re-reading them for the... fourth time? And they were still very engaging, entertaining, and enjoyable.

My favorite books for re-reading are The Batimaeus Trilogy and The Lord of the Rings.

Hey, are those the books the movie "Sorcerer's apprentice" is based off of?

Well it would have to fall under an author, and that would be Tolkien  

[xXDragovian-SageXx]

The hard part about being a constant, consistent reader is that I have a lot of "favorite" books. These are books I like to reread on a regular basis. However, if I had to pick and choose one book/series each from sf and fantasy genres, I would have to say:

SF: Frank Herbert's Dune series (the original 6 books)
Fantasy: Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising Sequence

Even after all the years since I first read them, both these series still have the ability to move me out of the realm of everyday normality and transport me to other worlds/times/places.

i so much like what you said!

yes, i cannot see why anyone would want to be immersed in reality, as they do with some of these gritty movies...there is gritty reality everywhere anyway!

but to be transported to other worlds or realities, aye, that's the ticket.

The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch. heart  

[Sita Harker]

Full Tilt by Neal Shusterman  

[Beckygan]

Being a complete book worm, I can't really say what my favourite book is. But one book I love is (actually, it's a series . . .) the Kingdom series by Chuck Black. But a good dose of the Hunger Games and the Eragon series is great.

And also the Dragon Keeper series, the Gallagher Girls series, Janna Mystery series and Oathbreaker too . . . . . . . . Ha ha ha. I've got three shelves of books and some I still haven't read!

My favourite book?
Hard to say *looks at bookshelf (which is nearly full of beloved books)*
. . . . oh dear. Well I did enjoy the Host by Stephanie Meyer . . . and the books by Chuck Black . . . The Hunger Games and Gallagher Girls are pretty good and oh! Emily Rodda. Really enjoyed her books. And Oathsworn. But the second book kinda sucked. And I am number four. And the Maze Runner. And Alex Rider. And the Prophecy. The Book of Lies series. Dragonkeeper series

. . . well, any book that's good really. But if I really, really, really had to decide on one . . . The Prophecy by Dawn Miller. Really well done plot and everything. Oh, then there's the Last Sin Eater . . . I'll admit that there is no end.

isn't that disappointing? you find these authors that seem just great and they are popular so they start a series and then the second or third book is just a dud?!

if i have not mentioned them, i like John Crowley's mind twisting tales such as the AEgypt cycle.
