I just finished reading The Scottish Prisoner by Diana Gabaldon and next on my list is The Sending by my favourite Aussie author- Isobelle Carmody.
I have my fingers crossed for a Kindle for Christmas and the first books I'm getting are a whole load of Terry Pratchetts!

I just finished re-reading The Hunger Games series and I'm currently reading Ender's Game. I have a lot of "favorite books" but my all-time favorite is probably "The God of Small Things" by Arundhati Roy.

I recommend Antonya Nelson, Francine Prose, and Tobias Wolff. Blue Angel by Prose and This Boy's Life by Wolff are must-reads.

Picking my favorite book is really hard because I read a lot. I've read over 100 books this year. Some of my favorite series are The Hunger Game and The Lord of the Rings.
I'm currently reading Ceremony in Death by J.D. Robb and Taking Charge of Your Fertility.

I have a lot of favorite books! Right now I am reading "The Lovely Bones". Its kind of slow right now though, so I haven't been reading it much.
My favorite series is the Stephanie Plum stories by Janet Evanovich. She just came out with #18, and as soon as my mom finishes it, I'm stealing it from her!

hm.... I don't know if I can name my most favourite book.
I LOVED memoirs of a geshia, I could say that would be up top on my favs list.
Currently, I'm reading Interview with the vampire. It's good, although not what I was expecting. I'm actually a little disappointed (so far) because I LOVE vampires, so I thought this would be amazing.... it's ok...

I'm currently reading the Hunger Games and really like the first book so far. I just finished The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind and that was really good too.
My favorite book would probably be the Poisonwood Bible.

i really want to read the hunger game series though before the movie comes out!

ooh so many good recs, thanks! I have the print copies of all 3 hunger games books, they're so hard to put down! good reads.
I'll have to check out some of these. I bought Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, and I'm a couple chapters in, but since I'm on Christmas break from school, I have lots of time to read!
--> loved the sookie stackhouse books. and I'm loving that with the kindle no one can judge me by my books cover! LOL!

I have a lot of favorite books as well! To name a few: the Perks of being a wallflower, The Help, Life of Pi
I just read The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein and loved it.

I loved the Hunger Games trilogy, definitely in my top 5 favorite books. Also, The Art of Racing in the Rain is amazing one of my favorites.
I'm just started reading the The Woman's Murder club series from James Patterson. I"m on #2, very good and intriguing, however a little dark at times.

@PitBulLover: Oh! I loved the perks of being a wallflower too! Gee, I read that a LONG time ago! Almost forgot about it!

I'm hoping for a Kindle too! I most recently finished the Hunger Games series, and am now reading the Wind-Up Bird Chronicles by Haruki Murakami. I don't know that I have a favorite book, but when I finished One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (way back when), I cried and started reading it immediately over again. But I wouldn't necessarily call it my FAVORITE book...

My favourite book of all time is "Anne of Green Gables". Currently, I'm not really reading anything...But if I could be reading something it would probably be "The Help". I started reading it while I was pregnant but never finished it. I watched the movie and want to reread the book!

World War Z was REALLY good and I was surprised at how deep and detailed the author went into when writing these stories. He touched the socio-economics, politics, international relations and the snippets of people's lives and the impact of this "Zombie" war. We just got a Nook so we are pretty excited to use it! I second the Hunger Games. Ken Follet's new book was quite the epic but very good as well if you like his other books (World Without End, Pillars of the Earth).

The House Behind the Cedars by Charles Chesnutt
Not reading anything at the moment.

My favorite book of all time is Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. It is amazing.
My favorite series of books is the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. Reader beware: there are 18 books in the series so it does get expensive. Especially when you want to read the next book as soon as you finish the last one and your e-reader makes that possible.
hostess / wonderful watermelon / 39513 posts
I like Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe and books by Jhumpa Lahiri.
I am trying to read Baby 411 right now!

@AutumnLove I *love* "Interpreter of Maladies"! Every story in that book is amazing.

pomelo / 5321 posts
I don't know if I can pick a favorite! I love the Harry Potter series and I'm a huge Jodi Picoult fan. Oh, and I loved "Water for Elephants."
I'm currently reading "The Escape Artist" by Diane Chamberlain. I've read a handful of her books and have liked them a lot. I'm hoping to read the hunger games series next.

I recently finished Sarah's Key which was very, very good. I read it immediately after reading The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, which was also very good.
I'm currently reading The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (I know, I'm way behind the times here). I also just purchased several books to read whilst on holiday next week and have put a few on my wish list waiting for the price to drop - these are the ones I can remember.
- Place Called Freedom - Ken Follett
- Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? - Mindy Kaling (wishlist)
- The Night Circus - Erin Morgensterm (wishlist)

@sunshine44: I saw it on stage when I was in PEI a couple of years ago - it was SO good.

I can't name a favorite!! I really enjoyed the hunger games books. I got them for super cheap on the kindle before they became popular. I'm currently re-reading Lee Child's first Jack Reacher book for my mystery book club in January.
You can sometimes find good free or super cheap books for the kindle on some websites and facebook. I like frugalgirls the best. They suggest other things, as well but they usually have good book suggestions. Do you use goodreads? I'm on there and get a lot of good book suggestions from friends who post books they've read or books they want to read.

@mediagirl: I love Goodreads. It's such a good place for recos from friends.
After visiting New Orleans last month, I got into reading Anne Rice again so I'm reading The Witching Hour. My favorite books are by Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Kurt Vonnegut. I also love Jhumpa Lahiri. While on maternity leave, I read Cutting for Stone and absolutely loved it.
