i recently read Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz. At the moment it is my favorite book but I also like The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley and Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice. It's so hard to choose a favorite.
Well, besides Harry Potter and LOTR books, one of my favorites right now is Crime and Punishment; surprisingly, im being forced to read it at school, and i love it.
I fell in love with Hope for the Butterflies by Trina Paulus. So inspiring.
But my all time favorite would be the Harry Potter series and Sherlock Holmes stories. I'm through with the adventures of Sherlock Holmes, as well as the Memoirs. I'm also done with The Hound of the Baskervilles and is currently halfway through the A Study in Scarlet
