I'm not going to list all 10 cause that'd take me a while to decide, but some of my all-time favorites are The Inferior by Peadar O'Guilin, The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, I Am David by Annie Holmes, and The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. I like a lot of Margaret Peterson Haddix's books, too.

I saw the movie I am David, and it was excellent. I never got around to reading the book, though. I never read any Lord of the Rings books, but The Hobbit is the prelude to the books, right?


Anyway, good choice of books. Also, who's Margaret Peterson?

and, I wasn't asking for ten, I was asking for your favourite. I named ten, but I'm not requiring you to.

Coldplaya, The Twilight movies ruined the books. Robert Pattinson looks like a homeless douchebag with no personality. Kristin Stewart looks like a prostitute. They rest of the guys usually just have their shirt off in the movie.

1) The Catcher in the Rye

2) The World According to Garp

3) The Underland Chronicles series by Suzanne Collins(mostly because the fanon is so epic)

4) The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins (for the atmosphere, characterizations, world-building, and yes, the fanon, which also rocks)

5) The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

6) Life, the Universe, and Everything

7) The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

8) 1984

9) A Confederacy of Dunces

10) Patriot Games

the Catcher in the rye is just . . . wow. Same with Garp. Words cannot describe how awesome those packages of words are.

Catcher in the Rye. I love Holden Claufield's attitude towards everything. So casual and cool, but so many problems.

It's hard ranking books, and at 18 I can admittedly say that I'm may not be versed enough in literature to rate such a thing as a book, even though I'm quite the bookworm...

Well, I'll just list some of my favorite books, without attributing them ranks.

Siddhartha, Hermann Hesse
Steppenwolf, Hermann Hesse
The divine comedy, Dante Alighieri
Twenty thousand leagues under the sea, Jules Verne
Thus spoke Zarathustra, Friedrich Nietzsche
Beyond theology, Alan Watts
I, Robot, Isaac Asimov

These are only a few, but I actually like mostof what the above authors wrote.

I'm currently reading Milan Kundera's ''The Unbearable Lightness of Being''

Yeah, think you mixed up the numbers there. It's supposed to be the other way around >_>

But maybe THG will catch up with the release of Mockingjay. Maybe.
