Terry pratchett's Discworld series. There are enough generic fantasy books in the world so I just love how his books never really take themselves seriously.
Of the Discworld books my favorite books are the Guards based books, but I love all of them.

I also have been enjoying Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot books, its always fun trying to work out who done it...

Oh! Enders Game? I really loved that one. Wonderful, it is, really.
So, I read a LOT. More then any of you can ever imagine. Some of my favorites? I'll list them. Note that these are only SOME of my favorites. The list is too long to list.

Abhorsen Series by Garth Nix
Enders Game
Jane Eyre
Pretty much anything by Tamora Pierce.
The Chrestomanci series by Diana Wynne Jones
Anything by Anna McCaffrey
Dune by Frank Herbert
Also
The Sight by David Clemmits(sp?)-Davis

So, I read a mixture of Adult and Teen Junk. I don't really care.

I love fantasy and science-fiction. I love the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett. (Especially, the Tiffany Aching Adventures.)

I'm reading mainly fantasy books (e.x.Tolkien's, Pratchet's novels/stories) but I like also Harry Potter(hmm maybe I'm too old for that, but still to bad it ends )
and here are my other favourites:
-A thousnad Years of Loneliness (G.G. Marquez)
-Shadow of the Wind (C.R.Zafon) though I'm not sure with the title in english 🙂
-Wilk Stepowy(H.Hesse)
-The Witcher (A.Sapkowski)
-Land of Laughts (Jonathan Carroll)
-The Brave New World (Huxley's)

I think there is more, but I just cant recall it now 😛

Hmm. Don't really read many books. I'm currently reading Battle Royale and the A Series of Unfortunate Events series. Call me childish, but I've been reading the books since sixth grade and I really want to know how it ends.

I used to read a lot. Now all the heavy literature that I get in English class bascially covers it. If you're wondering, I thought that the Catcher inthe rye was good.

You mean Series of Unfortunate Events? It makes you want to review the entire series despite knowing it isn't that good.

I never said that it wasn't good.

I would say I am a fan of fantasy and sci-fi for the most part.

My two favorite authors would have to be Issac Asimov and Orson Scott Card.

(I cant wait for Cards two new books that will be set in the Enderverse to come out, one fills the gap between Ender's Game and Speaker and the other is the tie in between the Shadow Saga and the Ender Saga. No release date yet, but probably both within the next 2-3 years.)

And a good TV series. Right now, I'm pretty high on Clive Barer and his 'Galilee'. Or Maria Edgeworth's 'Castle Rackrent' (it seemed boring at the beginning, but is quite ironic).
