Mine is the Inkheart Trilogy by Corneilia Funke. She's a great author.
Which is yours, and why?

I loved Rant by Chuck Palahnuik
Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut might be my favorite though

das glasperlenspiel (the glass bead game) by hermann hesse would be mine.

also really like:
the subterraneans by jack kerouac
a separate peace by john knowles

and could not survive for more than a few days w/o:
crc handbook of chem and physics

1984 by Orwell
Of Mice and Men by Steinbeck

I think those are probably my two favorites.

Give an honorable mention to The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. I read the whole series in a couple months.

book/movie - The Outsiders

"LETS DO IT FOR JOHNNY!"
"stay gold ponyboy"

i'll give it up for hitchhikers, i've had the mostly harmless tag since i joined and my first sig was:




A couple other books i really like are The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury and Catch-22 by Joseph Heller

The Hitchhiker's Guide changed my freakin' life!

But I also enjoyed the Harry Potter series, even if the ending was a typical hero storyline.
World War Z was enjoyable as well.

ANY Stephen King (because he is the best writer ever)

and

House of Leaves

because its super TRIPPY

EDIT: OH AND The Ruins. Movie looks like the worst thing ever made, not like the book at all. But the book is nonstop on the edge of your seat action, each chapter is a cliffhanger, took me 2 days to read it because I couldnt put it down. Amazing writing.

Maximum Ride. Who doesn't love a book about kids with wings?

Any book by the author of Darren Shan.

I know everyone's gonna laugh at me, but Harry Potter. The ending was so perfect!!! And Rowling didn't leave out a thing in the entire series, and made use of every event and item in the earlier books.

I love Harry Potter I even listen to the band Harry and the Potters.

haha

[except I HATED the epilogue thing at the end of the Deathly Hallows. Ugh it was too fan fictiony]

Everything written by David Sedaris is amazing. I spent an entire summer, three years ago, jetting frequently from one West Coast airport to another, and I bought every one of his books along the way in one airport bookstore or another.

I also love Augusten Burroughs. And Nick Hornby.

Ohh I love Me Talk Pretty One Day.
That book had me laughing out loud.

oh HELL YEAH!!! That was the first one I read and it IS laugh-out-loud funny! He's called the greatest American humorist since Mark Twain and I'd have to say I whole heartedly agree.

You should read Running With Scissors by Augusten Burrough. FREAKIN' hilarious, in the same vein as David Sedaris, just a little "darker" because he had a more f*cked up childhood than Sedaris did.

Hahah okay thanks! I will certainly check it out.

Im reading Dean Koontz's Twilight Eyes right now. Pretty weird.

I love the book Snakehead by Anthony Horwitz. It rocks!
