i duno why, but i was just wondering what everyone's favorite books were. i guess it'd be helpful to tell everyone why. also, you could write a small summery i guess and make recomendations. i'll start.
i guess one of my ultime favorite books is called Stravaganza: City of Masks by Mary Hoffman. it's a fantacy book. it's about this fifteen year old boy named Lucian. he has come down with cancer and is very weak. his dad finds him this magnificent book/journal. he gives it to him so he can write in it when he is too weak to talk. well, when Lucian falls asleep with this book in his hands, it takes him to a place called Belezza, Talia which is the equivialent to Venice, Italy in our world and time. It tells about his adventures and i don't want to give away any secrets, but it's a marvalous book that i'd recomend to anyone.

My favorite book is Amnesia Moon. Just because it's what I'm reading now and I enjoy it. (My favorite book is subject to change once I start a new one)

i just love ALL of Nicholas Sparks's Books.... they're all very romantic... and sometimes sad novels... Nicholas Sparks wrote the book A Walk To Remember, which I think a lot of you have seen the movie... he also wrote Message in a Bottle, which is also a movie... his latest book-turned-into-movie is The Notebook which is coming out in july i think.. i'm not sure... but here's a list of all his books so far...
1. The Notebook 2. Message in a Bottle 3. A Walk to Remember 4. The Rescue 5. A Bend in the Road 6. Nights in Rodanthe 7. The Guardian 8. The Wedding 9. I think its called Four Weeks with my Brother, I'm not sure though If you're into the whole romantic lovey dovey stuff... then i suggest these books..

QUOTE(PinoyOtaku @ Jun 3 2004, 1:24 AM) I'm quite fond of "The Da Vinci Code" and "Angels and Demons". I also thought "The Third World War" was interesting as well. OH MY GOD. I love Dan Brown's books. Angels and Demon and Da VInci Codes. Must be the best books I ever read. I read all of his books except for 1.  Everybody must read Da Vinci Code. You'll love it. My other fave books is Harry Potter.

Haha, my friend is inlove with that book.  She was writing a story and named one of her characters Sarah Spyglass and I named one of my characters Ken Asriel.
