<p>Harry Potter is my favorite. I also like LOTR. </p>
<p>But outside of those, (and I HIGHLY recommend this book) The Brothers K is an excellent book.</p>
<p>Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is my favorite.</p>
<p>For nostalgia sake, I’ll throw in the Arthur books. I loved those.</p>
<p>The Book Thief, omg… that book just made me laugh, cry, get angry, feel sad, feel happy, feel adventurous. that book was the best… and the end was so… its not like its a surprise either, since the narrator tells you what happens…its just how it happens. </p>
<p>by far, the best for-fun novel i’ve ever read… and the best world war two novel i’ve ever read…i’m gonna try to reread it this summer…</p>
<p>that and special topics in calamity physics. i couldnt’ put those two down!!!</p>
<p>I think either Generations, by William Streuss and Neil Howe, or To Kill A Mockingbird, by Harper Lee</p>
<p>The Catcher in the Rye.</p>
<p>Best. Book. Ever.</p>
<p>If not, then anything by T.A. Barron is good.</p>
<p>Catcher in the Rye is good, but I agree that it’s overrated… As far as Salinger goes, I prefer Franny and Zooey. Dunno if I could choose a BEST book though. Really liked Siddhartha the first time I read it, but less so the second… Hmmm… The Bell Jar, Alice in Wonderland, Brave New World, One Hundred Years of Solitude… The problem is that they’re all so different that it becomes impossible to really compare them with one another.</p>
<p>Well… I have 35 books on my to-read list, so maybe when I’m done I’ll have a winner. Probably not, though.</p>
<p>the perks of being a wallflower is really good. i loved it when i read it. but i’ve read alot better books since.</p>
<p>Best books I’ve ever read~
The Perks of Being a Wallflower 
The Catcher in the Rye
To Kill a Mockingbird
Slaughterhouse-Five
The Great Gatsby</p>
<ol>
<li> It’s one of the books that just can’t be made into a movie.</li>
</ol>
<p>Crime and Punishment - Fyodor Dostoevsky
The Poisonwood Bible - Barbara Kingsolver
Catch 22 - Joseph Heller
Heart of Darkness - Joseph Conrad</p>
<p>And some less school-related books:
Anything and everything by Steven Brust, David Mitchell, and/or Terry Pratchett - amazing, amazing writers, all of them.
A Song of Ice and Fire series - GRRM (if you like high fantasy)
The Things They Carried - Tim O’Brien
Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell - Susanna Clarke</p>
<p>I’ll go ahead and second Harry Potter (self-explanatory . . .) and Where the Red Fern Grows. Add the Redwall series to the list too because, holy ****, the food descriptions in those books are amazing; the other qualities aren’t that great, but the foooood . . .</p>
<p>I’ll tentatively suggest books written by Guy Gavriel Kay. Some people adore him to death, some people can’t stand him. I can’t stand him for the most part. His prose comes across as stilted and unnatural to me, except for certain situations. But when it does come together, Jesus Christ, he’s amazing.</p>
<p>Watchmen. Its also one of the books that can’t be made into a movie.</p>
<p>Never read Wall Flower, but I’ve heard good things about it. I guess I’ll have to take a look at it one of these days.
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand, Gentlemen and Players by Joanne Harris (the one who wrote Chocolat), Swann’s Way by Marcel Proust, and An American Tragedy by Theodore Dreiser are all must-reads in my opinion.</p>
<p>Without question, The Sun Also Rises is the best book I’ve ever read.</p>
<p>Fountainhead by Ayn Rand</p>
<p>one of my fav’s</p>
<p>Roark ftmfw!</p>
<p>Perks has never seemed particularly spectacular.</p>
<p>The Count of Monte Cristo-Alexandre Dumas
The Firm-John Grisham</p>
<p>its good, but the best is going a bit far…(in reference to perks)</p>
<p>Any Julie Anne Peters book. She’s even my friend on Facebook, haha.</p>
<p>Animal Farm by George Orwell… best scholastic book ever.</p>
<p>The Road .</p>
<p>I love reading books and I do so often, so it is hard for me to choose my favorite one. I love almost all the books I read for different reasons.
But I suppose the ones I really like are . . .
A Certain Slant of Light
Before I Die (though it was a fairly easy read and not a typical book for me to read, but it really got to me)
umm . . . most books by Jodi Picoult</p>
