So what IS your favourite book?

[fascinated]

It's really hard for me to give favorites because I love nearly every book I read.

Harry Potter! by J.K. Rowling. Come on...you can't help but love them. Good versus evil. Wands. Epic adventure.

The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. So good. So sad. So romantic. While the movie does a pretty good job of it, the book really is better.

Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger. Not a romance. But it makes you think (it made me think, anyway).

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. 'Nuff said.

Hamlet by William Shakespeare. I know this one isn't really a book, but it's another one that'll make you think.

The Pursuit of Happyness by Chris Gardner. I actually got the opportunity to hear him speak about his book. He said that they spent millions of dollars on the movie remaking his life when he did it for free, which is true. It's as good as the movie, but a lot different because he made it while raising his infant son (not a four year old like in the movie).

Not so much, but anything written by Melissa de la Cruz I like. They're girly books; good for a read at the beach.

Because of what they have meant to me and how they have helped me endure life, I will always love the Harry Potter series. I read read them time and again when I feel down, and it always gives me comfort, in a light reading that I have fond memories within. I love them not only because of the books in themselves but because of the people I have met because of them, how it has been something that has always connected me and my sister, how it was the reason I started writing myself and thus, in length, the reason I have had to not commit suicide in very difficult times of my life. So while it is only a series of books to some, to me they have changed my life. Call me a nerd if you will, that's just how it is.
