Oh, Anthem. I remember the day I grabbed Anthem from the library. It was the only Ayn Rand book I felt brave enough to read, because it was the only one less than A BILLION pages.
And John Green Books, I've read Looking for Alaska and The Fault in Our Stars. I did not like LfA at ALL, but TFIOS was pretty good. Not sure if I want to give his other books a shot, though

XD Completely forgot about Harry Potter-_-;; I'm a terrible fangirl. Though I must admit much as I like them I haven't been able to re-read any of them since book 5 came out... too much emotional trauma. LOL

1. Haunted - James Herbert
I think I read that book 8 times, both in french and original version in english. This is my favorite book of all times.
2- Anything (seriously anything, but mostly Arkward Situations For Men) by Danny Wallace
The guy is a comedic genius. And in my head he is a sassy British man, so it adds in the amazingness.
3- Sherlock Holmes
Dah... Classic.

Oh gosh, I totally forgot Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy!
I love that book's humor and Marvin is my favorite character!
ALSO, my ultimate favorite childhood book series A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. I have all thirteen books in the series and it was a big part of my childhood. ; u ;

John Dies at the End by David Wong There are some seriously profound moments in this book that really make you think and the horror in the book is genuinely scary - plus it's all topped with a generous helping of dick jokes.
The Fallen by Thomas E. Sniegoski My mum got me this one for reasons unknown. The kinds of book I usually read don't tend to have half naked men on the front cover but I wasn't about to complain and I ended up really enjoying it. Angels are dicks.
The Keys to the Kingdom series by Garth Nix I'd love to give a quick synopsis of these books but it would soon dissolve into disjointed babbling about how great it is and "akdjafjafgrt so good" so bollocks to that idea I'll just tell you to go read it instead.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams The greatest trilogy of five that ever was. Seriously is there anybody who doesn't like it?
Any of Lovecraft's stories I just really like his stuff.
Wait. I said five already? Damn...
