Pretty self-explainatory thread. But what books do you love?

Not in order:

1-His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman
Because it's probably one of the most well-written books I've ever read, and I think the story is fantastic. I love Lyra as a character, there's a perfectly crafted ending, and I love how controversial it can be.

2-Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (And probably I'll be able to add HBP) by JK Rowling
Because I think her writing technique just blossomed in this book, and the ANGST! I feed off it.

3-Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire
I have an obsession with everything Wicked/Elphie. I love this book. I love how it is so completely thought-provoking, and brings up religion and politics in an unexpected way. And I think the almost erotic parts were just absolutely beautiful. Plus, it makes me cry more than any other book. Even when it's not during a sad part.

4-Midnighters by Scott Westerfeld
I just adore this book. So intriguing and well-written. The plot is such a hooker, I read these books religiously.

5-Peeps by Scott Westerfeld
A fabulous vampire novel, that's not just about pale faced bloodsucking morons. It's scientific, well thoughtout, and.... well, quite disqusting, I might add.

6-Witch Baby by Francesca Lia Block
I love all the Weetzie Bat books, but this is my favoirte. Witch Baby always makes me think, and I love it. Besides, my dad was reading it when I was born, lol.

7-Coraline by Neil Gaiman
I love how twisted it is. I love how it's almost like Alice in Wonderland, but it's darker.

8-Valiant by Holly Black
I love how FINALLY Prince Charming isn't so charming.

9-Tithe by Holly Black
Holly Black writes faeries in a way that makes them real, and it's just fun to read this book because it's her first. I adore her urban fantasy.

10-Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien
It's long, it's hard to read, it's confusing, but the story beyond makes up for that. I've grown to love the characters, and embrace the writing, no matter how tedious it was for me the first time. And I did read it before the movie came out, by the way.
