Mine are probably the Harry Potter Series and the Inheritance Series. I also really like reading Star Wars novels as well.

Science Fiction and Fantasy are my favorite types of books to read.
 
Listing favorite individual books is an impossibility. I'll list authors whose books I've loved and can read over and over again.

LOTR Trilogy/Simarillion by the Tolkiens
Masters of Rome series by Colleen McCullough
Anything by Steinbeck
Anything by Dickens
Anything by Twain
Sharpe series by Bernard Cornwell
Harry Potter series by Rowling
 
Lord of the Rings Trilogy - JRR Tolkien
Jurassic Park - Michael Crichton
The Great Train Robbery - Michael Crichton
Fantastic Voyage 2: Destination Brain - Isaac Asimov
2001 - Arthur C. Clarke
Brothers - Ben Bova
 
Mine would be:

LOTR Trilogy
Harry Potter series
Repairman Jack series by F. Paul Wilson
any book by Grisham's
 
Oh gosh this will be hard if I try to think about it so the first ones that come to mind are:

Crime and Punishment
War and Peace
Gone with the Wind
Anna Karenina

Series wise I love:
The Dresden Files
Amelia Peabody Mysteries
Thursday Next
Harry Potter

And of course my favorite author of all time is Agatha Christie. I've read every single one of her mysteries. Runner up is Tolstoy, I've read almost everything he has written as well.
 
Victor Hugo's last three novels. The Man Who Laughs, Toilers of the Sea, and Ninety-Three. Never read anything like them, and I don't expect to.
 
The Brothers Karamazov
Pillars of the Earth
Lord of the Rings
Idylls of the King

Anne of Green Gables :eek:
 
You know, LM Montgomery is actually (in my opinion as a Yank) Canada's answer to Mark Twain. Anne is that kind of a read.
 
  • LoTR Trilogy
  • The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan
  • R.A. Salvatore Drizzt series
  • Pride & Prejudice
  • All Quiet on the Western Front
  • The Jungle
  • The Octopus

I am really also enjoying Wizard's First Rule by Terry Goodkind, but don't want to add that to my favorites yet because I am on the first book of the series.
 
Here are the books I can read over and over again:

To Kill a Mockingbird
Stranger in a Strange Land
The Lord of the Rings


And anything by Edgar Allan Poe. "Never Bet the Devil Your Head" is one of my favorite short stories.
 
i don't really like to read. my favorite book that i can re-read is The 3 Musketeers by Dumas. i wish i knew where my copy was. i'd like to read it right now. i also just started Stephen King's The Dark Tower series but it kinda bored me and i haven't been reading it too fast.
 
just to name a few....

Spellsinger series
Drizzt Series
anything by James Herbert
I am Legend
Discworld books
Good Omens
