Well given that I've read the Lord of the Rings series somethign more than 30 times, I geuss I'd have to say that

Favourite single book would be "Tactics of Mistake" by Gordon R. Dickson.

Best series ever. My mom started me on these books when I was about 14 and I always swore that if I ever had a daughter, I would name her Ayla!

I never had a daughter

Well, he's intelligent, but a major douchebag.

To each their own.. books aren't for everyone (although the way you said you'd rather watch TV earlier reminds me of Danny De Vito's role in Matilda.. "you can't get anything from a book that you can't get from TV faster"

). Tracy isn't a huge reader either... but it's all good. He has his football... I have my books.

They have actually started a tv series based on the books. The series isn't nearly as good as the books because I think they have strayed too far from the original plot line, but it's not bad.

I couldn't pick a favorite book, I can't even pick a favorite author. Some of the ones I like are:

Jim Butcher and the Dresden Files (connecting with Archren)

Richard K. Morgan. Altered Carbon and its sequels are fantastic

Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child

James Rollins

And finally, Christopher Moore. Read his book Lamb, it's fucking hilarious.

If I had to pick one book to read for the rest of my life, it would be Small Gods or any of the Death-centric Discworld books by Terry Pratchett.

There are many books and many authors that I like but there is only one favorite book: Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell.

I can't pick a favorite either but some of my top favs are:

The Techno-Pagan Octopus Messiah - Ian Muir Winn

Conversations With God - Neale Donald Walsch

Tuesdays with Morrie - Mitch Albom

Shampoo Planet - Douglas Coupland

The Harry Potter Series (Yes I said it!!)

I too read S.E. Hinton back in the day. Absolutely loved her stuff then. I've seen some titles recently that I don't recognize and have thought about picking them up.

OH yeah....I forgot about Harry Potter. I loved them too!
