Favorite Books
What are your favorites? Put them here, and why you like them, and about them. Anything life changing, extremely meaningful or deep? I recently got finished read Touching Spirit Bear for English class, (we were only supposed to read to chapter 8, but I got carried away) and I like it a lot. It's about a juvenile delinquent name Cole, who is banished to a remote island in southeast Alaska by Circle Justice. It's a great story. It's all about being kind to nature, and animals, and learning that you need the help of others if you truly want to be happy. You should read it!

I LOVED Touching Spirit Bear! It was great! I have too many favorites to list though.

Yeah, and today we got to video chat with the author! It was awsome. He's a really cool guy.

Hmm.
Momo
Neverending Story
The Wheel of Time books
The Wanderer
The Castaways of the Flying Dutchman series, those are real tear-wringers
The Tiger Rising
Tailchaser
Sorrow, Memory, and Thorn trilogy
The Westing Game
Fire and Hemlock
The Little Prince
and many more. Those are the top, though, as well as the Redwall series and the Ga'Hoole series.

That sound you hear? That is the sound of my head exploding of overexertion.
Les Miserables, Wicked, Dracula, The String of Pearls (AKA Sweeney Todd, the novel), and Fahrenheit 451 are definitely some of my favourites though.

Charlie Bone Series. I'm obviously obsessed!!
They are so creative, and they will draw you in and NEVER RELEASE YOU. Anyone else a die-hard fan?

Charlie Bone? Most definitely not. See comments on other thread.
HP takes the cake, Lemony Snicket, Bruce Wilkinson, and Sir Arthur Conan are great also, Michael Buckley and Rick Riordan are nearly as good, and there are a billion others that I can't think of. Ever notice how all of your favorite books never come to mkind at once?
AARGH, that maddening obligation to use British spellings is invading my brain again, after reading a whole Sherlock Holmes novel and moving right into Washinton Irving. XP

I guess that I don't have a favorite, but one of my favorites is Black Beauty.
