What are they and why are they your favourite?
I'll start... my favourites are 'The Kite Runner' by Khaled Hoessini, (duh) and 'Of Mice and Men' by John Steinbeck.
Not only are they both superbly written but they are about subjects I consider tremendously important, both concern prejudice and friendship, and they are both fascinating novels to analyse. I'm analysing them both for English.

To Kill a Mockingbird has been my all time favorite book for years.
I also like George Orwell, Agatha Christie, Louisa May Alcott, Charles Dickens, and many others.

yep 'One Child' is a lovely novel, it's actually real-life. Torey Hayden really did teach that girl!

Is anyone going to say their favourite novels are the Harry Potter books do you reckon?
"What's Eating Gilbert Grape" and "Picture of Dorian Gray" are both amazing..!
I love everything by Roald Dahl and Edgar Allan Poe. :D
I also like The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons by Dan Brown. Yes, I read them!
I am also reading a really good book called "The Poe Shadow" about a guy who is trying to investigate Edgar's mysterious death. :D

How's William Golding's 'Lord of the Flies'? I want to read that as soon as I get a copy.

I just finished 'When the Legends Die' by Hal Borland for school last week; simple reading with deep stuff tied into it, a good read it was.
I still have a long line of books to read, I'm still reading that Lord of the Rings stuff.
I want to get into more J.R.R. Tolkien really, Charlotte Brontë, Jack Kerouac, Gil Scott-Heron (actually any author having to do with the Beat Generation and the Counterculture, Bohemianism, all that), Albert Camus, Jacques Prévert, Stephen Crane, and loads more to list.
Does anyone have any book suggestions for the Beat generation/Counterculture thing I mentioned?

That's a fantastic book. I need to read it again, as I first read it in middle school, so I probably didn't fully understand the meaning of the novel as much with a, you know, younger brain.
