List your fave's here.

Doubledutch Princess: Eragon and Eldest by Christopher Paolini are the two most recent books to come to life in my mind.  Still waiting to read the 3rd in the Inheritance series Brisingr.  Don't bother watching the Eragon movie - it is so disappointing - stick with the books.  Christopher wrote Eragon when he was still a teenager so I look forward to many more books by this magnificent author.

Dreamcather: My favourite book is Snake and Lizard by Joy Cowley. It is a very warn and funny story.The conversations between the two are very entertaining and interesting. A good read for all ages...young and old.

 beautifulbird: My favourite book this month  is Climbing the stairs

Jesus Freak says: As a Pastor I like to read lots of Christian books. I have read many of John Bevere's book's and I have found them very insightful in understanding myself and providing some interesting insights into the way people react or behave.  I also enjoyed reading stories true and fictional on Autism as I havea son who struggles with this learning difficulty. Recently I have read "A real Boy" by Christopher Stevens and "The curious incdent of a dog in the night-time" by Mark Haddon amongst others which were hard to put down. I also read a few Young adult literature so I can make recommendations to library patrons too! 

LoneWolf: He likes... she likes... blah blah... But, just in case you were wondering, how the world ends has been written ladies & gentlemen... and visible for general viewing in Grant Morrison's opus grandis "The Invisibles"... attested to by such luminaries as:Warren Ellis ("Good pop music is about everything and nothing. It's about the present and the future. It's about making real life more real, ultravivid and crackling and sparkling. That's what THE INVISIBLES does. These books have some of the most perfect pop moments of the last ten years. Play them."), Phil Hine ("When you stare into the abyss, it's not supposed to wink back at you. Upcrackin'stomachburstin'mindtwistin'funlovin'nippletweakin'soulblowin'bottompinchin' - the real thing."), Steve Nylett ("Completed just before humanity crapped itself and ran squealing into denial. THE INVISIBLESis a record of a more toxic coloured past - and future"), Steven Severin ("Grant Morrison is a health hazard for people with zero attention span. Luckily, I've mastered the art of lucid dreaming so I can edit he bugger out of my nightmares."), Douglas Rushkoff ("This is the story that reinvented comics and in the process, taught a generation how to reinvent reality. THE INVISIBLES is a masterwork.") and Jay Babcock ("The secret autobiography of the universe as told to Scottish comics genius Grant Morrison... THE INVISIBLES is his maddest masterpiece yet: an accessible gateway work of staggering in-depth and structural complexity that, like all great 20th-century Pop demands - and rewards - repeat reads. A shocking adventure story, a cosmic guidebook, a survey of occult currents and at every turn fantastically glamorous.") And LoneWolf says: "It's alright. Really... but it IS how the world ends."

 Gravy :  I  recently read  The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao  by Junot Diaz  which had some amazing writing  filled with humour. It describes life at its best and worst . I enjoyed the fact that he puts footnotes which  explain some of the references he makes, which is unusual for a work of fiction.

Aleshanee: Ahhhh Favourite Books well its a series actually the TWILIGHT series by stephenie meyer....i love it

if you havent read it already then you really really really need to!!! The fourth book Breaking dawn was just released Last monday i am Reading it now!!! 

Bent not broken by  Lauren Roche Its her life story...and what a women she is...!!!  I actually met her after reading her story i couldnt beleive how someone so lovely could have been put through all of that... anyway the point is read it if you havent already its a inspiring story!!

UgahBugah:   I have re-read most of David Gemmell's books three times over, you could say I'm a fan. I can't go pass Calvin & Hobbes, Watterson is just hilarious. I enjoy light reading so sue me.

Young Padawan:  There are too many good books out there to name my favourite, but the most recent book that made an impact on me was Homeboyz by Alan Lawrence Sitomer.  It was a powerful read and I highly recommend it. 

The two books I can always return to and get something out of are "Alice's adventures in wonderland" and "Through the looking glass". I really believe they were the inspiration for lots of modern humour with their surreal situations and witty word play. 

Marlowe: I know it's not a book but I love this version of Hamlet.

Vivy's World: My favourite book at the moment is 'A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hasseini - beautifully written.

Transports you to another world and culture - you finish it, disappointed that their isn't more.

catatonic-chataholic: Unfair question!  Far too many to name!  Will instead use a current one that I read recently that was well worth the read - 'Come hell or high water: Hurricane Katrina and the color of disaster' by Michael Eric Dyson.

Hikurangi: I am a Non-Fiction reader.  Adore Maaori books, Cooking books, Photography books and most other non-fiction books, especially books relating to Aotearoa.  I am trying to 'branch out' into fiction, and there are a few books that I do like.  Anything written by Witi Ihimaera and Patricia Grace. As well as a book called A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry which I did enjoy.

Chopin: Always the last book I read..., make that always the last book I finished.

Danielle: 'Ash' by Mary Gentle, 'Passage' by Connie Willis. I'm the opposite of Hikurangi, keep forgetting to read non-fiction. Next Reads has been throwing up some interesting new suggestions for me - quite enjoyed 'Wicked Lovely' by Melissa Marr, a teen fantasy.

Newweb2: My very very favourite books would have to be written by Agatha Christie, any of the Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple series. Agatha Christie has a marvellous way of leaving you hanging until she reveals the final twist.

Misery: Too many fiction to name so I am gonna go with the non-fiction. Currently love Blink by Malcom Gladwell.

Biblia: Current faves Carol O'Connell's Mallory mysteries and Manukau libraries doesn't have the first few! Aargh! All time: Jane Eyre, Shadow of the Moon, The day of the Triffids, Tom's Midnight Garden, Prince Caspian. And I enjoy armchair archaeology

Hedgehog: Anything crime, mystery, some historical ... actually I will try anything recommended by Sarah-Kate or Stephen King in his "Books of the Year". A couple of NZ published authors I have recently enjoyed are Elenor Gill and Cody McFadyen. 

Aquarius:  Some favourite authors: Jodie Picault, Alexander McCall Smith (epecially No 1 ladies Detective series), Joanna Trollope.  I'm going off Patricia Cornwell - too gruesome

Natalie: I think my all time favourite books are the ones I read and enjoyed as a child, just because they seemed so magical at the time. I read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory so many times, my copy fell apart.

Nesian Chic ~ A Day With A Perfect Stranger, The Five People You Meet In Heaven, The Da Vinci Code, Pasifika Women

ZeeLeeCee: The Interpretation of Murder, Sleepwalking, Bloodtide, Candy and Catherine, Called Birdy; books I could read until my eyes fell out.

Comicbookgal: Thought I should really add my all time favourite comic book series here....Strangers in Paradise, by Terry Moore. Sadly the library hasn't been able to get this series, and its a real loss for the system, its one of the best series I have ever read...made me laugh, made me cry...ahhh, memories!

Little Lady: Children's fiction, Dewey's 364.1523, 641, 920-923, and of course...the Bible.
