Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier
Lord of the Flies by William Golding

An impressive, unique, and unexpected mixture of horror and outrageous scenarios that had me alternately busting up with laughter, or gnawing on on my nails! A really FUN reading experience. I could read this novel a zillion time and never tire of it!


Crowley's houseplants make me laugh so hard.



But my favourite book of all is Dracula - i would definitely like to re-read it at some point.

Read them 3 times already.
I absolutely love the anti-heroes.

I re-read Dies the Fire by S.M. Stirling often.
The Space Viking by H. Beam Piper is my other favorite. Perfect for a rainy day at home.

I stayed up late for a couple of nights until I finished the book.


THe old man and the sea, Hemingway
The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien
Harry Potter and the deathly hallows, Rowling

Harry Potter series
A Confederacy of Dunces (always makes me laugh)
the Mapp and Lucia books by E.F. Benson (also funny)
Jane Eyre
and the Laura Ingalls books, which I always seem to pick up when visiting my parents. Perhaps retreating back into childhood days :)

Rebecca by Daphne DuMaurier
The Shining by Stephen King
I've read them many times. RIP Ms McCullough and MS DuMaurier.
Oh, I love The Stand by Stephen King. I love to read it if I am at home sick.

The Book of Atrix Wolfe Patricia A. McKillip
Neverwhere Neil Gaiman
The Legend of Holly Claus (every Christmas!)

Anything by McKillip is worth re-reading, multiple times!

I loved that book. I just found my copy when I was looking for Christmas decorations. I ma..."
any of Bill Bryson's...

If you're interested, the Folio Society have recently released a beautiful (if pricey) copy of Dune with a limited edition poster, fully illustrated.

Raymond E. Feist All of the Midkemia novels about once a year.
and currently I have re-read everything Brandon Sanderson has written more than once and will continue to do so.
