Becky Lawyer | 106 comments My favorite books of all time come from VERY different genres. I'll just name a few, because I have lots of favorites. In fact, I think it would be easier to list favorite authors. So, I'll do that mostly.

Agatha Christie
Charles Dickens
A. A. Milne
Dorothy Dunnett (Lymond Chronicles - historical fiction)
J.K. Rowling
Laurie R. King (Mary Russell & Sherlock Holmes series)
Brandon Sanderson (Stormlight Archives - fantasy)
John Adams by David McCullough
Mary Stewart (the Merlin series and her suspense/romances)
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (whose author I forget)
Anne of Green Gables et al
I also really enjoyed The Hot Zone! So scary!

Carol (carol07) I go through phases. For the longest time I was strictly Sci Fi and Fantasy. Lately, I am really into mysteries.

Pamela Humphrey (phumphrey) I love so many different books. I find that I'll stick in one genre for a while, then move on to another. I'm trying to mix it up a bit more this year.

That's how I do, as well, and even go for nonfiction by spells.

S.T. Sanchez I love everything but non fiction. I don't mind historical fiction. One of my favorite books is Wild Swans. It's based on a true story, but has dialog. I will try pretty much anything but I love fantasy the most.

Little Women, Louisa May Alcott
To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee
Blind Your Ponies, Stanley Gordon West
Harry Potter Series, J.K. Rowling
Many of Fannie Flagg's books
And lots of romance novels, I'm a sucker for a happy ending!

John Grisham
Mary Higgins Clark

Elaine Viets
Nicholas Sparks
Catherine Coulter
Nancy Martin
Ann George
Ann B. Ross
J.A. Jance

I also like some authors that write for young adult fiction like Richard Paul Evans and series is Michael Vey. John Grisham also has a great youth series called Theodore Boone series and they are great.
