Fantasy -- "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" by J.R.R. Tolkien - bar none. \n(Coming in second would be Alan Dean Foster's "Spellsinger" series for ease of reading and sheer humor. Those who have experienced "Mudge" or "ol' Mudger" know what I mean.)\n\nScience Fiction -- Asimov's "Foundation" series and Clarke's "Odyssey" and "Rama" books are wonderful.\n\nNon-fiction (travel essays) -- Neil Peart (Rush's drummer) has 3 books, and they are all *terrific*:\n- "Masked Rider"\n- "Ghost Rider"\n- "Traveling Music"\n\n\nAside to fancybrowneyes: there's nothing "hokey" about that - you like what you like, so there's no reason to "apologize." : )

For a Young Adult Fiction book to be my favorite, it would have to be "deep." Watership Down by Richard Adams is excellent. I've enjoyed YA for years even though I'm not a young adult myself.\n\nHow about "Girl, 15, Charming but Insane" by Sue Limb? It's part one of a planned trilogy. On Amazon it's got a 5 star rating.

"The 13 1/2 lives of Captain Bluebear" by Walter Moers. A book so good it's the only one I ever immediately started re-reading as soon as I got to the end.\nIf you want something to just dip into now and again then "English as She Is Spoke: Being a Comprehensive Phrasebook of the English Language, Written by Men to Whom English Was Entirely Unknown" is absolutely hysterical - it's a phrasebook for Portuguese travellers to England, but the translations are more like something from that Monty Python "Hungarian Phrasebook" sketch.

The Great Santini\n\nW/ a vivid imagination everything comes alive in this book about a Marine Pilot who gets in and out of so many different situations.  The club scene in the beginning of the book is sooooooo funny.

Besides the Harry Potter books, I would have to say "Mama" by Terry McMillian.\n\nThe struggles Mildred go through trying to raise her children- Frida, Bootsee, Angel, Money and two others that I've feel for her. The abusive relationship with the childrens father, the neighbor that rapes her oldest. The men that Mildred runs through and the growing pains of life. Great book. Must read.
