 What's your favourite book aside from the Trilogy?
Mine is the Fountainhead and sorta the Da Vinci Code. It's cool

 Um, probably a tie between Dune and the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is actually my favorite book.

Ptolemy got kicked down to the number two spot.

 Yes, I like it better. I grew up with Harry Potter.

And Harry, unlike Nat, survived.

 Calvin and Hobbes were good...except I grew out of them.
I loved
Quote:
 
You never know when you might die. You might just walk out on the street one day, and WHAM! Ye get hit by a cement truck. So my motto is, live life to the fullest. What's your motto?

And Hobbes responds coolly.

 How can you grow out of Calvin and Hobbes!?

Hobbes is brilliant, though.

 House of Sand and Fog-Andre Dubus III

It's such an amazing book, I cried my eyes out...even Oprah likes it. And the Baltimore Sun called it: "A mixture of classical tragedy perfectly imbued with film noir"

And the movie's got Ben Kingsley and Jennifer Connelly.

Or Mad Shadows by Marie Claire Blais.

Edit: And The beach by Alex Garland

 I'll say what everyone thinks I'll say: Lord of the Rings.

I like a lot of books, actually at the same level as LotR, but I ain't typing them now.
