Oh man. “All time” is hard because I’ve been through so many phases of my life. I count a favorite as any book I’ve bought, since I’m usually such a library person.

Tween/teen:

  • The belgariad
  • Harry Potter
  • Anything by tamora Pierce (Alana, the circle)
  • Enders game
  • Name of the wind (still waiting for doors of stone, damn you Patrick)
  • Wrinkle in time
  • The giver

college:

  • Hyperion
  • Dune
  • Mists of Avalon

Now:

  • The housekeeper and the professor
  • The house on the cerulean sea
  • Stories of your life and others
  • Shit Cassandra saw
  • The last graduate series
  • A Court of Thorns and Roses series (it’s a guilty pleasure and I’m ashamed to post it in the same thread as these classics but I’m addicted right now)

The belgariad was great when I was a kid, reading about the author was wild though. Don't if you don't want to taint the image.

I’m depressed enough knowing what I know about JK Rowling and Orson Scott Card…
