1. Wizard's First Rule (by far)
2. Farseer Chronicles
3. Probably Harry Potter

Would it seem cliche to list the LoTR trilogy as a fav?  I would include 'The Hobbit' as well.  I first read them when I was about 12 and I've plowed through them at least 2 other times in my life since then.  I guess that would make them among my favs.

I also enjoyed the 'Odd Thomas' series by Koontz.

I would reccomend Malazan, books of the fallen then...imagine the farseer chronicles but on a larger scope with more characters. The descriptions are in some cases disturbingly vivid but so perfectly explained yourl eft with a horrendous image painted in your mind.

(An example was one soldier who had always been known for his generally stoic pesonality and charming smile takes a mace across the nose/upper cheek bone in battle. Tearing out his eye, caving in the majority of his cheek, removing his nose and his ear, but leaving his smile intact.

The image of that won't leave my head, it was one of those pause, absorb what you just read, and sort of think 'woah'.

1 - the Hobbit (I liked it more than LotR)
2 - Alice in Wonderland
3 - Eyes of the Dragon (but most anything by Stephen King is worth a read)(Gunslinger, green mile, etc.)

The Watchers from Koontz was excellent, but I haven't read any of his other books yet.

I also like Brave New World and Great Expectations.

No, it's about a guy who finds a dog out in the woods one day, and discovers that the dog has human-like intelligence.

oh I think strangers is the one I'm thinking of http://www.iblist.com/book2388.htm

it was kind of predictable but the character development was enough to keep you interested.

Well, man to be fucking honest with you I have taken a break from reading this last book for 2-3 weeks now. I've just become so inter-connected with the series that after the end of the first trilogy I was extremely angry at how the book ended. It just pissed me off and it wasn't a bad ending but I was just so dissatisfied. Fitz just gets screwed over, he is used by absolutely everyone, and the love of his life becomes lovers with his mentor. It's just fucked up to be honest. I hope the ending of his older life gives me an ending that will let me rest in peace.
