I don't read too many books, but a book that I really enjoyed was Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer. Contrastingly, I picked up Everything is Illuminated after that and it seemed very boring and difficult to read, the people's names confused me, definitely not the worst book I've ever read though.

I hated Great Expectations.

I ONLY KNOW HOW TO READ COLORING BOOKS.

Uhm, I don't read many fiction books, My French Whore, by Gene Wilder, is a great read, even if it's only 140 pages.

Uhm, I've spouted off some of my faves before, but I suppose for a recap I'll list 1984, The Thief of Always, and The Hellbound Heart as some of my favorites.

There are a few series I've been following and really enjoying, such as The Dresden Files and the Maximum Ride series (including When the Wind Blows and The Lake House, even though they're not technically the same series).

Kill Two Birds and Get Stoned has been sitting on my dresser for over a year now. One of these days...

I just bought so many books though. I have no idea when I'll get around to them all. Just finished The Subterraneans and am starting The Monkey Wrench Gang.

Recently I just read the Talisman by Stephen King, which I thought was amazing. Although, not too sure if it's my favorite book, it's just the most fresh in my mind, so I'll only mention that.

I've never read a bad novel... mainly because i never read books for school.

My favorite two novels are.
The count of Monte Cristo (only the original version 1400+ pages) by Alexandre Dumas--- My favorite story of all time.
IT by Stephen King--- My favorite Villain of all time.

Edited novels don't aren't as brilliant
