My favourite books are
East of Eden by John Steinbeck
100 years of solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Matilda by Roald Dahl (I know it's a children's book but I love it anyway  :) )

The last book I read
The Dream Merchants by Harold Robbins

there's only four seasons
and this one's almost gone
these nights feel so good
but this one's almost gone

Hmm Favorite book would maybe be... wow, this is a tough one.

I'll go with Time Enough for Love by Robert Heinlein

I just finished re-reading Frank Herbert's Dune...

Ive been slowly reading Machiavelli's "The Prince" for about a week now...  its kinda boring so I'm taking my time on it.

I'm a huge Tolkein fan, anything he writes is Gold to me!  I also love C.S Lewis and Dahl.  Not to mention Harry Potter!
The last book I read was Child of the Dark by Carolina Maria de Jesus.
It is a crime to kill a neighbor, and an act of heroism to kill an enemy.  But who is an enemy and who is a neighbor is purely a matter of social definition.  - E.R. Leach

My favorite book of all time is Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil... hey, it's about my hometown.

The last book I read was The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky.  Really good book.

In case you haven't noticed, I don't read much.

I work at a bookstore, so I've read so many books that I can't even begin to get into all that.  Currently I'm reading Hot Six by Janet Evanovich...it's so funny.

My favorite book of all time is probably The Giver by Lois Lowry.  I read that in the sixth grade and I just love it so much.  My teacher and I had a really long conversation about it and that was one of the first times an adult had ever let me have an intellectual conversation with them...maybe that's why I like the book so much. :D
I think you underestimate the level of my sneakiness

TLOTR is a masterpiece. There are very few that can match the writing quality of Tolkien. Easily the best book i've read.

Currently reading - 'The Silmarillion'.

I'm not sure what my favorite book is but the last one I read was 'The Lord of the Rings' and that was awesome! I'm also currently reading 'The Silmarillion,' DD.  I'm about halfway through, and I have to say, it's a much harder read than LOTR.  It's really true when they say that it is "the Bible of Middle Earth."  Great stuff though!
