I have way too many favorite books. My favorite book changes constantly. Like right now my favorite book is The Fault in Our Stars by John Green.
I am convinced that John Green is a god. I will never be able to write anything as good as him. It's like he takes the best things in humanity and squeezes them into books. I don't know he does it! One of these days, he will have his own church and I will go to it
Wow, this is a long rant. Sorry

Hey guys! So let me give my Favorite Books List as well!
-Temeraire Series by Naomi Novik -The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis -The Book Thief by Markus Zusak -The City of Dreaming Books and The Labyrinth of Dreaming Books by Walter Moers -"Envoy of Infinity" by Paul Ehrhardt (title translated by myself) -"Suddenly Shakespeare", "Happy Family", "Jesus loves me" and "Lousy Karma" by David Safier (titles translated by myself again)
But really, the Temeraire Series are the best! Okay, some books aren't that great, especially the newer ones, but they are still some of the best I've ever read. I love Laurence and Temeraire, such great characters! You can really see how much they change during the books! I love these kind of characters!

I'm gonna have to add The Robots of Dawn by Isaac Asimov to my list of favorites (I just read it this past fall XD). I have to say, that's the only book I can remember reading that had me actually CHEERING OUT LOUD at the end of it. XD

Oh, sounds interesting! What is it about? And is there just one book of it, or is it a series?

It's the third book in a series. I haven't read the first two because our library doesn't have them, and I recently bought the fourth & last.
The Caves of Steel The Naked Sun The Robots of Dawn Robots and Empire
And I think they lead into Asimov's Foundation series. I might try reading those too, but I want to finish the Robots series first. Anyway, The Robots of Dawn is Elijah & R.Daneel's third (fourth? there's a short story in there somewhere, not sure when in the timeline is it though) case together- Elijah has to investigate the 'death' of Daneel's 'twin', and it seems he's getting nowhere the whole time he's there... I don't wanna say too much & spoil it, lol.

I read Phantom of the Opera once, it was pretty good. I forgot a book myself XD; Amazonia by James Rollins. I've only had it a few months and I've already read it twice, lol.

Yes, Poto is a rather good book, and I must admit, Phantom b Susan Kay is even better.
Amazonia? This sounds good. What is it about?

A US Army Ranger that had been lost in the Amazon & thought dead stumbles back out of the jungle out of the blue 4 years later, wasting away from some rampant illness (autopsy shows tumors EVERYWHERE). A team of Rangers, along with several doctors (including the son of one of the team that was lost 4 years earlier) go into the Amazon to pick up the dead Ranger's trail and see where he's been all this time- but they're being hunted, both by a rival, and an ancient tribe. And while they're trekking through the jungle, a strange new disease is spreading everywhere the body of the dead Ranger has been, so it's a hurry to find where he came from & hopefully a cure.
What's Phantom about?

Oh, that sounds like a game I've played. Called "Miasmata" where you, Robert Hughes, are banished to a research island. A traitor and betrayed. Robert is suffering from an unknown disease, which decreases your strength and accuracy (very weird controls). SO you have to find a cure on that research island, but you discover a story while you do (with journals, everyone else is dead) Also, a mysterious and quite horrible creature is hunting you, and you are defenseless.
The Phantom is the untold story of Erik, the Phantom of the Opera. How he was threaten when he was a kid, and how he came to the opera, and why he is acting so much like a ghost
