-drops a three story stack of books in front of her- owo
I like alot of 'younger' kids books, which is what I'm reading lately just for the heck of it..The last series I read(I think) was Percy Jackson and the Olympians, because I love greek mythology and such. ^^ I was pretty suprised, I thought it would be pretty juvenile sounding, but the series rocked!

There's been too many to state a favorite, so I'll just settle for what I'm reading currently.
Children of Hurin by Tolkien
Dune by Herbert
Master and Margaret by Bulhakov
Brides from Stepford by Ira Levin
The far rainbow by A and B Strugatzky brothers
Ok, I've made up my mind. Lately I really like fiction from the period between 1950s and 1990s from estern Europe and Russia. It's excellent. Take the Strugatzky brothers. One is a physicist the other an astronomer. Together they wrote incredible stuff. Should anyone of you come across one of their books, I recomend reading it.

[quote="T'risstree Helviiryn":gzhkqs3l]I can't believe no one has yet mentioned Elaine Cunninghams Daughter of the Drow trilogy?
Liriel[/quote:gzhkqs3l]
I've not read them yet.
But I do want to track them down. I certainly loved Elaine Cunningham's [i:gzhkqs3l]The Radiant Dragon[/i:gzhkqs3l]. There are no drow in that book, but it does contain a powerful female lead in the form of Celestial Nightpearl (a powerful space dragon who likes to disguise herself as beautiful women).
