  Harry Potter, The Great Gatsby, 1984.
  
  Side note: I really want to read The Wind in the Willows. I loved Brian Jacques' Redwall series growing up, and I've heard the series was heavily influenced by it.

  The Phantom Tollbooth
  Me talk pretty one day (any David Sedaris, really)
  And my opinion: Jane Eyre > Pride & Prejudice

  Ooh, tough to pick just 3....

  1. The Lord of the Rings

  2. Pride and Prejudice

  3. Fahrenheit 451

  
  

  (and The Phantom Tollbooth, Harry Potter, Catch 22, Slaughterhouse-Five, A Wrinkle in Time, Where the Sidewalk Ends, and The Golden Compass)  

  :x

  
  

  cjchio  I second the dislike for "The Sun Also Rises" - I really dislike Hemingway in general

  OMG, another Redwall lover! I was so disappointed when he passed because he was adding on to the series.
  
  LO95- There are so many good books on here, I find it hard to choose. Angela's Ashes, The Giver & The Phantom Tollbooth.
  

  I haven't read them in so long, but I really want to reread the entire series! (And I actually never even finished Taggerung or anything after because I started getting busy with other things.)  Ugh, we never read anymore. Our goal this year is to make time to read every night. Hasn't happened yet. :-(  This thread is motivating me!
  
  Which one is your favorite? If I remember correctly, my favorites were a three-way tie between Mossflower, Salamandastron, and The Bellmaker.

  The Sun Also Rises. Fuck that book. Ones I liked/loved would be: Great Gatsby, Fahrenheit 451, the Giver, Book Thief, hunger games, To Kill a Mockingbird, Where the sidewalk Ends, Harry Potter, and Anne Frank. Sorry, I can't pick just three

  OMG my DH feels the exact same way. For this reason I CANNOT get him to read The Old Man and the Sea, even though I know he would LOVE it because he and his family are big on fishing and even deep sea fishing. I just think it would really tug on his heartstrings.
  
  I've never read The Sun Also Rises myself, but I'm starting to hate it just for this reason alone.
  
  ETA: I really think The Old Man and the Sea should be on this list.
