My education is mostly in fitness and nutrition. So, I basically liked everything. It was not all novels and the like, but were texts such as The Joy Of Fitness, Nutritional Choices For Life and Managing Weight.

I'd have to say "The Hobbit". I think it was in junior high. Also, "Where the Red Fern Grows".

I thoroughly enjoyed "In Cold Blood" by Truman Capote and "The Devin in the White City" by Daniel H. Burnham. I had to read these books for English in high school and have still kept them. Granted books about serial killers and crime fascinate me, so I loved these.

The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy, A Tale of Two Cities by Dickens and Around the World in 80 days by Jules Verne - loved reading these books. I would often finish reading them before the teacher would, just couldn't wait till the next class to read it!

I read hobbit written by J.r Tolkien back in the 90's.
The novel was so fascinating and enchanting.
The best part was when they had to crawl through a 9 inch crevice.

The books I mainly read on mostly comprised of novels, fantasy, fairy tales and adventure such as:
The islands of the blue dolphin.
The silent one
The cay
Adventures of Biggles
The hardy boys
Hans Anderson fairy tales
I heard the owl call my name
The river between and many more

To Kill A Mockingbird! I don't really understand why I liked the novel so much. It's probably because of the various emotions it forced me to feel - anger, happiness, surprise, wonder...and also the perspectives it led me to consider.

Lord of the Flies, and Cry, the Beloved Country.

My class didn't actually finish reading Cry, the Beloved Country. We hit a time crunch, and the teacher said we wouldn't be able to finish it and collected them. I asked if I could keep it to finish on my own, and she all but jumped up and down squealing.

Mostly vampire book such as "Kismet Knight vampire psychologist series", The Coldest girl in Coldtown", "Sucks to be me", etc. Vampires are my favorite out of the genres there are.

Quite a few, including 'Jane Eyre' that I'd already read for pleasure anyway, and 'Tess of the d'Urbevilles', as well as more modern ones like 'Brighton Rock'. Conversely, as I've said on another post, my appreciation of Jane Austen only blossomed when I DIDN'T have her as a set text.
