I like quite a few that you've listed here, namely the Stephen King books, LOTR trilogy, David Copperfield, Wizard of Oz, The Chronicles of Narnia, and the Ray Bradbury books (especially Fahrenheit 451).



My favorite book of all time is 1984 by George Orwell.

I also love anything by Anne Rice (specifically the Vampire Chronicles, but I also like her Mayfair Witches saga), and Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes.



I also love Anne Rule, and anything to do with history or religion.
I agree, Wheel of Time and Lord of the Rings.



The Amber Chronicles by Roger Zelazny is another interesting series. He managed to create a universe in which every other story ever written is just a sub-plot to his.

My buddies and I in high school used to say he cheated. =]



Also like anything from Greg Bear, Timothy Zahn or Tad Williams.



And don't forget the Hitch Hiker's Guide!
Pal, this isn't spiritual, it's fantasy fiction! Try posting when you've read things like:



The Koran

The Bible

The Torah

Any hebrew texts

The foundation of Zen

Bhodisattva



Posting this to literary students is a joke and so are you...
WHOOAAH, loong list!!!



Mine are:

To Kill A Mockingbird - Harper Lee

Watchmen - Alan Moore %26amp; Dave Gibbons

The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen - Alan Moore %26amp; Kevin O'Neill

DragonBall, and DragonBall Z - Akira Toriyama

Harry Potter 1-7 - JK Rowling

The War Of The Worlds - HG Wells

The Moomin Series - Tove Jansson



I don't read much non-fiction (I'm a fiction lover, I want to be an author anyway), but I like...

Language: The Basics - RL Trask

The God Delusion - Richard Dawkins

The Dictionary %26amp; Thesaurus - everyone
Carmilla by Sheridan LeFanu.

Clarimonde by Theophile Gautier

Dracula by Bram Stoker and it′s many variations.

Bloody chamber and other stories by Angela Carter.

Vampire stories by Richard Dalby

Yep, fan of Gothic vampires.
