Mine is The Witching Hour by Anne Rice. I was so grateful for Lasher, the story continued!

So far, I would say Imajica by Clive Barker. It's one of the most amazing, epic, expansive, imaginative fantasies I have ever read. It's no lightweight either.. very graphic in nature yet elegant all at once, much like everything Clive Barker has done. Wink

Wow, that's a toughie. I have so many favorites. But, OK, if you torture me and tell me JUST ONE, I would have to say "The Lord of the Rings".

"The Colour of Magic" by Terry Pratchett. It got me reading again and changed the way I feel about books in general. It was the first book that I ever fangirled over - movies, sure, but I'd never called myself a fan of a book before. It has everything I look for in a great book and more.

1984 by George Orwell.

Though it's hard to pick just one.

Golly, why don't you ask me to pick children that would be easier!
My answer is usually whatever is in my hands at the moment, but I suppose that

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll- Has always stayed with me throughout my life. I always consider Alice "my best literary friend." It has stayed with me the longest so I suppose that one.

I don't know that I can pick a favorite novel (though as a kid my fave was A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle and my second fave was Friday's Tunnel by John Verney.)

I can pick a favorite series: P.C. Hodgell's Kencyrath series -- and a second runner up, Steven Brust's Vlad Taltos series.
