That was so sad! The ending made me want to jump around screaming for joy though.

I'm not much of a diverse reader, I read Stephen King mostly and random things I pick up when I'm bored. (My favorite SK books are The Stand and Misery)

Theres a book I have that I got for christmas years ago called Indian Captive by Lois Lenski, I read that book over and over again. If you're 10-13 I recommend it.

Is The Lovely Bones the book where the girl is killed by her neighbour, and then something found her bone? Because I think I've heard of that book before, and I'm not sure where... but it sounds familiar.

That's the one.

Forgot about it when I was making my list. It also belongs on there. It's one of the few new hardback books that I own. I tend to stick with paperbacks because of money issues.

L'estranger by Albert Camus
A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess.

and yes, I know both have protaganists that are anti-hero's and are generally isolated from society through their indifference to others.

Me too =D. Today I saw this hardcover book, but it was 20 something dollars ='(. I might go read The Lovely Bones one day, but I don't really like books with murder in them.

BTW, can someone help me find the title and author of a book? It's about 4 teens I think... at school, who are different from everyone else. One is homosexual and I don't remember what the others are. I think the Title is something like "The Outcasts"? or something like this?

*resists urge to switch avatar to the Anne Rice/Jesus one*

*actually, that's just because the Anne Rice/Jesus one is 100 x 100*

I'm quite fond of Discworld and the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I'm also getting really into hard sci-fi, like that written by Charles Sheffield. He's awesome.

The Wheel of Time books.

I don't have favourite books, rather favourite authors.

Tamora Pierce has been my favourite for years now, though.
