I've read a lot of good books but every time I try to pinpoint my favourite, I can't ever get past the Harry Potter series. I have been a HUGE fan of the books since 2002 and nothing has quite surpassed it. My favourites of the series are Half Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows. There is so much detail and clues along the way, it truly is a magical world that JK Rowling has created. I have no doubt I'll still be rereading in 50 years time :)

recently i have read an autobiography of Ipshita Ray Chakraverty and it was called 'Beloved Witch'. It was an amazing and mind blowing experience to read through her experience of being a high priestess of Wicca and it also unveiled the deepest secrets and the powers of the five elements of nature. A must read for all women!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't narrow down their favourite book to just one title. Here's my short list of books I cannot live without. Literally. I take them with me wherever I go in the world (I tend to move around a lot) and read them again and again:

Gravity's Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon

Tropic of Cancer, Black Spring (hence my name in these forums) by Henry Miller

Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy

Moby Dick by Herman Melville

If on a Winter's Night, a Traveler; Imagined Cities; The Baron in the Trees by Italo Calvino

The Trial by Franz Kafka

The Aleph and Other Stories, Ficciones by Jorges Luis Borges (actually anything and everything by Borges - he is a true master of the short story, and was a huge influence on the magic realist writers of Latin America)

Lolita, Ada, Pnin by Vladimir Nabokov

Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie

Anna Karenina, War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy

Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

My currnet favourite author Conn Iggulden - if you like historical novels try him.
Some days you are the cart and other days the horse; either way you still get shafted.
