CaTheatreGirl, you just can't beat the children's classics. I have several of them on my bookshelf and read them every so often. They just don't write them like they used to.

If we are talking about children's classics, we have to include The Chronicles of Narnia.

"There's a Boy in the Girl's Bathroom" by Louis Sachar. Who cares if it's 4th grade reading level. Read it. It will make you cry.

I'm from Georgia, so it would have to be Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. I also read this book once called The Walrus was Paul. Don't remember the authors name, but very fascinating stuff about the Beatles.

And as rediculous as it may sound, my actual favorite type of books to read are travel books. I can read them non stop, even if I'm not planning a trip to the destination any time soon.

My favorite book of all time is "To Kill a Mockingbird."

When I was younger, I loved anything written by Roald Dahl. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Witches, Matilda, George's Marvelous Medicine, etc.
