My favorite books of all time come from VERY different genres. I'll just name a few, because I have lots of favorites. In fact, I think it would be easier to list favorite authors. So, I'll do that mostly.

Agatha Christie
Charles Dickens
A. A. Milne
Dorothy Dunnett (Lymond Chronicles - historical fiction)
J.K. Rowling
Laurie R. King (Mary Russell & Sherlock Holmes series)
Brandon Sanderson (Stormlight Archives - fantasy)
John Adams by David McCullough
Mary Stewart (the Merlin series and her suspense/romances)
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (whose author I forget)
Anne of Green Gables et al
I also really enjoyed The Hot Zone! So scary!

I go through phases. For the longest time I was strictly Sci Fi and Fantasy. Lately, I am really into mysteries.

I love so many different books. I find that I'll stick in one genre for a while, then move on to another. I'm trying to mix it up a bit more this year.

That's how I do, as well, and even go for nonfiction by spells.

Mine are all over the map.

I love everything but non fiction. I don't mind historical fiction. One of my favorite books is Wild Swans. It's based on a true story, but has dialog. I will try pretty much anything but I love fantasy the most.

I have some varied favorites, as well:

Little Women, Louisa May Alcott
To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee
Blind Your Ponies, Stanley Gordon West
Harry Potter Series, J.K. Rowling
Many of Fannie Flagg's books
And lots of romance novels, I'm a sucker for a happy ending!

I have a lot of favorite books and authors. I'm love mysteries the most. I will almost read anything if it's semi clean or clean with hardly any cussing or not.
John Grisham
Mary Higgins Clark
Mary Jane Clark
Lilian Jackson Braun
Joanna Carl
Elaine Viets
Nicholas Sparks
Catherine Coulter
Nancy Martin
Ann George
Ann B. Ross
J.A. Jance
Carolyn Hart

I also like some authors that write for young adult fiction like Richard Paul Evans and series is Michael Vey. John Grisham also has a great youth series called Theodore Boone series and they are great.

My favorite books are from various genres. They also include adult, young adult and children's. Most are fiction though.

Right now my favorite books of all (ones I read again and again) are the Mortal Instrument series and The Demon's Lexicon series.
