To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

I've read this book easily 20 times, and I always find something new that I have not notice before, or which I didn't pay close attention to before. It is truly a masterpiece of literature.

I've got a lot of favorites and they change constantly.

Melusine, The Lies of Locke Lamora, The Name of the Wind, almost anything by Georgette Heyer or Dean Koontz, A Companion to Wolves, the whole Song of Ice and Fire series and S.M Stirling's novels of the Change
