The first one I read was Season of Mists, and Lucifer blew my mind.

Last time I posted on one of these threads, I tried to play it coy and get a response from someone who recognized my username, but that didn't work.
So - my favorite book is Titus Groan, by Mervyn Peake. It's actually only my favorite by a very slim margin, closely followed by its sequel, Gormenghast. I actually count the two as a single story though, so it's maybe more accurate to say that they're my two favorite books.
Oh, and, Rottcodd is a character in the books.

I don't know if I have a hard favorite, but I have a book I like to talk about when other people tell me they read it.
Clive Barker's Weaveworld

48 laws of power! there is so much knowledge in that book. I've read many books, and that one had to have the biggest impact on my life

It's a book called The Adventures of Blue Avenger. It's a book aimed at teens I think. I got it free for reading 10 books or something as part of a school program that incentivized reading. I walked into Barnes and Noble and there was this little rack of books and they said pick one. This was actually my second book from the program, I guess I just picked it because the little ceramic guy on the cover was cool.
Anyway that book completely changed my way of thinking as a kid. No exaggeration, it was one of the single biggest influences on my life. The themes that propel the book are really heavy. Fate, how much someone can really be held accountable for their own actions, general crazy cosmic ideas. I had no idea what I was in for.

To Kill A Mockingbird is probably my number one. I think what made this book excellent was the progression of what the world is as a child to how ugly the world becomes the more you live to see it. Growing up is a hard thing and this book really puts it into perspective. It's forever my recommendation to the world (mostly friends).

Poet Anderson ...of Nightmares by Suzanne Young. I've always been fascinated by dreams and science behind them and this book has a quite unique take on it. Nightmares preparing us for real life events, The Dream World which is basically a shared human consciousness, guardians protecting humans from Night Terrors. Plus the story is dark, it's more of drama but it's so entertaining to read!!
