					| For me, listing my favorite books is like listing which necessary function I would rather keep doing--breathing, sleeping, eating, walking, etc.  I like almost every book I read...otherwise why would I be reading it?...so pretty much every book is on my favorites list, in no particular order.
 But since every one else has a list, I'll list some books that I've read recently (the past month or so)...these aren't in chronological order....
 
 Everything Is Illuminated
 Howl's Moving Castle
 A Handmaid's Tale
 Memoirs of a Geisha
 Birth of Venus
 Elizabeth I
 Ella Enchanted (definitely the best Cinderella version)
 Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister
 His Dark Materials
 Lost
