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
