Well, that wasn’t as hard as I expected.  I have a lot of favorite books.  If it’s the first in a series, you can probably figure out that I love the rest of the series too.  These are all books that astonished me, captivated me, that I fell absolutely in love with and wanted to start over again right that second.  I know they will always stay with me because I will always have a copy and when I want a comforting reread, I will choose one of these books.

This list has also shown me that an absurd number of my favorite books are fantasy and I really should just deal with the fact that they are chunksters and read them anyway.  I haven’t fallen in love with a book in a long time and I’m totally ready to do so.  It’s May and it hasn’t happened that special way yet.
