My favorite book. This is not a mere read-it's an experience. Read it before you die.

Amazing-a sixteen year old has read James Joyce :) Whether I 'got' it or not is another issue, but this is a book where you just let its brilliance soak in.

A quirky and beautiful satire on adults that I read again and again. It makes me cry. It's a poignant jewel in literature.

Truly a classic and not over-rated at all. This story transports you to another world and is about raw, honest human nature, which is fascinating and not to miss.

The meaning of Baum's work is not as clear as Carroll's-whether it's political satire or more. The zany illustrations and bizarre characters are superb. You will hunger for more when you're done!

A dark, twisted and frightening work of fiction that recalls Lewis Caroll. It is deliciously bizarre and creepy, yet a sure-to-be classic that is easy to identify with.

Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett-what can I say? Put two geniuses together and you get Good Omens.

Who doesn't like Harry Potter? This is the best Potter book, no doubt. It is so much more sophisticated that I often wondered while reading; is this Rowling? It is the gem in the Potter series.

Another brilliant work from Block. This writing reminds me of music because it touches your mind and soul at the same time drawing out rainbows of passionate emotions.

I still read this book! It has dark adult underlying themes, and is storytelling at it's ultimate best.

The most haunting and one of the most disturbing written works I have ever read. It is inspiring; I liken it to singing outside during a thunderstorm. It's passionate and gritty all at once.

A classic that remains a classic, and is not over-rated. It's a blanket that wraps you in comfort and restores my faith in humanity.

Last but not least, my all time favorite. I was obsessed with this as a child and still am. It is dark and sweet at the same time, like chocolate, and will not fail to inspire.
