What are your top five books? No specific order needed, just 5 favorites ^^

For me:
Dune
LOTR
LOTF
Inferno
The Screwtape Letters
And many more, like Catch-22 and ...wait i need to stop(technically i shouldn't have stopped it at 5 for my own sake hehe)

So what are yours?

Dune
Clockwork Orange
Invisible Man (Ralph Ellison's, not HG Wells')
Ender's Game
A Brave New World

The Da Vinci Code
To Kill A Mockingbird
Odd Thomas
Andy Kaufman Revealed
The Alex Cross Novels (cant just pick one)

Andy Kaufman..lol :P

Velocity
Intensity
Dune
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
Phantom of the Opera

WTF is this, "Dune" everyone is talking about.

Just one of the best Science Fiction books of all time.

"The function of science fiction is not always to predict the future but sometimes to prevent it."
-Frank Herbert

yes dune, glorious dune. Although i am surprised to see it on any other list besides my own.

Dune by Frank Herbert is one of the great science fiction pieces of all time. Nothing is comparable in the world of SF. Lotr does not even match its grace.

Makes for a good read whether you continue the series or not

DO NOT watch the TV/Film versions of it, they are horrible and do not do it full justice

Hahahahahahahaha it's fucking thick, though. Man, it's one of the biggest books I've ever read.

Never heard of that one, Blib. I've heard of Brave New World, though, which is named after the Shakespeare quote "Oh, brave new world that has such people in it!" Notice, no "A" there.

In any case:

LOTR series
HHGTTG "trilogy"
1984
The Fountainhead
Ender's Game

And many more...

The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown
A Peoples History Of The U.S., Howard Zinn
The Outsiders, S.E. Hilton
The Harry Potter Series, J.K. Rowling
The Bourne Series, Robert Ludlum (And everything else by him)

The Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseini (just misses)

Never heard of that one, Blib. I've heard of Brave New World, though, which is named after the Shakespeare quote "Oh, brave new world that has such people in it!" Notice, no "A" there.
Oh, fuck articles.

Interesting choice.

I loved that book in 7th grade....I used to look forward to Reading class so we could read another chapter.

It's a bit juvenile, but it's really a good book, plus Hilton wrote it when she was just 17 or so.

Yeah, I know. That's quite a remarkable feat.

1.Prince Oberon -not sure if thats the right spelling...*hot guy rides by on bike, gets distracted, runs off to flirt*
2.Wicked (currently reading it)
3.Harry Potter books
4.Lemony Snicket(Daniel Handler) books
5.To Kill a Mockingbird
