Favorite Books

I received an anonymous comment on my last entry, asking me to post a list of my favorite books. Because I'm a sucker for reading, and for coercing people to read books I love, I was more than happy to oblige! These books are my absolute favorites, or ones I've really enjoyed. Some of the YA books are ones I've loved since I was a kid, and I'm not ashamed to admit I still read them.
