My all time favorite book: Peter Pan, J.M. Barrie
Following that:
Maximum Ride, James Patterson
Artemis Fowl, Eoin Colfer
Pathfinder, Orson Scott Card
Incarceron Trilogy, Catherine Fisher
Inheritance Cycle, Christopher Paolini
Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling
Percy Jackson, Rick Riordan
This is no particular order.

There are a lot more...apparently, I read too much.

I just read "The Lost Hero", the first book in The Heroes of Olympus series, the followup to Percy Jackson. It was really good, I enjoyed it. Can't wait for the sequel, which should be coming out in October.

Coincidentally, the 8th Vimes book in the Discworld series, "Snuff", is coming out in October too. Seems like a good month for reading =)

A lot of people like the Percy Jackson series, but I abandoned the rest of the series after reading the first book (The Lightning Thief).
My all-time-favorite books is: The Gathering (Quantum Prophecy Series #2) by Michael Carroll.

Next favorite books (in order - best to least):
The Awakening Quantum Prophecy #1 by Michael Carroll (read in 2011). There is also a book 3.
Things Not Seen by Andrew Clements (read in 2009). My favorite book until I discovered Quantum Prophecy.
Hawk: Occupation: Skateboarder by Tony Hawk with Sean Mortimer (read in 2011).
The Wave by Tod Strasser (read in 2011).
National Geogrpahic Field Guide to Birds of North America by National Geographic (read in 2011) for Ornithology.

Many are non-fiction.
