harry potter series
twilight series
speak

This tends to change regularly, depending on what I have been reading at the time so it is currently...


1. The Twilight Series (does it actually have a name?)--Stephanie Meyer
2. Good Omens--Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchet
3. The Children of Hurin
4. The Dragonlance Chronicles
5. The Lord of the Rings

Um, I'll come up with the othe five...
