30DBC - What Are Your Favorite Books?

So, I suppose if I was treating this as an actual challenge, I would fail. I can't keep any consistency with daily blogging. Shame upon me.

Ah, reading. So many options for me! I guess I'll try to keep this list short. I'm such a fan of reading that I just don't know if I could narrow it down too much.

 I really enjoy Stephen King's books. If I had to pick a favorite, it would probably be The Green Mile. It's just quite an amazing story, without being too ridiculous. Every time I read it, I find something new in it. That's the mark of a good book to me; one you can't immediately remember every detail of. Misery is another one of my favorites. There's nothing like crazy fangirling. Annie puts Twilight fans to shame, and that's saying something.

I never really got into non-fiction. The older I'm getting, the more and more I'm gravitating towards it. I recently bough Tina Fey's book, Bossypants. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's full of amazing advice along with some downright ridiculous stories that make you feel a bit better about your life. You can actually hear her voice when you read it. It's the only time I ever considered getting an audiobook.

Finally, I have to pick something from the sci-fi world. I made the absolute best purchase a couple weeks ago. I couldn't believe it. I found the entire Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy "trilogy" (5 books) in one for $20. Best. Purchase. Ever. I haven't gotten to read them all, so I'm pretty excited to get going on that. I have a few other books I have to finish first. However, I know the whole "trilogy" is going to be a wonderful read.

I guess that covers a couple genres. Those books really are some of my favorites. Anything I'm willing to read more than two times is a success. If I know it well enough after the second time, it just didn't make the cut. There's a lot of classic literature I enjoy as well. I like To Kill a Mockingbird, Lord of the Flies, and even 1984. I liked the Harry Potter books, and the Hunger Games trilogy. They're all great in their own ways, but none of them would have to be my "favorites". It takes something pretty solid to catch my interest and keep me reading. I'm always open to other suggestions for the future!
