Okay, lets assume you can read 2 books a day. Lets also assume you read two everyday since you were born. And now lets also assume that you liked all of them and they are all your favourite books. Lets also pretend you are 17.
That would mean you have 12418,5 favourite books.
0,000000000001% of it would be 0,0000000000124185 books. I can read that amount of book titles in no time. So, give us your favourite books already-
I'm a beautiful gay man. Will you elope with me to a country that will allow our union to be blessed by angels in front of a god?

it's an international menagerie. and just to get it off my chest, people like blue hefner deeply upset me. taking AP lit does NOT make you better than anybody else. it means you know how to listen to a teacher. seriously, who has both hawthorne AND louis sachar on the same list? i'll tell you: people who are taking AP lit classes.

I've been reading some of his older and newer ones like:
The Husband, Intensity, Mr. Murder, The Husband and the two of his three books in his Frankenstein series.
Also Stephen King is right behind him. Although I haven't read much of his work, but what I have (Cell, On Writing and Salem's Lot) I've quite enjoyed.
Dan Brown is right behind them with Deception Point, Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons.
And above them all is JK Rowling for the Harry Potter series.
Dean Koontz is my favourite author. The first book I read by him was Midnight and I have been buying as many books by him as I can afford lol Currently reading The Taking. I also like Stephen King, but I think Koontz is better. I also love Jaqueline Wilsons books. Used to read loads of them when I was younger and still enjoy them now.
