10. Thumbsucker
9. Salems Lot
8. The Great Gatsby
7. East of Eden
6. The Mallorean (fantasy)
5. On a Pale Horse
4. The Hitchhikers Guild to the Galaxy
3. Harry Potter series
2. The Belgariad (David Eddings highly recommend the
series)
1. The Stand (Stephen King at his very best)

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is such a great book.
Poor Hunter S. Thompson, we hardly knew you.
I mean outside of watching you plastered on Conan O'Brien shooting a stuffed teddy bear with a high powered automatic rifle.
That was amazing.
Hunter S. Thompson, you will be missed.

OK, no poking fun...
1. The Lord of the Rings - IMO, best ever written
2. Harry Potter series - These books get better & better with each volume
3. The Great Gatsby - a favorite from high school
4. Good Omens - A very fun read
5. Coraline - creepy kids book
6. Tolkien: Unfinished Tales - Great stories... just wished he'd finished 'em before dying.
7. I, Jedi - Cool Star Wars book
8. The Queen of the Damned - Only Anne Rice Vampire Chronicle I could read over & over, too bad the movie sucked ass.
9. Ramses the Damned - Freaking awesome mummy book
10. X-Wing Rogue Squadron - Fun Star Wars books... went downhill after Stackpole left.
