Favorite books? Wow. That covers so many genres and timeframes. So here goes:
Going back to 6th/7th grade - THE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH. How do you get to the country of Conclusions? Simple. You jump there.
High School - THE JUNGLE by Upton Sinclair. What were the last four words of the book? "Chicago will be ours!"
Early 20's - THE GODFATHER. Let's face it. As a true perv who didn't enjoy Sonny nailing the bridesmaid?
Late 20's - Fell into a Stephen King and Dean Koontz craze. Fortunately CUJO cured me of Stephen King.
Presently - I've jumped to history. Reading the West Point military series on the Second World War. But for fun I still like to pick up an occasional Dean Koontz, John LeCarre', or Tom Clancy novel.
All time favorite? A guilty pleasure of short stories. TALES FROM THE WHITE HART by Arthur C. Clarke.
Ok. So I'm not a true bibliophile. I just like what I like.

Ok, pictures aren't happening tonight, long story. Let's just say I'm having issues.
BUT instead of a picture, I want to pick your brains. Those of you that have been around my thread for a while, know that I love to read, and will remember me asking this question.
What are your all time favorite books and what book(s) do you think that everyone should read?
I'm working on my 2012 reading list and putting some books on there that I've been putting off reading. I'm looking for more suggestions as well.
