Mine was probably Interview with the Vampire. Anne Rice wrote the most wonerful book ~ with such beautifully descriptive imagery & an awesome story line. I could totally visualize everything. It was truly amazing! What is your all-time favorite book?

Interview with the Vampire is a great book! I love vampire stories I have so many books that I love that It's really hard to choose which is the best. I guess if I had to pick one, I'd chooses Children of the Matrix by David Icke. This book has really opened my eyes to what is happening in the world. He tells the real story of history and not the biased version you hear from the media and history text books.

The Mists of Avalon - The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley
The best book I've ever read is The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley. I loved it! It's about the female side of the King Arther legends and it was so inspiring, compelling and I just fell in love with it. I've given that book out as gifts for several of my friends because it's so great. The second best book(s) I've ever read is Harry Potter(s). They are so well written it's nearly unbelievable. J.K. Rowling is an incredible author!

That's a really hard question. When I was a very young child, a lot of horror novels would have been competing for top spot. Later on perhaps fantasy novels, or books or poetry. Today, I have to say it would be "Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah". It's a story about how everyone has an advanced spiritual being inside them somewhere waiting to come out, and how people draw the teachers and the students they seek to themselves throughout lifetimes. Every single time I read the book, I feel strong, uplifted, and as if I have met the characters, somewhere, somehow. Not to mention that it's my favorite book to open to a random page and read when I have something on my mind.

Blindness by Jose Saramago It tells you a lot about us being humans and our society as a whole. It was made into a movie starring Julian Moore and Mark Ruffalo. I can't hardly wait to watch that film.
