Awesome! I just finished Ender's Game and I'm partway through Shadow. I just may have to agree with you, but I don't know yet if they beat out Fahrenheit 451. :smile.gif: I'm also looking forward to reading Speaker for the Dead and Xenocide.
For nonfiction: Living the Good Life and Continuing the Good Life, by Helen and Scott Nearing. A close second might be Evasion, by anonymous.

Yaa, Ender's Game! But have you read the whole Ender's Game/Shadow series? Or just Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead?
-Blink & Caution was great, can't remember the author, though
-Maximum Ride series by James Patterson
-A lot of stuff by James Patterson
-The Dead and the Gone is a great book about the apocalypse
-The Gone series, although I've only read the first one
Does anybody notice that you can tell how old a person is by the books they read?
Here are some of the best books I've read, not in particular order:
The Hunger Games (Along with it's sequals) by Suzanne Collins.
Great series, with a stirring plot, wonderful narrative, and lots of action to keep a young reader hooked for life.
The Hot Zone by Richard Preston
My first taste of a nonfiction thriller, and let me say, I was impressed...and frightened too. Truth really IS scarier than fiction, because you know it can, and did happen. I will never infect my worst enemy with ebola as an act of revenge/spite. Never. That disease is too horrible for anybody to suffer though.
Life as we knew it by Susan Beth Pfeffer
I love this book. What more is there to say? It protrays an pocalypse that isn't nuclear, zombie or religious.
Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling
I love fantasy, and I think that this series does it wonderfully. J.K. Rowling can write very vividly. These books absorbed me into the story, making me forget the entire world around me.
The Song of the Lioness quartet by Tamora Pierce
Amazing series, one of my favorite growing up tales. Did I also mention I love fantasy?
Little House series by Laura Ingalls Wilder
The books of my childhood. I also love historical fiction. When I first read these books, I had a fasination of the American pioneers. I still haven't finished the Rose Wilder series of the books about Laura Ingalls' mother, Caroline Quiner.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan
I really like the action, and the vivid writing style of it too.
Princess Academy by Shannon Hale
I could read this book over and over and over and over again. I love it so much.
The Penderwicks: A Summer Tale of Four Sisters, Two Rabbits, and a Very Interesting Boy (and it's sequal) by Jeanne Birdsall
When I think of this story, I think of the meaning of summer, and all those wonderful things I just want to sit around and think of all day. A rememberable book that I'm extremely thankful my local library owns.
A Single Shard by Linda Sue Park
I love this story. It tells of a past and artform I'm fasinated with, since it's my history too.
Heidi by Johanna Spyri
I wish I could go to the Alps, and live there for the rest of eternity.
Ranger's Apprentice series by John Flanagan
I love this series for it's seriousness, realisticness, it's fantasy (lol at the irony), and how the story doesn't try to be funny, it's just the way how the narrative occasionally words things is how it makes it funny. Humor, that's subtle. Now that's what makes a good read.
Ella Minnow Pea by Mark Dunn
I really like the literay style of the book, and the complete horror of total censorship and totalaritan government it shows. Read it. NAO.
Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer
I love how it blends magic/fantasy with science fiction. As I said before about subtle humor, this series does that wonderfully.
1984 by George Orwell
Scary prophetic story that I wonder if a country could actually rule like that--and get away with it. I read this book after Sacheverell mentioned it.
The Scorpion House by Nancy Farmer
I love this book, and how it's vivid, and how the main character is not just some stoic hero, but knows how to cry and show emotion.
Animal Farm by George Orwell
"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others"
Ranger's Apprentice series by John Flanagan

I absolutely love that series, its one of the best I've ever read.
I have ordered book 10 from the local library, but I'm 73 in line with only 4 copys. >.<
I've read all the others though.

That sucks. Ender's Game, and the Foundation Series, are my top two favorite series. Ender's Game starts talking about 'the universe' and other stuff near the end, but it's still really interesting.

Mm, the foundation series. I'm currently in the process of readign that.
1. The Demonata series.
2. Curque du Freak
3. The Thin Executioner
4. Warriors (I somehow like it...)
5. Larten Crepsley Saga
First book in the Demonata series, the European cover :tongue.gif:

Yeah, I really like the concept of phycohistory.
Psychohistory*. :tongue.gif:. But yeah, makes you think, "Could we really?"
