Hm- thats a hard one. I don't exactly have a favorite book or author but I do have to say The Free Bards by Mercedes Lackey is a favorite as well as the first 3 books to the Dragon Lance "saga" or whatever you want to call 'em. But the books have a history in my family 
Hey! I have the very books so many men on my da's ship read when he was in the military. But as I've said, I don't exactly have a favorite book or author. Though if you include poety I'd have to say Frost and Longfellow 
Hey! I have the very books so many men on my da's ship read when he was in the military. But as I've said, I don't exactly have a favorite book or author. Though if you include poety I'd have to say Frost and Longfellow "Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
and things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art; to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul."
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

My favorite book would be Catch-22 by Joseph Heller.
As authors go, I love James Thruber, Carl Hiassen and Chuck Palahniuk. I also have a weakness for Linda Fairstein's and Dennis Lehane's crime novel series.

Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course, we wouldn't fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cities. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away.

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE
You see into the deepest part of me ---
beyond the fog I hide behind.
You cast your light upon the shadows
that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.
You ease the pain when I am hurting,
and morbid visions from my past
pierce into the realm of Reason
as though I danced on blades of glass.
You grant me strength when I have fallen
and, once again, I've lost my way.
You take my hand in Yours and lead me
into the promise of a brand new day.
You bring order to all my chaos,
yet set my well-laid plans awry.
You place me on a firm foundation ---
then give me wings so I can fly.
You sand away my roughened edges
and polish all the dullest parts
until I stand before Your presence...
a newly-sculpted work of art.
You see into the heart within me,
right through my motives and selfish will.
And yet, in spite of all You see
You say You love me even still.

Hmm, this is not easy, I won't repeat what I wrote in the Book Recommendations threads, so I'll include some others.
I'd have to say Tolkien and Douglas Adams of course. Terry Pratchett too. His best I'd say were "Good Omens" and "The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents".
Carl Sagan- I've read (and own) pretty much all of his books, excepting his scientific publications.
As far as mysteries go, I'd say Peter Tremayne who writes the Sister Fidelma series, and Ellis Peters of "Brother Cadfael" fame.

The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

My favorite books of all time:
Fiction:
The Oath
The Prophet
This Present Darkeness
Piercing the Darkness
Lord of the Rings
Chronicles of Narnia (just consider this one book for now)
Jurassic Park
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
(yes, I'm pathetic... I haven't read many Fiction books... Others I've read have all been Christians Children's books. I also read Lost World, Wizard of Oz, Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn, parts of Alice in Wonderland and Through the looking glass)
Nonfiction stories
Is That Really You God?
Imprisoned in Iran
CT Studd: Cricketeer, Pioneer
parts of Peretti's Autobiography, something about a Wounded Spirit?
A Tale of Three Kings
(other books I've read in this category, but didn't really "do it" for me or I just plain Don't remember were Reese Howells: Intercessor, Oral Roberts' Biography).
Non-Fiction non-story books:
Making Jesus Lord
1 or 2 sections of Battle for Truth (the ones that scared me were the marxist ones...)
Parts of Clergy in the Classroom (It's just a book of quotes of famous teachers and people in the board of education in the US... Enlightening stuff)
Visioneering
Reentry
(As for other books I've read that I didn't realy like, they're not even worth mentioning...)
BTW, my favorite short story from Literature class in school is "The Ruum."
I want to make a computer animated version of it, if I can ever find the story again (it's pretty darn hard, seeing as it's just a short story)

My fav book is...HARRY POTTER! The writing is so...so um...well, awesome. Iguess that's the only way to put. The story captivates me in a labrynth of characters and their ups and downs. Each character is so well defined that it's like you know them personally. The conflicts keep you wanting more, and you won't to stop until all is explained. Though it may be fantasy, it makes you think about things. THIS IS THE BEST BOOK EVER!!! After the Bible of course.

Well, there's Tad Williams fantasy series Memory, Sorrow & Thorn (and their fantasy). Absolutely love Neal Stephenson (not for the faint of heart). To Kill a Mockingbird, Robinson Crusoe, Fire Upon the Deep, those are my favorites for fiction.
Philosophy would be: Soren Kierkegaard (spelling), Thomas Aquinas, C.S. Lewis' God in the Dock.
Religious would be Thomas Merton, Thomas Keating, and The Cloud of Unknowing, and of course Tao Te Ching.

Healing hands of God have mercy on our unclean souls
once again. Jesus Christ, Light of the World, burning
bright within our hearts forever. Freedom means love
without condition, without beginning or an end. Here's
my heart, let it be forever Yours, only You can make
