what is your favorite novel of all time, and you can list your top 10?

All quiet on the Western Front - Eric Maria Remarque

Priest of Blood- Douglas Clegg Glass homes- Rachel Caine Hawksong- Amelia Atwater-Rhodes Revelations- Melissa De l. a. Cruz The Silver Kiss- Annette Curtis Klause Freak-Annette Curtis Klause The fragrance Of Shadows- Vicki Petterson see you later- Christopher Pike Doppleganger- David Stahler Jr. something by way of Darren Shan

Angels & Demons

The Bell Jar

The Bluest Eye

O Pioneers

Grapes of Wrath

Dixie Ghosts

Severed Soul

Wuthering Heights

Jane Eyre

She Devil

My very favorite changes about every ten years, so I will put my current favorite in the top spot. The others are in no particular order.

"Dracula"--Stoker

"Cold Sassy Tree"--Burns

"The Alienist"--Carr

"1984"--Orwell

"A Clockwork Orange"--Burgess

"Fortune's Rocks"--Shreve

"A Tale of Two Cities"--Dickens

"It"--King

"Mother Night"--Vonnegut

"Of Mice and Men"--Steinbeck

Usually there's some Thomas Hardy in there, too, but his spot has temporarily been taken by the Vonnegut book.

And here's something curious--I seem to be missing the Jane Austen gene. It seems to be very common in women in English-speaking countries, but I'd rather have teeth pulled with no anesthetic than read Austen. And have a pelvic exam at the same time, even...

**EDIT**

Can mine go to 11? There's one more I simply must include: "The Secret History" by Tartt

Harry Potter 6

My Sister's Keeper

Keeping Faith

Marked

Babyville

Harry Potter 4

A Long Way Gone

Beastly

The Pact

The Beach House

The very first book I read that had a HUGE effect on my life was Jane Eyre and to this day it remains among my most beloved novels of all time, both for it's effect on my childhood (I read it in 5th grade..assigned by a nun...yes a nun and she loved it!!) and the fact that even as I re-read it now it is a GREAT worthy story!!

Top ten...this is too hard..I am thinking of stories that had an influence on my life because favorites are too numerous!!

I loved "A Confederacy of Dunces...It had a big impact....

Let me think on this a while...leave it open!

I do not have a top ten really so I will name ten of the 100's that I love.

Twilight

Duma key

The Outsiders

The Host

Lisey's Story

The catcher in the rye

Moby Dick

Great Expectations

Pride and prejudice

To kill a mockingbird

Not in order:

The Bell Jar

Running with Scissors

Girl, Interrupted

Crosses

Fat Kid Rules the World

Augusta, Gone

The Lake of Dead Languages

Alll I can think of at the moment

I don't know if I can pinpoint 10,

but I adore:

The Outsiders

Ishmael

All of the Harry Potters

All of the Shopaholic books

I am more into "series of books" that will take you into the 20th century.

Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote the Tarzan books, but did a lot of SF books also, his "Mars Series" is an example.

EE (Doc) Smith for his "Lensman Series"

Wilbur Smith. (for any)

Eric von Lustbader. (for any)

Isaac Asimov. (for any)

and of course Frank Herbert who wrote the Dune novels and with out them, I wouldn't exist.
