    While most people give me the stink-eye when I say this, I like The Fountainhead. Putting aside all of the politics that wrongly get associated with this novel, at its core there is a very important message about individuality, innovation, and being the best you can be.

    I read more than what is probably considered being healthy :p I read from almost every genre, so I have different books that suit different states of mind. Intense stories, lighthearted funny ones, sexy ones, historical, etc. So here is a variety, and it is ridiculously difficult to narrow them down.

    Ender's Game series - Orson Scott Card. Political and psychological effects on a child that has been sent to learn about war and military.

    Lover Awakened - JR Ward. A crazy, original spin on 'Vampires'. Ward effectively creates her own culture, and the story in this book particularly is heart warming. Her characterisation is of a level that I have seldom witnessed, it's really amazing.

    Book of Enoch - religious text that is basically disregarded by almost all denominations. Discusses the falling of angels and creation of Nephilim. Amazing to read.

    Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte. A love story about two of the most unlikeable characters? They have so many faults and inadequacies, and it's tragic. The mistakes they make are their undoing.

    Suzanne Collins - Hunger Games. These are new and extraordinary.

    Timaeus - Plato. It's about Atlantis. Need I say more?

    To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee. Also speaks for itself.

    Okay, I could just keep going. :)

    I don't have favorites. I read different genres but my weakness is fantasy literature and science fiction. Adventure is the main key.

    Some of my top reads- Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling, The Elemental Assassin series & Mythos Academy series by Jennifer Estep, Sabina Kane series by Jaye Wells, Vampire Academy series & Bloodlines series by Richelle Mead, etc...
