This is my list, as can be seen i'm really into children classic literature (Michael Ende, Erich Kästner etc.), maybe because at the times i used to read those books i had the time to read them over and over again. a luxury i no longer possess.
1. The Farseers (Robin Hobb)-jusy my favorite series of books, read it like 5 time, in two different languages. also, it's the book that introduced me to epic fantasy.
2. A Song of Ice and Fire (George R.R. Martin)-my second favorite series. what can i say. i really like complicated plots and weird inner politics.
3. The Neverending Story (Michael Ende)-i guess this is my defining book. and defined a lot of my outlook on life, a really really good book which i love and will probably cherish forever.
4. Momo (Michael Ende)-another one of those childhood books that really gets to you.
5. The 35th of May (Erich Kästner)-just the cutest book i've ever read, it's one of my favorite childhood books.
6. The Moonchild (Eloise Jarvis McGraw)-another childhood book, really spoke to me and made me relate to the main character, so i love it for it.
7. Ender's Game (Orson Scott Card)-just a great book, really. and i'm not usually a Sci-Fi person, but this one was just SO good.
8. The Divine Comedy (Dante)-a heavy read, but i took it as a challenge, really makes you think, even though is hard to comprehend.
9. Matilda (Roald Dahl)-another childhood book XD guess i just love these. really cute and an easy read for a boring afternoon.
10.The Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy (Douglas Adams)-instant classic. a must book, also i have a very beautiful volume that i just had to have.
11. Les Bienveillantes (Jonathan Littell)-different from my usual reads, very heavy and grotesque. still, i think i could really relate to the main character even though he is a Nazi, the is hust something so human about him and i love these kind of characters.
12. Alice in Wonderland (Lewis Carroll)-BEST NONESENSE EVER. classic, fun to read and really filled with memorable quotes. i'm a Cheshire Cat's person. also a bit of a Mad Hatter one. i quoted a line from the book in my art project: "we're all mad here, i'm mad, you're mad" "how do you know i'm mad?" said alice, "you must be" said the cat, "or you wouldn't have come here".
13. The Satanic Verses (Salman Rushdie)-another bid book, but i really liked it. also, i guess i have an attraction to forbidden books (not forbidden to me, but in Muslim countries), also i really enjoy theology and fantasy when combined.
14. Badulina (Gabi Nitzan)-an Israeli book with a wonderful message that says: once you stop being a victim and think yourself as a king-you are a king.
15.The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (C. S. Lewis)-another classic childhood book. not much to tell about it. it's cute and i read it as a small child and loved it.
16. Kenler's Camp (Edgar Kereth)-another Israeli author, writes absurd and short stories. this one tells of a world where people who committed suicide go to, kind of bitter-funny, dark humor story. i like those.
17. The Little Mermaid (Hans Christian Andersen)-no child of no more than 8 should ever read this. i did. my whole childhood smashed into pieces. and i thought the prince and the mermaid lived happily ever after like in Disney. i was not prepared for her to become wind.
18. The Secret Garden (Frances Hodgson Burnett)-another cute classic, just one of the books i read over and over again
.
19. The Witches (Roal Dahl)-he is so messed up. for years i was really afraid of woman who scratched their heads to often. also, i like books with a bitter-sweet endings. i don't like when everything just fixes itself.
20. Kajtuś czarodziej (Janusz Korczak) -cuz a book that just deletes a whole chapter in the climax just can't get out of you head
