Yup, 'tis a good book ^_^

I love the descriptions and way that the actions scenes put ya on the edge of your seats. And it's also interesting how the rabbits still think like rabbits, they aren't quite mini humans (i.e. being confused by a raft). And rabbit society is cool too..

Adventures in Missing the Point would definitely have to be my favorite I've read so far. I love Christian apologetics-- it's one of my hobbies.
The Three Musketeers and The Man and the Iron Mask come close those. Classics are... classic? ^^

Quo Vadis. It's a powerful book about the Neroian persecution of Christians in the Roman empire. Well worth getting

I think I could easily say without doubt that Watership Down is gotta be my favorite book of all the times, but Redwall is closely behind. Actually I really like pretty much any book as animal with human/human-like straights of mind. That includes The Silverwing books, about the bats, oh and this new one called "One for Sorrow, Two for Joy."
I thought Timothy Zahn's Starwars series was uber uber cool, that really sucked me in, and the Circle trilogy of course, followed by Thr3e, there's something else I can't forget. Although not in the same vein really as the normal stuff I read, I quite enjoyed the Myst trilogy....and thus far the first two "Eregon" books are killer.
Gee I read too much. ^^;
