What are your favourite books, and what do they mean to you

[SvennoJ]

I mostly have favorite authors

JRR Tolkien (LotR)
Arthur C Clarke (Space odyssey etc)
Terry Pratchet (Discworld series)
Isaac Asimov (Foundation series etc)
Larry Niven (Ring world series etc)
Tad Williams (Otherland etc)
Peter F Hamilton (Commonwealth etc)
Stephen Baxter (The long earth etc)
Robert Jordan (Wheel of Time)
Brandon Sanderson (Elantris etc)

I mostly read in summer, nothing better than to lay down / recline in the sun with a book.

I'm currently rereading the Discworld novels (well not currently it's mid winter freezing rain... But read some at the car dealership waiting for repairs) after finishing LotR again. It's been over 35 years since I first read LotR, just as exciting as the first time while 'seeing' a lot more now. I have Exodus from Peter F Hamilton on my list for when it gets warm again. Too many other distractions to read inside!
