Probably the first time I read The Lord of the Rings trilogy. AS soon as I finished, I started it again.

There were moments, more often than not, while reading Catch 22 that I burst out laughing. It was the first time I can remember a novel getting that type of reaction out of me.

I think probably The Idiot by Dostoevsky It's coming right up for me. Just have to get 'Ordinary Men' and 'Hero With a Thousand Faces' out of the way first. I'd say some of my most enjoyable reads were when I was reading Terry Pratchett, very funny sense of humor. I still think about a pun he made about 'Prints of Darkness'. Liked a lot of Tom Wolfe's books, also had a good sense of humor. |

Probably Life of Pi.
I loved it.
I bought it because I heard Ang Lee was doing a movie and I was taking a trip to Florida.
I read the whole book while standing in lines at Disneyworld.

I forgot about Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books.
I think in the last book, Dent is describing a time he thinks someone is eating his food.

I'm probably pretty strange, but I loved reading Churchill's Second World War. It was interesting reading a history of the war from the perspective of one of the national leaders.
I also still love the iliad and to a slightly lesser extent, the Odyssey.
My favorite fiction works though are John Buchan's 39 Steps and Greenmantle. Wonderful early 20th century spy novels.

When I first read the following:
Jurassic Park
Life of Pi
My first of the Ethan Gage adventures.
The Disaster Artist (funniest book I read in years)
...that's all I got at the moment.
