I like this post. I love books.

What book are you reading at the moment? I'm currently rereading Boy of Ruin by K.V. Rose (which is book #4 of the Unsainted series)
What book have you got on your shelf that you've not yet read? Iliad by Homer. I picked it up recently from a little library.
What book have you read many times? Say Goodnight, Gracie by Julie Reece Deaver
Favourites, worst, fiction or non? Fiction are easiest for me to read. It's harder for me to stay glued to non-fiction reading. Edited to add: I realize that you were asking what my favorite books are, but I don't really play favorites. I'm too indecisive, and I love too many books way too much to choose.
What book/s would you recommend? I read a lot of dark romance novels, so I'm probably not the best person to ask. For something that I think would be a great read for anyone, I would say probably The Giver by Lois Lowry. I feel like it was the book that really got me back into reading when I was a kid.
 
What book are you reading at the moment? 
- The castle by Kafka
- Sixty Stories by Donald Barthelme
- The will to power, Nietzsche, and others that I go back to now and then. It's very unstable....


What book have you got on your shelf that you've not yet read?
Too many to count


What book have you read many times?
- Antigone by Jean Anouilh
- They shoot horses, don't they? by Horace McCoy
- Being and Time by Heidegger (twice)

Favourites, worst, fiction or non?
Anything but self help books. My favorite reads are either fiction or philosophy, too many to count.


What book/s would you recommend? 
- Martin Eden by Jack London
- One Hundred Years of Solitude by Marquez
- Faust by Goethe
 
I love books too! Never read a dark romance novel though?
Either way I've got a feeling I'm going to need another bookshelf lol
An Amazon wishlist will have to do for now!

What book are you reading at the moment? "Infinite Jest" by David Foster Wallace

What book have you read many times? I've never read anything more than once, although I really should.
Favourites, worst, fiction or non? A little of both, worst are text books, hard for me to stay focused

Kudos to you for actually being able to read infinite Jest. I tried a couple of times, read 100 pages and dropped it.
