[QUOTE="AIM-54, post: 2618475, member: 15633"] I have been a voracious reader since about age 5, so choosing a favorite is as difficult for me as for many of the others on this thread. I will mention a few of my favorite/most influential books, however. [i]Johnny Tremain[/i] by Esther Forbes. One of my favorite books since I got it as a birthday present when I was 10 or 11. It should be, I think, required reading for all Americans. It gained particular importance for me as a connection with my American identity after my family moved to Canada. [i]The Big E[/i] The story of the USS Enterprise in the Pacific during WWII. One of my favorite WWII history books and the first major one that I read, back when I was about 9 or 10. Favorite series' include: The Ramage novels by Dudley Pope. The best swashbuckling, Napoleonic naval adventures I've read. I'm very happy to see them back in print. Fantasy-wise, I'm going to agree with Ambrus and nominate Stephen Brust's Dragaera series. [/QUOTE]
