Of all the fiction books you have read, which is your favorite?
Mine is 'last light', by Terry Blackstock. Normally her books are murder mysteries, which i dont read anymore, tho she is a christian writer, but this book was different. It was sort of an adventure, which I realize I like in my stories. It is a portrayal of something that 'they' say could actually happen. A sun flare causes modern day electronics to stop working. Suddenly the world comes to a stand still and they have to figure out how to live. Cars stop, planes stop, cellphones dont work. There are simply no communications to carry long distances. I just enjoyed it, and I like her writing style. It moves and gets to the point pretty quick.

Oh dear... This is a toughy.
I suppose I shall have to say That Hideous Strength, by Mr. Clive Staples Lewis. There's just something I love about the way he presents such an epic conflict in such a... Well, a human way, I suppose. That, and I've never read such well-done didactic fiction. Usually when Christian authors try and present truth through fiction, all you get is a disguised Sunday school lesson. But Lewis, he tells a great story that lets you learn, instead of preaching at your through his characters. Very enjoyable.
King's The Stand is a close second, though.

That is hard.
My gut reaction is Jane Eyre. However, I can't even have a favorite color two days in a row. So Lord of the Rings, Til We Have Faces, The Brothers K, Ursula Under, How Green Was My Valley, and Pride and Prejudice are all contenders.

Lord of the Rings is hard to beat. Also like the Forsaken Kingdom series.

The whole Song of Albion series is fabulous. When you finish it, start his Pendragon Cycle or his new Robin Hood series (Hood & Scarlet so far, Tuck in Feb. 2009). I love Lawhead's writing, even if he does call my Irish ancestors barbarians. 
i know right!!
i cant wiat for Tuck!!!

I'm with Auben... this is a hard question, and I have to go with the classics as my gut response: Jane Eyre or Pride and Prejudice.
For a modern novel, I have enjoyed Francine Rivers' Redeeming Love a lot more than most novels.

Roll Of Thunder, Hear My Cry by Mildred D. Taylor was my FAVORITE book in grade school. It won a Newbery.
My favorite series is the Babylon Rising series by Tim Lahaye. I thought it was better than Left Behind.
As for a more current book, I can't think of one.

Oh, I would definitely have to break it down into categories but I'll start with:
the book that made me laugh the most - I Feel Bad About My Neck by Nora Ephron
