1) Definitely the Harry Potter series (Fave book is the last one)
2) The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More (anything written by Roald Dahl is awesome!). Paul Jennings was really good too. Oh and how can any of us forget the Goosebumps series?
3) The Time Traveller's Wife
4) The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
5) Of Mice and Men
6) Rabbit Proof Fence.
7) Various novels about Astronomy.
8) I can't remember the title but it was a book about the works of Leonardo Da Vinci.
9) The works of Vincent Van Gogh.
10) The Book Thief.

I'll probably end up adding a few more after my holiday reading marathon.

The Da Vinci Code? - Dan Brown
Lol, no, but the Da Vinci Code is a good book (so much bullshit involved which seems hardly plausible to any rational reader, but eh, it was entertaining I suppose). The book was about Leonardo Da Vinci's life and his artwork and his inventions and other scientific breakthroughs such as dissecting a human being and drawing and noting the human anatomy. It was fantastic! It's on my bookshelf somewhere, I'll look for it later on and I'll post the name of it on here.
