Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Most of the titles are non-fiction, I've read them all except "Eat, Pray, Love," "The Secret" and the "DaVinci Code," of which I read the first 20 pages or so and abandoned because Dan Brown is a hack writer!.

A "novel" is a work of fiction!. On your list, numbers 2, 10 through 12, 14 through 17, 19 through 21 and 23 are not novels!. Most are "self-help" or just barely business titles!.

Most of the titles are pedestrian and their sales are the result of stupendous marketing campaigns, rather than that of merit!.

You must consider the nature of each book, when it was written and the media coverage at the time!.

The "Harry Potter" books are marvelous!.

My favorites are To Kill A Mockingbird and Memoirs of a Geisha, both classics that will endure!. Most of the other stuff will not!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The Secret Life of Bees

Anyone can relate to the feelings that Lily has--even males!. We all feel desperate in our lives, the longing to fill something empty within us!. Sometimes we feel unloved, unwanted!. But this book is filled with hope!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I've read numbers 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 20, and 26!.
My favorite is number four: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have read:
All the Harry Potter Books
All the Twilight books
Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul
Goodnight Moon
The Devil Wears Prada
All the Series of Unfortunate Events

22 ~ To Kill a Mockingbird
26, 37, 41, 45 ~ Twilight
38 ~ Night
39, 54, 131~ Chicken Soup for the Soul books (I just like looking at the cartoons and illustrations!. I usually can never relate to the stories anyway!.)
46, 99~ Eragon books 1&2
64 ~ The Polar Express (beautiful illustrations!. I've not seen the movie yet, but I really enjoyed their animation!.)

My favorite single book from this list would either have to be To Kill a Mockingbird, Holes, or Lord of the Flies!.

My favorite book in a series would be HP and the Prisoner of Azkaban!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Definately Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J!.K!. Rowling, no doubt about that!. According to me, it is by far the best and most loved children's book in modern times!. I also think it is the best book of whole Harry Potter series!.

I think the Sorcerer's Stone changed the course of children's literature!. It has given rise to another six books that have reached the very top of bestseller lists worldwide!. It is not only a normal bestseller, but a phenomenon!. JK Rowling has cast millions of readers in reading by this book, especially at the time when the lives of children were dominated by television and computer games!.

So, I don't think I am surprised that it is on #1 in the list!. Jo Rowling deserves it!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I've read:
All the Harry Potter Books
To Kill a Mockingbird
All the Twilight books
Wicked
Eragon
Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul
Green Eggs and Ham
The Hobbit
Goodnight Moon
The Giver
Holes
Eldest
A Series of Unfrotunate Events
The Fellowship of the Ring
The Chronicles of Narnia
Fahrenheit 451

Of all these, I'd have to say I love the Lord of the Rings books best!.
