I didn't know what other word I could use other than strong. (all others wouldn't have been for virgin eyes haha)
My favorite has got to be either Armand or Blood and gold.. I more so Armand though.. I love the idea of Marius and the relationship him and armand had in venice both before and after he was turned... I'm a big fan of vampiric lit and movies... (I know, I know, I'm a geek, or a freak, either way haha)
I actually had never read any of the novels until last year or so.. I read one or two but I had seen Interview with brad pitt and queen of the damned with vincent perez long before I read the books.. (I'm also a huge vincent perez fan, he is the sexiest french man I have ever seen haha)

I have a knack for finding used-book sales... in the past couple weeks, I've ended up picking up close to 50 books for about $3 total. They range from classics I haven't read in ages, to things I've been meaning to get, to stuff I've never even heard of. However, now I just have to find the time to actually READ THEM. 
Right now I'm reading When Women Stop Hating Their Bodies - self-help, but kind of interesting psychology. Then again, I love a good non-fiction read.
One of my all-time favorites is Outlander by Diana Gabaldon... kind of a historical-romance-action read. I don't normally go for romances, but the whole series really hooked me.

I absolutely love Outlander and all of Diana Gabaldon books. I have read them all several times but Outlander is my favorite. Wonderful stories and wonderful characters.
I love books in general and it sounds like a dream to find 50 books for $3.00. I could hang out at the book store for hours. A perfect afternoon for me.

A really good book I read this year was "extremely loud and incredibly close" by Jonathan Safran Foer. Also the saddest book I've read in a while. He also wrote "everything is illuminated" which was an amazing novel. I just finished "the birth of venus" by ?? this summer which was a good period novel set in 15th century Italy.

and as of right now, i am reading all nonfiction:
I Kissed Dating Goodbye (LOL, Christian dating perspective)
Who you Are (christian stuff)
the DNA of Relationships(ok, looking a bit Christian here but...)
oh, there was another one...DUH moment. I've spent too much bloody time on the computer in the last few days to read. Grr.
Oh, I remember...I just recently got through the power of your Subconscious Mind,
Fighting For Your Marriage(I quit that pretty fast)
and bought this instead "It's Called a Breakup Because it's Broken"" LMAO!
I'm weird in the whole nonfiction thing. i like to fix me and others, I spose.

Personally, I've got a couple going at the same time (as
always). Bourne Identity (I've always wanted to read the
books) and Face the Fire by Nora Roberts.
If you want a quick read and are into romances at all (a
romance has to have a REALLY good story for me to want
to read it at all) the Donovan Trilogy (I try to pretend
the fourth book didn't happen) and the Three Sisters Island
Trilogy by Nora Roberts are definitely worth a read.
Have fun!
