But my favorite book outside of LotR, hey? Ah-hm....The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas is really good. I love Master and Commander and H.M.S. Surprise by Patrick O'Brian (two books out of a series).

Goodness. To be honest, it's been ages since I read a lot of my Dickens books. For whatever reason I didn't like Great Expectations, but I have a copy of Christmas Carol/Cricket on the Hearth that's from the twenties; it rather goes a lot of places with me.
The book is, amazingly enough, even better than the movie. Seriously, read it.
I love Sign of Four and some others. I also heart Grimms fairy tales.
Haven't read either of those, I must admit.
