Help!

Okay, you smart and lovely people, I need assistance.

I'm a little bored with my books lately. I'm having a hard time getting into anything I have out from the library, I've read a couple of bad/unexciting things recently, I have nothing coming in from my holds any time soon. In short, I'm in a reading rut.

So, tell me: What is your favourite book? Who is your favourite author? What book do you think everyone around you should read? What is the book that changed your life? What is comfort reading for you? What book can always make you laugh? What have you read recently that got you excited? What book, when you find someone else who loves it, makes you need to be that person's best friend forever? What author do you wish was your best friend?

Give me something, anything, that I need to read. Fiction, non-fiction, genre, new, old, I don't care. Well, I might care a little if it's a western, but I'm willing to have my mind changed. I am your willing reader.

I'll second the nomination of Alice Hoffman's Practical Magic. I read it every year. Other good Hoffman books are Turtle Moon and Seventh Heaven. She is one of my very favorite authors.

I like fantasy a lot, so I recommend the Farseer Trilogy (starting with Assassin's Apprentice) by Robin Hobb.

The book my friends and I are all currently in love with is Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel's Dart.

I love Alice Hoffman's books - she manages to combine the fantastical and prosaic beautifully.
