I guess we all like the dark ones for the drama...I was just upbeat today and just came to that seemingly obvious realization😛

Least favorites:
Hm... none come to mind, I guess they must have been forgettable.
Although I must say I found Catcher in the Rye underwhelming, but that's not to say I didn't like it.
 
um... favorite's gotta be harry potter series.. i like the easy reading, and i'm a kid at heart..

least favorite: beloved.. hated reading that book in high school..

obviously i don't like serious topics..
 
Favorites: Too many to mention

Least Favorites: Anything by James Joyce. To all of you youngsters who still have yet to get to high school where you'll be forced to read "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man" , "Ulysses" or "Finnegan's Wake", be afraid. Be very afraid.

I started Ulysses but never finished it. Some people seem to like Joyce though. I haven't read enough to have an opinion.
 
Too many books to list out the ones I like.

What I disliked was the Thomas Covenant series. Made it through the first book and about 100 pages into the second and then had to stop. I'd burn them if it wouldn't make me feel like a Nazi. Worst series of books EVER! So bad that I tried giving them to my library and they would take them.
