I enjoyed the rather light and entertaining Harry Potter books.
I wouldn't consider this a favorite of mine, but a co-worker and I agreed to read a book the other recommended. This was back in early 1990's, I think. I made him read "The Stand" by Steven King (this was before the movie was made), which was definitely not on his reading list and he made me read "Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand, which was definitely not a choice I would have made. I plan on buying Atlas Shrugged and reading it again this summer, because I don't remember a lot about it, but remember it was quite interesting.
