I'd have to include the entire HP series of course, with a special mention for HBP. They mean a lot to me personally, because I started reading the books so I could take my baby brother to see the films as they came out, which kind of sparked off a little tradition for us that still goes on, even though he's now in his 20s! Also professionally, because I don't think I'd be doing the job I do now if I hadn't spent so much time analysing these books, haha! I have a soft spot for Wilde's novel The Picture of Dorian Gray; reading that at 15 really helped me understand parts of myself that I hadn't managed to work out before. Oh and Wuthering Heights! I feel like Heathcliff and Cathy are the basis for all my OTPs - there's gotta be a bit of hatred and tension in there for me to really ship it, lol!
