#1 no other book even crossed my mind mostly because i usually dont like reading
It kills me not to know this
but I've all but just forgotten
what the color of her eyes were
and her scars or how she got them

As the telling signs of age rain down
a single tear is dropping
through the valleys of an aging face
that this world has forgotten

there is no reconciliation
that will put me in my place
and there is no time like the present
to drink these draining seconds

but seldom do these words ring true when
I'm constantly failing you
like walls that we just can't break through
until we disappear

so tell me now
if this ain't love then how do we get out?
because I don't know

TAS changes order every time I read it. Right now its Second while TGC is first and TSK is third. Other books in the Top ten are Uglies, Pretties, Specials,(Uglies Series, Scott Westerfeld) Ptolomy's Gate, The Golems eys, The Amulet of Samarkand (The Bartimaeus Trilogy, Jonathan Stroud these also change order along the list) Harry Potter (not the whole series but the Third, sixth, first and Second) Twilight series(only Twilight and Breaking Dawn). I listed to many to be in the list but I usually look at them as series, except for Harry Potter. So just take them as sujestions

TSK just annoyed me really compared to the other two, and probably wouldn't make it into my top 10

It is sort of hard to choose an order for the books especially since I read the three in a giant volume. But as a series it definitely ranks number 1! best books I have ever read!

Somewhere around 4th I believe. It was a great book, but NL and TSK were better in my opinion and Mistborn and Elantris are in the first and second place for me at the moment. Gah, you know what? I don't like rating books >.< It's hard and it makes you choose between good and good, and when a paradox like this happens, rating is hard. As a series though, HDM is definitely there on the top.

I couldn't choose a top 10, my head would explode trying, there are far too many stunning works of literature out there.
I will say, however, HDM as a whole, as many have said already, is one of my favourite reads.

Not really TAS, but maybe TGC or definitely TSK could get in my top 10. I still have to say, the Eragon trilogy is quite near, without daemons HDM would fall about to 50th place. ( Armoured Bears: Still cool, especially with firethrower)

Oh whatever, that's not relevant here.

The problem with having a "top ten" list of books is that the list would change with the passage of time. Currently, the H.D.M. Trilogy as a whole would be in the top ten, though I don't know where. Judging from the number of times I've read and read the plays over the years, the "Complete Works" of William Shakespeare would be number one on my list. Maybe the two "Alice in Wonderland" books would be number two. I've read most of the "Wizard of Oz" books, but despite being "Kansas Person", they don't make my list.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
The Golden Compass/Northern Lights
Jurassic Park
The Thief Lord
Inkheart
Dragon Rider
Tailchaser's Song
The Amber Spyglass
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Warriors: Bluestar's Prophecy

In no particular order.
I'd put "The Shining" up there, but I haven't finished it yet, so I dunno if I can make that valid. ._.
