What's your absolute favorite book that I must read as soon as possible?

Today I read a whole book in between work (on the bus and during my breaks). A proper paper one, with an hardcover even! It was the new YA novel by Aidan Chambers Dying To Know You. I may write a review in the future;)
I still have quite a collection of BigBang stories to go through, but I noticed my actual bookpile is not that big anymore; -only four books left!- and I'm looking forward to treating myself to some bookshopping soon. So I want your recommendations! Fiction or non fiction, tell me about the best or last book you read, pretty please?

Now that my first workweek after the summervacation is over, I plan to catch up with the flist (and comments and mail) this weekend. I also still have that guestroom project to work on. Not to mention fandom fun. It's ReverseBang time! I will also post my final set of BB-artrecs. But first an early night. My bed beckons.

Oh, and I may have signed up for GISHWHES2012. I wasn't sure if I should, but Misha's mail alone was worth it. *grins*

I don't know how you feel about children's book, but I just finished The Name of This Book is Secret, which was a very enjoyable read.

Oh I love children's books and that title alone sounds pretty cool. Thanks! Have put it on my wishlist at The Bookdepository, so I can check it with my next order:)
Have a rec in return, also an adventure for kids: Cornelia Funke - Herr die Diebe. I read it in Dutch last year and wrote a review here:)

I just started reading Chris Colfer's book The Land Of Stories, which is adorable <3. Also! Can I recommend Lillian Turner's (e-)book Timshel? Just. It's so well written and full of angsty booys *wibbbles*!

Heh, I already heard about Colfer's book through Tyler Oakley of course;) Let me know what it's about and what you think after you finish reading?

Checked out Lilian Turner and I like her comment about The Hunger Games, so I'll keep the e-book in mind. I still have plenty of stories on my e-reader to go through first. *embraces fandom*

Only one book? 'Cause I can give you a whole list! :D

Oh please do! I'm very curious:) You can find all the books I read in the last few years at the bottom of my 2012 reading list.
