I don't have a single favorite book..........

I've read just about every single Ballantine book (my dad's collection) about
WW2 starting when I was just 9.

I also read books on military hardware such as those by Steven Zaloga, books
about great land/sea/air battles, esp the carrier battles in the Pacific Theater
of WW2 and the Philippines. I also own a number of those big coffee table
hardbound books such as Carrier War, The Israeli War Machine, Great Land Battles
Of Ww2, The Falklands, etc

I also have a fascination for any WW2 Japanese fighter plane besides the
stereotypical A6M Zero and Ki-43 Oscar. These include the Ki-61 Tony, N1K2
George, and Ki-84 Frank. Most of my material on these are magazines, not books.
Hand in hand with these aircraft are stories about the Japanese aces that flew
them (eg Maj kobayashi and his distinctively marked Ki-61). I've posted enough pics of them as my sig here from time to time.

Other eras I'm fascinated with:

- The Indian Wars of the US west.

- The Crusades

- The American Civil War (I have the Time-Life American Civil War leatherbound set.)

- Japanese*, Chinese, and Philippine History

- American history especially the period from isolation to imperialism/colonialism

The more mundane:

- I read The Hobbit, Lord Of The Rings, Maps of Middle Earth regularly.

- Books and magazines on scale models/dioramas

- Star Wars. I have several source books on the Star Wars universe which was why the last 3 Star Wars movies were no surprise to me.

* That's why animes like Gintama appeal to me. Looking beyond face value, it's easy to see Gintama parallel many aspects of actual Japanese history.

wala akong best book since i also read a lot. you may want to check out the current book i'm reading - [ame=http://www.amazon.com/33-Strategies-War-Robert-Greene/dp/0670034576]33 Strategies of War[/ame]. i just started reading this; its very interesting.

there's a few fantasy/sci-fi books i can recomment if you're into it:
- the sword of truth series. series has ended so di na nakakabitin.
- the song of ice and fire series. with robert jordan dead and the sword of truth series ended, this is the next best ongoing high fantasy series.
- the death gate cycle series. the best work of weis and hickman. this is a classic.
