My forever favorite book remains: The Hobbit πŸ‰
I think that the adventure of life comes to all of us, wether we want it or not. This books shows us how a naΓ―ve and honest approach to life can render the best outcomes :)

The book "To Kill a Mocking Bird" by Harper Lee. I had owned more than one copy of this book and read it multiple times. I have also watched the movie with the same title multiple times (and will watch it again). It is about children and more so about family and society we live in.

Another book I like is the "Smiley's People" by John Le Carre.

Oh it must be Chicken Run

The best chicken movie ever made, the chicken rendering technology is simply fantastic, and there are also dogs, like, not just one dog but TWO of them

My top book series is called "The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel". Six books total, incredible science fiction catching and easy reading story. I would highly recommend it.
