My Favorites

Favorite Book: Cordelia's Honor
Ok, this is sort of cheating, since Cordelia's Honor is the compilation of two books: Shards of Honor and Barrayar. These are part of the Vorkosigan series by Lois McMaster Bujold, which is way up there in my list of favorite series. In approximately two years' time, I've read Cordelia's Honor about 8 times. My next most frequently read book is McSpadden's Robin Hood, which I read five times in around four years.
Favorite Color: Green
For anybody who's seen my room, this probably comes as a shocker. Just because my rug, my desk lamp, my sheets, blanket, and bedspread, my coat, my bookbag, my towels, and a goodly portion of my wardrobe are green, visitors might have been led to believe my favorite color is purple. Which isn't that bad a deduction, since it is my second favorite color. Black is a close third.
Favorite Book Series: Harry Potter
Runners up include (in no particular order) : Vorkosigan series by Lois McMaster Bujold, Renshai series by Mickey Zucker Reichart, Bifrost Guardians by Mickey Zucker Reichart, Alliance of Light and Shadow by Janny Wurts, Belgariad/Mallorean by David Eddings, Burglar books by Lawrence Block, Nero Wolfe books by Rex Stout, Psi Corps Trilogy (Babylon 5) by Gregory Keyes, Zahn Trilogy (Star Wars) by Timothy Zahn, X-Wing series (Star Wars) by Michael Stackpole, Phule books by Robert Asprin, Stainless Steel Rat books by Harry Harrison, and I'll also include the Baby Sitter's Club by Ann Martin, The Hardy Boys by Dixon, and Nancy Drew by Carolyn Keene because I read so many when I was younger.
Favorite TV series: Babylon 5
Also, its sister show, Crusade. No doubt the best show in existance. Great characters, great story, great everything. Only thing that's not so great is that there are no new episodes coming. However, there will be another sister show, The Rangers, coming out soon, so I'm looking forward to that. Runners up include Alias, Alias Smith and Jones, Quantum Leap, Hogan's Heroes, and Early Edition.
Favorite Movie: Undecided
Same deal as with series (no order): Shawshank Redemption, Princess Bride, Star Wars (collectively or singly), Prince of Egypt, Hunchback of Notre Dame (disney animated), Robin Hood (disney animated), Grosse Pointe Blank, Zorro with Duncan Reiger, The Mask of Zorro, and The Witness with Harrison Ford. (There are probably others, but I can't think of them right now, so I guess they're not, huh?)
Favorite Character: Al Bester
Although, I do know who my favorite is, the rest deserve mention as well, so here they are in more or less my order of favor: Alfred Bester (B5), Hannibal Heyes (Alias Smith and Jones), Al Calavicci (QL), Qui-Gon Jinn (SW), Vir Cotto (B5), Talon Kardde (SW), Max Eilerson (B5/Crusade), Sam Beckett (QL), Colbey Calistinson (Renshai), Wedge Antilles (SW), Aral Vorkosigan (Vorkosigan), Marcus Cole (B5), Miles Vorkosigan (Vorkosigan), Silk (Belgariad), Major Hochstedder (Hogan's Heroes), Peter Newkirk (Hogan's Heroes), Taizar Medakan (Bifrost), Captain Gideon (B5/Crusade), Robert Hogan (Hogan's Heroes), Diego de la Vega (Mask of Zorro), Lt.

I don't really know where to put him.
