What's so funny? Is it that you think the story is for children? I for one think Lewis Carroll did an amazing job writing it and I love works that are surreal in nature.

I haven't read a fiction book in about 4 years, the last one I read was called Prey by Michael Crichton. It was a fairly good read.
Now non-fiction (mostly technical books) I read quite often. My current is Linux Kernel Development by Rovert Love. It is quite interesting seeing how an OS works under the hood.

Great list. What about Tess of the D'Urbervilles, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Treasure Island? All great books as well

My favorite book is the Bible. It talks about family, how to have a strong and lasting relationship with other people, how to attain true happiness, about science, how to be successful,etc. Name any topic and its almost there. I love reading it!

My favourite books are American Psycho (Bret Easton Ellis) and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time (Mark Haddon); they both give a fascinating insight into the mind of people psychologically "different" from the "normal society".
Apart from that, anything by Malorie Blackman is awesome as well.
And yes, before you say the latter are children's book -- I am a child, according to the laws set in the United Kingdom. 
EDIT: I agree with Seb about Jekyll & Hyde, and liquidroof, I'm a student; why can't you read?
