What are your top three favorite books?

Question

What are your top three favorite books and what are they about?

Answer 1

My three favorite books would have to be The ***** Posse, My Sister's Keeper, and Harry Potter

The ***** Posse was such a page turner. I finished it in a day, and it wasn't that short. Its about three girls in their teen years and them as an adult. [like now and then kind of] it talks about them in high school and some crazy things they did [one slept with her teacher] and then them as adults. [ one ends up in a psych ward] I wouldn't recommend it for children, but it's a good book.

My Sister's Keeper is brilliant. It had a creative plot  about a girl who has a sister with leukemia and was only born to save her sister. the girl struggles throughout the book trying to decide whether or not she should keep having blood tranfusions, bone marrow, etc. she hires a lawyer and conflict arises between the healthy daughter and the rest of her family.  irony is in all the right places. I only had to read the first three sentences and i was hooked. it wasnt one of those books where you have to keep reading boring stuff to reach and understand the interesting parts. it is definitely a book worth reading.

I have yet to read the final Harry Potter book, but i think the world of the first six.[which is surprising because i don't really like the fantasy type]

Answer 3

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. It's about a girl, shunned by her only living relatives and shipped off to a boarding school, and her life. Mainly, it's about her years as a young teacher, and what happens when she falls in love with her employer. It's a great classic.

The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. The story revolves around a young man who, on his wedding day, is falsely convicted and sent to prison, where he remains for several decades. When he is free, he tries to avenge those that accused him. This book is an amazing adventure/romance.

The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Emmuska Orczy. During the French Revolution, a cunning and mysterious man (nicknamed the Scarlet Pimpernel) is attempting to save aristocrats from the guillotine using various disguises. At the same time, a beautiful woman has lost the love of her husband. Little does she know how much her story intertwines with the Scarlet Pimpernel's... I love this book because of it's romance, adventure, and excitement.

These books all meant something to me, and I enjoyed each one. I wish everyone would have a chance to read them.

Answer 5

Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett

     It's set about 900 a.d. and is about a man who builds cathedrals.  

     His name is Tom Builder (this was before people had last names!)

     and is the story of him and his travels around and the things he      

     builds where he goes.  

Master of the Game by Sidney Sheldon

     I read this years ago and don't remember much except it's about

     Africa and the diamond fields there and how this one guy gets to

     them across a field that full of blasting things.  It was very, very

     interesting.

Anything by Sandra Brown  -- She used to write romance novels but

     changed to murder/mystery novels a few years ago and I have to

     yet to read anything by her that I didn't like.  She always has a

     little thread of romance in her books, but they are always very

     interestingly written about a murder and include a mystery in every

     story.

Answer 6

The Phantom of the Opera by Gaston Leroux: At the Paris Opera, a "ghost" haunts the house. Meanwhile, young soprano Christine Daae is being trained by an Angel of Music, a deformed man who loves her and wants her to stay with him forever.

Les Miserables by Victor Hugo: I really have no idea how to condense this one into a few sentences, so I won't even try! I just spent several minutes writing a summary, but that summary was plain horrible. But anyway, it's a fantastic book. It just brought so much emotion out of me.

The Chronicles of Narnia by CS Lewis: Children from our world go to a magical land called Narnia, where they have adventures. It's fantastic.

Answer 11

1 - Faust by Goethe. Just one word - masterpiece. It is about a man that signs a contract with devil so that he could get a truly meaningful life.

2 - The Idiot by Dostoevsky. Bets love story ever written, 2 best female characters in literature. I love Nastasya. The book is that there is no place in the world for a good human.

3 - Steppenwolf by Hesse. This book just made a strong emotional impact on me, plus the best female character ever - Hermina. The idea that I liked the most in this book is that two people are mirrors for each other.

Answer 13

Answer 14

My first favorite book would have to be Eclipse (third book of the Twilight saga). I won't go into it because it's part of a series, but it's really good. (By Stephenie Meyer)

My second favorite book is Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I really like the plot there in that book. Also, since it's the second book of a series (and everyone's probably already read it), I won't go into it. (By J.K. Rowling)

My third favorite book... hmm... it's probably l8r, g8r, a great break from giant, thick books. Completely written in instant messages. It's the third in a series, so I won't go into that one either xD (By Lauren Myracle)

Answer 15

Lincoln by Gore Vidal-An exquisite historical fiction about Abraham Lincoln from the time of his Inaugeration to death.  

The Alienist  by Caleb Carr- A crime/mystery taking place in NYC in the 1890s with thoroughly interesting characters including the delightful Teddy Roosevelt, thrown in for color.  A must read!

Tortilla Flat/Cannery Row/Sweet Thrusday by John Steinback.  Three novelettes about a Marine Biologist and his retinue of scoundrels in a beat-up ocean town in N. Calif. during the 1930s-40s.  The stories are laugh out loud funny, sweet, melancholy and splendid.

Hope this helps...

Answer 16

The Host - Stephenie Meyer(This is amazing! It's controversial. Read it and you'll be amazed.)

Skin - Adrienne Maria Vrettos (Told from a unique point of view. A boy's struggles through life with a bulimic sister. Very touching!)

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - J.K Rowling (Need I say  more?)
