Your favorite book???

Question

All of us have a book we think everyone should read before they die. What is your all time favorite book and why do you think everyone should read it? Mine is, "I am Charlotte Simmons." by Tom Wolfe, and, "Marley and Me." by John Grogan.

Answer 1

Firebringer by david clemente-davies..where deer go wild and start sharpening their antlers! Awesome.

Answer 2

"Lonesome Dove" by Larry McMurtry

Answer 3

Mine is not a book but a literary piece that I think should be like the human constitution. It is the DESIDERATA by MARX ERNHAM

Answer 4

'Where Rainbows End,' Cecilia Ahern

I recommend the book to anyone who likes a romance, it is quick to read because it is all written in emails/letters/instant messages so you can stop at any part. It can sometimes get annoying because of that & at times the book frustrated me so much but I still really loved it :D

The Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling

For me, this can be read over and over again & I'd still wanna read it another time. I loved the way they were written & it all ties up at the end, a great ending in my opinion. So there was the satisfaction of an excellent ending.

The Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer

Although they are completely over rated now, the books aren't terrible, it's just some of the fans that annoy me (with their obsessions of Edward Cullen//Robert Pattinson). I found that the characters did annoy me sometimes, with their perfectness but I still loved the books when they were unknown.

Crankdat- I am obsessed with Edward & a lot of people are so just get over it, okay?

Answer 19

I have never read those 2 that you mentioned - so thanks, maybe I'll check them out. I love reading so am always excited to get recommendations.

For me, my favorite books are really hard to list because there are so many. I love the classics, Jane Eyre, Pride and Prejudice and the Count of Monte Cristo (unabridged) BUT, if you are looking for more modern books, you should look up Jonathan Safran Foer, both of his books are so incredible! Everything is illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.

Also P.D. James wrote Children of Men, which I am reading now and is pretty good. And if your into rather harsh vulgar, but very good writing, Irvine Welsh - Marabou Stork Nightmares is great, or his other novels - The Acid House or Trainspotting.

Anyway - I could go on for hours, so I will end there!

Hope you find something you love out of these!
