Geek Love-Katherine Dunn
There is more, there is no one favorite book as I'm complicated or so the voices in my head tell me...but I put up this one so maybe people would look it up as its quite unique and beautifully written.0 -
The series that really got me into reading were the Nancy Drew mysteries. Now I read anything and everything. But a good murder mystery is always on my bedside table!
My mom had those books and my dad and I would read them every night before bed.
I also loved the Little House on the Prairie series and Anne of Green Gables. I also loved the Secret Garden.
As I got older I loved The Great Gatsby and 1984. Also Catcher in the Rye, To Kill a Mockingbird, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, The Jungle. So many.
I will read just about anything, especially if it is free. That is why I read Twilight series. I have the Fifty Shades series but am saving it until I run out of good things to read (I have over 100 books I am working through). LOL0 -
i usually have a few books on the go -- i try to have 1 business/self-improvement book and 1 or 2 fiction novels on the go (the tell if i have 2 fiction novels on the go ...then the first one isnt holding me...).
best of all time- - too many to list and too many years to try and think back over! But recently have read a few good ones. Hearing heartbeats is a good one, as well just finished You before Me -- easy read and tearjerker but good.0 -
Shogun is my fave book, read it once a year
The Dresden Files, The Black Company, and anything by Ed Greenwood make my list.0 -
I would have to say my all time favorite is Thinner-- by Stephen King, I could not put it down!! I have to also say that my mushy side really loved the biography by Patrick Swayze and his wife.. truly a good guy and sexy as hell too!0

But my absolute favorite books are the Dark Tower series by SK.
I reread them every summer...I'm just about to begin on Wizard and Glass
I love the Dark Tower series. I've heard they are going to be made into a movie or tv series and I seriously hope it doesn't happen. It would just ruin it.
I deeply and sincerely hope this doesn't happen.
But Clint Eastwood would be the perfect Roland....imho.....the eyes, the voice. Yep.0 -
Flowers for Algernon
Walden
48 Laws of Power
God is not Great
Think and Grow Rich0 -
Absolute all-time fav? The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein.
But looking up a few posts, I'm seeing Shogun, which is a great reminder -- I've missed that one for a while!0 -
The very first to find it's way into my heart and gave me a love for reading was "Ferdinand the Bull," read to me by my grandpa. He was an amazing narrator and made the book interesting and fun every time he read it. I never tired of it.
My brother captured him on video reading it just before his mind deteriorated and he was placed in a nursing home. He's been gone almost 12 years now and I can still hear his voice reading that book. It will be the first book I read to my grandchildren. I hope I can do it justice!0 -
My favorite book? I hate to say that 50 shades book, but it probably is.
I've never read it, but my wife has...and thus it is a very good book in my opinion. There are a few others that I don't know the names of or titles to...but I like them too (again, I've never read them).0 -
My favorite book is She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb.0

I agree with Clint Eastwood, but it would almost have to be him from 10-15 years ago. I really can't picture anyone else in the role.0 -
No longer human by Osamu Dazai (it's a classic.)
I also enjoyed from the Corner of his Eye by Dean Koontz on the no so classic scale0 -
Can't choose one. They are like kids - All beautiful, with gifts to offer, but different from each other. That said here are some of the ones that come to mind:
Little Women - Louisa May Alcott
Shipwreck at the Bottom of the World (non fiction account of Ernest Shackleton's ill fated expedition to Antarctica, but he managed to lead his crew to safety. He was true grit personified).
David Copperfield - Charles ****ens
Love this thread!0 -
My all time favorite books are The Lord of the Ring Trilogy0

I love Ferdinand! Children's books are a whole 'nother thread! Let's see:
Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus; No David! ; Where the Wild Things Are; Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day; Pippi Longstocking; Harry the Dirty Dog.0 -
I also got hooked by Nancy Drew. The Flowers in the Attic were popular but disturbing now im an adult.
