My favorite book is called Dat nooit. (it's a dutch title) It's about a young girl and her father wants her to marry a very old man. She tries to get out of it and just before she has to marry him he dies so she gets to marry the man handsome son.

[emonerdx]

I loved Gingerbread by Racheal Cohn... the girl reminded me alot of myself i guess...

[Angelexi]

My favorite books are Harry Potter, LOTR, and Christopher Pike. I aslo enjoy reading Stephen king.

[chinfo]

HP and LOTR are excellent of course, but I usually would choose classics than modern novels which I find lacking in style and depth.

[itasor]

<--likes "Holes"

[Donegal]

Yah holes is really good. It is nicely rounded and has some funny and ronical moments.
I cant stand harry potter. It is a childs book.
I used to like LOTR but i couldn't read it now.It just seems boring because it is a case of one thing happening and then another and then another....
The only thing i like in it now are some of the characters and the way they develop.
I like His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman and i have red two thirds of the way through war and peace.

My favorite book is called Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt. It's about the author's time in Savannah, Georgia exploring the city and meeting interesting people. Berendt makes friends with one of Savannah's most notable people, Jim Williams, and later becomes his confidant when Williams is accused of murder. This is 100% real, yet it reads like a brilliant work of fiction. I can't remember how many times I've read it, but every time it gets better.

I liked the book so much that my mom and I went on vacation to Savannah. We followed the 'official' tour following Berendt's travels. It's funny because in Savannah, Midnight.. has become known simply as 'The Book'. There are giftshops, tours, even a coffeehouse geared for fans of the book.


Aside from that, I really like Margaret Atwood's novels. I had to read The Handmaid's Tale for senior english, but it was excellent. Alias Grace, too is a wonderful book.

John Jakes has a great series called 'The Kent Chronicles.' My mom read the series when she was a teenager and passed her copies on to me.

[qingtian]

I don't really have a favourite book, currently I'm reading "To Kill a Mockingbird", it's pretty good - has anybody read it? - I think you should read it sometime cuz you can learn some inspirational stuff in the book

[Spectre]

To Kill a Mocking Bird was a good story, and it was well-written, but I didn't particularly like it. It just wasn't really my kind of book.

[dreamerspiritt]

I'm not sure if I'd call this my <i>favorite</i> book, but it was certainly one of the most haunting, but Night by Elie Wisel. It's a real account of what life was like in concentration camps in Germany. It's extremely scary that all of it was TRUE.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I just recently read The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren. The book is christian-based and does a great job in explaining our divine pupose here on earth. It's a forty-day exploration (forty chapters), but I went a little slower in order to absorb the subjects and apply them to my life (approx. 4 months). I really enjoyed this book and hope to read it again in the near future.

Side Note: It's amazing to me how much I read now when compared to how little I read in high school. I think this was due to being required (dare I say "forced" ) to read the books my teachers assigned to me.

Ciao!

[Thunder]

Yep Harry Potter is an excellent book to read and also Alex Rider Series are also good.

[srbin]

[hansley]

Does book in this topic can be referred as comic?
Hope so because I LOVE comics...I read them regularly...
Some of my favourites are:
1. Slam Dunk --> Tells about a newbie basketball member who has outstanding ability in basket that he was not aware of.
2. Shin Kotaro --> Tells about a peverted martial expert who somehow always find himself in the middle of a battle.
3. Kenji --> A young boy in a journey to find his grandfather and on the way learn a lot of martial arts.
Hehehe...I really like reading martial arts comics though I don't like practicing it.
Well I do have some novels that I like to read, all of them are Sci-Fi of course.
1. Animorphs --> Tells about a group of teenagers that have the capability to transform into other living creatures and in a journey to stop an invasion.
2. There is no other novels that I like...hehehehe...Told you that I LOVE comics...lol

Godel, Escher, Bach by Douglas Hofstadter
Godel is a mathematician who proved that any useful consistent symbolic system is incomplete.
Escher is an artist whose drawings contain self-referential themes, tesselations, and paradoxes.
Bach is a master musician whose music contains mathematical elements for the keen observer to notice.
This is a FABULOUS book.

I love the 'Protector of the Small' quartet by Tamora Pierce. The plot is near perfect. But I've rather grown out of them. Her new book that came out not long ago is pretty good too. But I gotta say it's rather hard to pick favorites. I mostly only read fantasy but some of it is so boring and fake. Harry Potter is real good. But some of it is pretty fake. Artemis Fowl books aren't too bad. All of these are rather childish though. Nora Roberts is very good too. She's mystery and romance.=)

[gdpglc]

My favorite book is jane ever

[Music]

Alright, My favorite books are

The Cirque de Freak series

Battlefield Earth

Ender' Game series

DragonLance series

Eragon

The stand

[Caveman]

gdpglc, surely you mean Jane Eyre, right? I agree, it is a fantastic book. Very moving and emotional...it chronicles a fascinating journey. It incorporates some gothic elements and some intense imagery to capture a historical environment that beautifully fits the unique storyline. When I first saw the pastel cover (I was assigned to read the book in English class last year), I have to admit that I was very disappointed. Luckily, I was proven wrong, and it turned out to be one of my most favorite books of all time. It's classic and a must-read! Highly recommended to all!
