MY FAVORITE BOOKS! WHAT'S YOURS!
This is a place where, you, the reading community can tell me what your all time favorite books are. I would love to know what literature you are drawn to or, if one of my choices didn't necessarily hit your top list, I would like to know that too. This forum is for you so please, share your viewpoints here with me! I hope to discuss a good, or bad read with you soon! In the meantime, happy reading!

Deanna Brading about 1 year agoand for non fiction I enjoyed Lulliabies for little Criminals, Kite Runner (of course)
My favourite book for a long time was "Clan of the cave bear" ,the first book in the series by Jean Auel. Unfortuneately the later books were not as stimulating but this is still the first book that comes to mind. "The red tent" by Anita Diamont was another favourite as was "The time travellers wife"..... Books by Barbara Kingslover especially "The Poisonwood bible" .. "Alias Grace"by Margaret Attwood.... "Life of Pi".... "Extremely loud and incredibly close" by Jonathan Safron Foer, books by Jasper FForde and recently "The Trout Opera" by Michael Condon... So many favourites !!! It is too hard to choose!!!!
Facebook User about 1 year agoright now my favorite book is "Shantaram" by Gregory David Roberts. The author tells about his years spent in India after escaping prison. the book is so beautifully and vividly written. it covers so many things i wouldn't even know where to begin to summarize the book without giving something away. the way he writes about India and its people is breathtaking. the book is 900+ pages and is so worth reading.
Mika Markova about 1 year agoThat is an excellent list you have there, I've read and enjoyed most of them. For me Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace reigns supreme, followed by The Debt to Pleasure by John Lanchester and Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer. Fourth on my list is The True History of the Kelly Gang by Peter Carey. One can also read anything by Margaret Atwood, Joyce Carol Oates and Khaled Hosseini.
Marie Theron about 1 year agoI would definitely recommend "A Thousand Splendid Suns" by the same author, it is better than "The Kite Runner"...
Facebook User about 1 year agoI would have to a gree with Manesh. I loved both books but enjoyed "A Thousand Splendid Suns" more.
Facebook User about 1 year agoAtonement and Chesil Beach by Iain McEwan, Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe, Peace Like a River by Leif Enger, A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, Snowflower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See, The Time Traveler's Wife, and Black Like Me.

so many great books, hard to choose, but definately the time travellers wife, atonement, running with scissors (by Augusten Burroughs), and maybe top of the list A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving. Though nearly all of his books are fab.
