Eragon is my very favourite, then Eldest and im waiting for the third one so I can add it to the list
My favourite is The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. after that comes Running With Scissors by Augusten Burroughs, Thumbsucker by Walter Kirn, and On Writing by Stephen King.
My new favourite book for this week is... 'The Time Traveler's Wife'. Great story, in my opinion, and nice for light reading. I'm also reading 'The Inner Voice' a biography on opera singer Renee Fleming, which is really well done, and a nutrition book called 'Nourishing Traditions', which is absolutely awesome! My opinions on books change from week to week. My staple favorite is Gone With The Wind.
I have no favourite book BUT I do have a favourite bunch of series. Anyone know the forgotten realms series's that R.A.Salvatore has done with Drizzt Do'Urden and the like. Those without a doubt are my favourite books, though I like them all equally. Eragon and Eldest come up close but they're too childish to be my favourites.
Wow...an impossible question. I like Nabokov's Pale Fire, Borges' Labyrinths, The Arcades Project by Walkter Benjamin, A Confederacy of Dunces,The Ticklish Subject....but I think my all time number one has to be Jeeves In the Offing by P.G.Wodehouse. That man makes me laugh like a lunatic on the train in the mornings. As we say 抱腹絶倒！
Monsoon, by Wilbur Smith. Read it if you're into the epic without the fantasy. Great historical nove.
Dune... indeed, one of the most excellent books to date... Well I did love "the Pillars of Solomon" by jon land
Hard to pick, really. They're all pretty diverse. Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. Library of Congress called it the second most influential book ever written. The deed of Paksenarrion by Elizabeth Moon Bell, Book, and Murder: The Bast Mysteries by Rosemary Edghill.
My all time favourite book, especially at about the age of 16, is by an Australian author - Bryce Courtenay, and is called the Power Of One. It was eventually made into a dreadful movie, but I read my original copy til it fell apart. Over and over! It is just beautiful, and so emotive.
I've been avoiding Bryce for some reason. But I think I'll pick up one of his books in the near future. He does get good reviews.
Dune by Frank Hubert Wizard & Glass by Stephen King (in my opinion it is the best of the Dark Tower series) Without Remorse by Tom Clancy War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells
Do you really like Wizard & Glass that much? I thought it was a little boring. Not as bad as Song of Susannah. My personal favourite was The Drawing of the Three, followed by The Dark Tower (minus where King added himself in), the journey to the tower was so great. Many memorable moments.
The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde Although in a different league I have tremendously enjoyed recently the satire on the French that Stephen Clarke has been putting out - In The Merde, Merde Actually etc
Yeah, I really did like it. I can see where someone could see it as a slow story. I also may have given The Drawing of the Three an undeserved knock. However, that was not what I wanted to do. I just enjoyed finally learning more about Roland as a more full character. It may also be that there was about 2+ years between Wastelands and Wizard & Glass. How could he tourture constant reader like that? Rob
Love and Other Demons by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. is my favorite right now. But anything I've read by Marquez would easily qualify for a very high position in my top. The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro After the Banquet by Yukio Mishima Rahomon by Akutagawa War and Peace by Tolstoi The Death Blow by Marguerite Yourcenar but that's because I relate to it very much. The Book Of Happines by Nina Berberova. It's just so light and yet complicated at the same time.
