What is your favorite book?

[dogzr#1]

I was just thinking about the book I am reading now and how I absolutely love it. So I was wondering what your favorite book is? Mine is The Cobra Event by Richard Preston.

My favorite book? The Catcher in the Rye..........yes, I'm sure it's a cliche but I really do love it

My other favorite books are "Leave My Behind" by Bart Yates (I believe that's the author) and anything by Christopher Rice.....His "Snow Garden" was wonderful. I'm reading "Light Before Day" by Christopher Rice right now.

I simply love books in general! Happy Reading.

Without a doubt, To Kill A Mockingbird- can't live in Alabama and love reading without being crazy about that book. My favorite author, though, would be Jane Austen, closely followed by Dickens, Henry James, EMFOrster, and DHLarence. I don't read much modern literature, but I do like James Patterson and Jeffrey Deaver.

I've read far too many to have a favorite book... even a favorite author is hard. Right now I'm digging Jodi Picoult. Of course, there's my pastor's wife, Kim, that just published her first book. link to her book on amazon.com

I am not much of a reader these days. Seems like the only books I read are Technical manuals on operating electronic equipment - pretty dry stuff, but they have happy endings. When I did read it was minimal, but I did find some that I would recommend for all ages and generations (and NO - I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT HARRY POTTER)!!! These are my top 5!

1. To Kill a Mockingbird - if you haven't read this book then you need to stop whatever you are doing and go get it! It will leave a lasting impression on you that will stay with you for the rest of your life.

Without a doubt, To Kill A Mockingbird- can't live in Alabama and love reading without being crazy about that book.

2. Flowers for Algenon - wanna cry, this will tear you up and make you appreciate everyday things. "I beat the MOUSE"!!!

3. Of Mice and Men - need I say more???

4. The Red Pony - another Steinbeck Classic

5. Catcher in the Rye - funny and thought provoking

My favorite book? The Catcher in the Rye..........yes, I'm sure it's a cliche but I really do love it

6. Heidi (I know I said 5, but this one is too good not to mention) - a Classic for both young and old. If you haven't read it, you've maybe seen sweet Shirley Temple on Turners Classics late night. A great read for younger folks...

OK... that's my 2¢.

Hey... and a little plug for an associate of mine. If you are a younger reader (or an adult with less than a broad vocabulary), you might be interested in "WordKey". It is a small vocabulary/dictionary insert that serves as both a "BOOKMARK" and a "DICTIONARY". It highlights all/most challenging words that appear throughout the text of a book with simple and comprehensive definitions. Makes reading a lot easier on many folks and really helps to get the immediate full impact of the author's meaning!!!

I know he has versions for some of the before mentioned titles - as well as many others. Ask your local bookstores if they carry it. If not, you can contact him at [email protected] or [email protected]. They are really worth it for a satisfying read!!!

Flowers for Algernon is a favorite of mine. My daughter met Cliff Robertson, the actor who played Algernon in the movie about a year ago. He has his airplane fixed where she works.

Another couple of favs of mine are Likes Music, Loves to Dance (can't remember the author, although it's on the tip of my tongue) and Bridges of Madison County. I cried through the whole book.
