Best book I have read so far is Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. I have a bit of a twisted, cynical mind (you can tell by my posts!) so that book was right up my alley, just couldn't stop laughing at the absurdity of it all! Reply #1. Aug 01 07, 12:52 AM |

I could never pick just one book, my favourite changes according to what I've just read. I have some that I read over and over, - comfort books, so I suppose one of those. I always like the book I'm just about to start too - there's nothing like reading a book for the first time and realising it's good :-D Reply #2. Aug 01 07, 2:00 AM |

Primo Levi's If This Is A Man/ The Truce is special. Seldom enjoyable, for obvious reasons, but it means a lot to me: a kind of nexus between history, testimony, literature and science, from a man who respected all those things and was ready to use them, and use them together in his own very special way, against the horrible, nonsensical, muderous regime which placed him inside a death camp. So that makes it a favourite. For sheer drink-in-the-greatness enormity of it, King Lear, Paradise Lost, Ulysses and the Collected TS Eliot (his dodgy politics notwithstanding - see my first choice for where I stand on that.) For unadulterated pleasure, anything by Robertson Davies and Scoop by Evelyn Waugh - the funniest thing every. Reply #4. Aug 17 07, 9:28 PM |

I have many favorite books, all of them wonderfully entertaining but if I had to pick one, it would be Angels and Demons by Dan Brown, the prequel to the Da Vinci Code. The book was pure excitement from the beginning and kept me wondering at the end of each chapter. Reply #5. Aug 18 07, 6:16 PM |

Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" - it's the only book that as soon as I finished reading it, I immediately began to re-read it. Reply #6. Aug 19 07, 12:18 AM |

Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice i have read it 3 times and plan to do so again soon. It is the only book that i have ever immediately re-read after finishing it the first time. It never ceases to keep me interested. Reply #7. Aug 21 07, 1:41 AM |

I don't know if its my favorite, but I think "The Lord Of The Rings" trilogy is by far the most well written. Reply #10. Aug 24 07, 9:38 PM |

"To Say Nothing of the Dog" by Connie Willis. It is a must read for all book buffs as it is so full of literary illusions. It is also a reasonable who-dunnit - my husband who annoys me no end by solving any plot twist in the first chapter took until almost the end to figure this one out. Reply #12. Aug 29 07, 6:00 AM |

The Three Musketeers, by Alexandre Dumas, most of Lee Child's Jack Reacher series, Stephen King's Dark Tower series, and the Harry Potter books. All good reading, all entertaining, all with storylines that keep me interested! APR Reply #13. Aug 29 07, 7:08 AM |

This is Tough! I've read many a book that has kept the midnight oil burning. But it would have to be " The Power of One" by Bryce Courtney. Set in Sth Africa during apartheid. Reply #18. Feb 12 08, 10:02 PM |
