Your favourite Book

Ill check Secrets of The Code. Tell Me Your Dreams was not my thing. Once i knew the girl had MPD, the rest was just too boring. I had watched the Indian film 'dewangi' so it was hardly fun. But once i finished reading i was almost always like 'pop! goes the weasel'..lol.

I don’t get the fascination with Dan Brown, his writing style is poor imo. It’s almost as if he writes the book knowing full well they’ll be made into films.

I love reading, especially the classics. I’ll class my favourites as books I’ve read more than once and will probably read again and again:
Animal Farm, 1984, A Clockwork Orange, The Catcher in the Rye, To Kill a Mockingbird, Far from the Madding Crowd, Tess of the D’ubervilles (I’m a huge Hardy fan) Crime and Punishment, Memoirs of a Geisha, The Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns, Of Mice and Men, Dracula, Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights and most of Charles Dickens’ work.

As a child I loved The Secret Garden, The Chronicles of Narnia, Lord of the Rings, Peter Pan and The Jungle Book :@:

Okay I obviously can’t choose a favourite :bummer: If I had to choose it’d be Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky, I remember reading it for the first time and being completely blown away.

sigh Yes! I’m a bit of a bookworm

also check for John Grisham`s Books :slight_smile: his way of expressing is nice :hug:

Re: Your favourite Book

Love, Pray, Eat by Elizabeth Gilbert is a fun read although at some points, she is very annoying.

That bit sounds true lol. Still i like his writings.:@: Memories of geisha took me forever to complete:bummer:

Paulo Coelho is the man whose name i can never memorize. I have read a lot of books by him but missed Alchemist. I got it last night:party:

i simply love this :wub:

Re: Your favourite Book

Fiction: I couldn't say which is my favourite book, but I love the work of Kamila Shamsie (I'm reading 'Burnt Shadows' now) and Carlos Ruiz Zafón from the contemporary writers, plus some other authors as well. Of the classics I love the writings of Proust and Woolf, but they're not the only ones.

Non-fiction: Quran.

And if I couldn't have any difference between fiction and non-fiction, it'd be the Quran.

Re: Your favourite Book

Marina Lewycka's books are hilarous, e.g. "A Short History of Tractors in Ukranian".

Garth Steins' "The Art of Racing in the Rain" blew me away - funny and sad but a very uplifting ending (written from the point of view of a dog!).

Chris Cleave's "Incendiary" and "The Other Hand" (called "Little Bee" in US/Canada for some reason) - amazingly written, but not "light" subjects.

If you like The Alchemist, you might like John Fowles "The Magus".

Travelogues - Anne Mustoe's "The Lone Traveller" - a 60-something English teacher who sets off across the world on a bike (she's never ridden one before".

All time favourite historical account, for sheer inspiration when things couldn't look more bleak try Ernest Shackleton's "South."

So many books, so little time
