It is hard for me to choose one, but maybe I would choose the Humiliated and Insulted because it was the first book I read that was not for children when I was only ten years old. I loved it and I fell in love wiht its principal character. I could never undestand Natasha's decisions.

I love The Maze Runner series although I've never actually read them. I saw the movie (I know, I'm bad) and read wikis on the whole series. I tried reading them, trust me. I couldn't read them because the whole thing was spoiled for me already. I'm still going to say The Maze Runner series because that's just how awesome it is.

It used to be Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett but after reading it about four times, it is now Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell or possibly Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke. :D

Latest Review: "Take Back the Memory" by Augustine Sam

Post by Meehan_Connor »

The Perks of Being a Wallflower is my favorite ever. I've read a lot of novels that I have been wow'd by, but when I read Perks I was in a pretty bad place. I thought I was going to hate it, and by the end, I'd cried for the first time in two years, and it made me better.

I don's think I have a favorite book. Maybe I just haven't read it yet.

Also, Madness, by Marya Hornbacher.

I like memoirs, as you can see.

My favorite book ever is Before I Fall. I love the way it is written and love the amount of honesty in the book.

Super tough question. The last series to give me a true "book hangover" was The Hunger Games. I couldn't get it out of my head for days, and couldn't bring myself to start anything else! Love a book that stays with you!

Not sure its my favorite "of all time" but one that I enjoy reading from time to time is 'Survivor' by Chuck Palahniuk. I really enjoy his deeply crafted characters and never ending twists. For me, right now, his style rocks.
