'Anna Karenina' by Tolstoy has to be a favourite. 'The Count of Monte Cristo' by Alexandre Dumas is up there as well!

My favorite "book" is the Pendragon series by D.J. MacHale as a whole. I grew up reading those ever since the first one came out and bought the new book each time less than a week after its release. I just have a big attachment to those books.

Favorite book... mmm, that's a mighty hard thing to decide no? If I had to choose just one, I'd throw in for Jack London's Call Of The Wild (1st pub'd in 1903).

Here's my favorite passage:

'There is an ecstasy that marks the summit of life, and beyond which life cannot rise. And such is the paradox of living, this ecstasy comes when one is most alive, and it comes as a complete forgetfulness that one is alive. This ecstasy, this forgetfulness of living, comes to the artist, caught up and out of himself in a sheet of flame; it comes to the soldier, war-mad on a stricken field and refusing quarter; and it came to Buck, leading the pack, sounding the old wolf-cry, straining after the food that was alive and that fled swiftly before him through the moonlight.

He was sounding the deeps of his nature, and of the parts of his nature that were deeper than he, going back into the womb of Time. He was mastered by the sheer surging of life, the tidal wave of being, the perfect joy of each separate muscle, joint, and sinew in that it was everything that was not death, that it was aglow and rampant, expressing itself in movement, flying exultantly under the stars and over the face of dead matter that did not move.'

Good stuff...

I've read so many, and continue to read so many, this is a tough one. I think, for absolute all time favorite, it would be a toss up between Lisey's Story by Stephen King and Fried Green Tomatoes by Fannie Flagg. The books are incredibly different, not even remotely close in genre, but there is a thread common to each of them. That thread being the story of a love that overcame everything thrown at it. They tend to remind me that no matter what may happen, if love is true and strong, it can outlast all the bad times and survive, not only survive but quite probably be stronger for it.

Yeah. Liseys Story is an excellent book and a great example of the difference in King's style and characterization of his novels after his infamous road accident in 1999. Pre 1999, his novels were fast paced terror rollercoasters. Post 1999, he found a different level of maturing his characters to tease out the story in a satisfying manner without ever protracting or frustrating the reader. Another great example of this is Duma Key.

My favorite is Dear John (and I love the movie, too.) I think its very well written and I just love the story, I think its really sweet. But also very sad. Only thing is I'm not overly happy with the ending....
