What's your favorite book?

I wouldnt worry too much about that. I saw on another website that its just the end of a cycle, something to do with the positions of the planets. But I feel sorry for those poor saps who maxed out their credit cards.

I have to answer this question like this: My favourite book right now is The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. Nonetheless, I love all sorts of books, especially history and Children's Literature.

I haven't read many books, but out of the ones I have read, I would say The Da Vinci Code is my favorite!

My Favorite book is "The Da Vinci Code".

All I can say is "really?" I think I could give you a list of at least 1000 better books.

Hi, could you tell me some books which are similar to "The Da Vinci Code"?

My Favorite book is "The Da Vinci Code".

Mine too!

If you like a book about a mystery with a religious theme, might I suggest Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose. It is many times better than anything Dan Brown ever wrote.

@Redlegs
I can't imagine a fan of Dan Brown being impressed with Umberto Eco ... bet they wouldn't get past the first chapter (and I'm not being snobbish just realistic)

You may well be right Fran - I can only suggest.

P & P is one of my favourites. I think I have mentioned here before that I have named one of my cats Mr Darcy.

Whats your comment?

I did enjoy War and Peace (although I thought it should have been called War and Love ) The last part seemed more like an essay than part of a novel.

Sons and Lovers -D.H. Laurence

I haven't read that one yet, but I do love Women in Love and Lady Chatterley's Lover by Lawrence. The Rainbow is currently in my reading pile. I will get to Sons and Lovers one of these days.

She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb stands out. Also, The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, Carson McCullers is not forgettable in my mind.

Its gotta be "The Robe" by Lloyd C. Douglas! I have never been touched as deeply or transported as much as I was while reading that book! Masterful! While I am reading that book, no other world exists!! lol

As I haven't read that much it is a bit premature for me to day. However, I found "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle" by David Wrobleski to be fantastic.

I read War and Peace during junior year of my high school,and to be frank,it took me all my vacation of two months to complete it,that when i'm a really fast reader.It was hardwork. Firstly I needed a dictionary to translate all those french phrasings ,used all over the book. Also,at times it felt like reading a history book,when Tolstoy left all the characters and started narrating the political scenario of the war. All the time during war part ,I kept wondering whats going on back in moscow. Overall ,a great book, but not my favorite one.

[CelestiaRose]

Umm...wait.....i got it.... I LOVE THEM ALL!!! ^_^

All books are just fantastic, each of them are great in a way, but there are some books that i really love because those are the only books i couldn't really figure out what was going to happen next.

Moby Dick by Herman Melville. I don't really know why, but maybe because of the language..? Also, it has a little of everything, from Boy's Own adventure to a treatise on early whaling practices...

A close contender would have to be Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian stark, grimly beautiful, epic language...

Hmmm, tough call!

[RHYW]

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë is my favorite. The novel depicts the fact that true love is spiritual rather than just physical. A must read!

I found this novel on ReadHowYouWant website.
