I don't think I can narrow my favorite book down to one book- or even the top ten. I just love a great book! Once I find an author I really like, I'll read everything that they have written. Think Dan Brown, J.K. Rowling...

Aside from the Bible..."The Shack" by William Paul Young. This book was the best emotional rollercoaster ride yet. Very well written, and way better than the movie.

That is a very difficult question to answer. I would have to break it down into genres:

Romance: The Unrequited by Saffron A. Kent
Science Fiction: Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
Horror: Bird Box by Josh Malerman
Fantasy: Harry Potter by J. K. Rowling
Children's: The Wolves in the Walls by Neil Gaiman
Young Adult: I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson

Everyone else is being reasonable and saying it depends on a multitude of things, or saying it is impossible to have a favourite. I like to challenge myself with an illogical list I know will be useless in thee months' time. Maybe even three minutes. :roll:

I know most people quote classics like 1984 or The Giver, but my favourite book is A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara. I've read the book four times since, but every read still brings forth emotions I never knew existed. Reading about Jude (the main character around whom the story revolves) and his life has changed me profoundly.
I felt like I grew so much emotionally after reading it, even if I cried maybe 20 times throughout. The four main characters are strangely relatable in their own ways, even if their experiences can be uncommon. This book is so great I hesitate to recommend it to anyone who isn't a book lover, and who hasn't read countless mediocre books prior, because I would hate for someone to read it and not fully grasp how well-written it is.

My favorite book is Wonder and The Tale Of Despereaux. You should read it. It is so cute and well written. It is great for kids to start reading at a young age. I hope everyone can read these books eventually.

I have a lot of favorite books, but I love Gone with the wind by Margaret Mitchell. Inspires me everytime and cant help the intense emotional journey I go through every time.

My favorite book would be To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper lee

It’s show on how the character is and how her perspective never changed. How she makes us see how to not judge a person based on rumors.

The Humans by Matt Haig. Pick it up for a funny interpretation of alien life landing on earth.

Incredibly difficult to nail down one book, but whenever I see this question, my mind almost always goes immediately to ‘A Confederacy of Dunces.’ Probably have read it 4 or 5 times and I always thoroughly enjoy it.

I would have to say 'Take What You Want' By Anne Mather. This was my first adult novel. I was a virgin both literally and figuratively where reading adult romance was concerned. I lost the latter that day, and after all these years it has remained my number one. :)
