What's your favorite book and why?

Answer 1

Pride And Predjudice, because it shows how love can make a fool of you, and allow room for forgiveness eventually, and it is simply the most romantic story ever written,and they will never make a movie that measures up to this book, no matter how many times they try.

Answer 2

"Katherine" by Anya Seton

Because it quite accurately follows one of the most romantic true stories in history. John of Gaunt was a younger son of King Edward III and one of the richest and most powerful men in England when he met Katherine de Roet, a simple herald's daughter. The two of them fell in love with the knowledge that marriage between them would be impossible and spent the next thirty years dealing with the consequences of their relationship.

Anya Seton had a knack for creating characters that seem like real people. With this book, she plopped her readers right down into the nitty and gritty fourteenth century to let them follow this great story of love and war. I still sigh with contentment every time I get to the last page.

Answer 3

Dark Demon by Christine Feehan.

While I like the whole series, this one shows the power of the carpathians in a whole new light, and the dragonseekers are beginning to reemerge as a bloodline. The next book comes out in september, and I can't wait.

The series is about Carpathians, a race of vampire-like men and women, and what they go through just trying to live normal lives. It is about vampires, my favorite topic, and it's a romance novel series, which I love to no end. If you like vampires and romance novels, this will be right up your alley. Check out her site... she does more than just the dark series.

Answer 4

John Kinsella's The New Arcadia.

He writes and entire Australian landscape as it progresses from pastoral to antipastoral. He sucessfully writes a book length poem divided into subtitles that can each stand on their own. He is a beautiful and amazing naturalist author, who fights for indegenous rights without preaching. He promotes his cause by showing the stark reality of the new landscape--the causes and effects of "western" life.

Answer 5

That is very hard. I have many for many reasons. And I liked many at many different times in my life that I don't feel the same about anymore because I am older and my youth is gone and what seemed like pure wonderful idyllic truth and dream is now just a wonderland from my past. But I really like Post Office by Charles Bukowski because it is very harsh and dark and I think it is hilarious.

Answer 6

A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving. He's my favorite author and it's his best work. A touching and funny book, with all of Irving's usual quirkiness and warmth.

Answer 7

I have becomed addicted to the SisterChicks series by Robin Jones Gunn, and also the YadaYada Prayer Group series by Neta Jackson. These are wonderful books. They are spiritual fiction and easy to relate with the characters and their lives.

Answer 8

Count of Montecristo by Alexander Dumas.Its about a young French sailor who was unjustly imprisoned for 14 years before he escapes and ultimately takes revenge on his enemies.The author did a great job describing the emotions of the prisoner.Disbelief,denial,self pity,madness,apathy and finally hope.

Answer 9

I like a series it is the Dresden files by Jim Butcher.
I like it because it is a bit unconventional.
The main Character is a wizard who advertises in the yellow pages and tends to be sort of a Private investigator also. He is what it would be like to have wizards and other things roaming around in modern times.

Answer 10

Jubilee by Margaret Walker. It tells about life on the plantation before and during the Civil War from the viewpoint of Vyry a slave who is almost identical to her half white sister.
