Answer 1

There is no possible way I can choose my absolute favorite book, though I can give a short list of favorites. Javakosh, by Jeanette Mirll. The story is an interesting tale of a young girl named Jorjanna Vienna Kuniko Smith, who hates her long name, and asks people call her Jo. She discovers she can actually visit an island she created in one of her stories, and embarks on a strange trip to Javakosh, where she encounters many different adventures. I find it hard to summarize that one. I would suggest Gordon Korman, a humorous author, who wrote such books as The Twinkie Squad, I Want to Go Home, and The War with Mr. Wizzle. The Twinke Squad is a story of Douglas Fairchild, writer, dreamer, and son of diplomats. He was born in a place called Pefkakia, and tries to bring the true spirit of the Immortal Ano Pefki to a typical Washington D.C. High School. In I Want to Go Home, Rudy Miller hates camp. He did not want to go, he does not want to stay, and he will not rest until he escapes. The War with Mr. Wizzle is part of a series, Bruno and Boots, though you do not have to read the whole set. The story is set in a private school in Canada, Macdonald Hall. Two boys, Bruno and Boots, rebel against the increasingly ridiculous demands of a new addition to the school board, Mr. Wizzle.

My favourite book would have to be the Belgariad by David Eddings. It is about a group of charictors who have to go in search of the Orb of Alder, which has been stolen by a disiple of the evil god Torak. The best thing about the series is the different charictors. Theres Silk who is a spy for the Drasnian intellengence service, a prince of Drasnia, an extremely funny man(especially when it comes to Relgs ability to phase through walls) and the one you cant help but falll in love with. Then theres Durnik. The complete opposite of silk. Strong, sturdy and a sensible guy. The charictors all range when it comes to personalities. From the two I have just describled to the the religious zealot to the fiery little princess. I strongly recomend this the series. There are five books which are (in order): Pawn of Prophesy, Queen of Sorcery, Magicians Gambit, Castle of wizadry and Enchanters End Game. there is also a sepual to this series called The Mallorean which is also an amazing five part series.
Happy reading.

I have also several favorite books, but one that I read again and again very often, is Bulgakov´s Master and Margarita.

There are three different story-lines.
The first is Satan visiting Moscow.
The second is Jesus meeting Pontius Pilate
The third is about Margarita, who goes to Satan´s great spring ball.

It is very difficult to describe the book, because it just has layer on layer on layer. It even starts making sense after you have read it through several times. The book is best described by Wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Master_and_Margarita which you can read if you are more interested in the book.

My favorite book is OF HUMAN BONDAGE by W. Somerset Maughn. This is a great story about a guy named Philip who ambles through life looking for some reason why he is alive. He tries many different and diverse occupations, he meets and gets screwed over by women, and he experiences loss and triumph. I really identified with Philip, as I think most people can; the story of an ordinary guy wondering if ordinary is all right, or if extraordinary is more his calling, matches what is in my heart.

Answer 5

One of my favourite books is "Word of Honour" by Nelson De Mille.

It is about a man who, on his way home from work on a train, is sitting opposite a friend who is reading a book about Vietnam. The friend keep looking at him ans asks if he has read the book. He reads a passage from the book naming him as a soldier who committed atrocities in Vietnam. The subsequent events are heart wrenching and the court case is compelling.
The author managed to rip my heart out and stamp on it several times in the fist 40 pages.

Answer 7

The Stephenie Plum books by Janet Evanovich. I've read them about three times. They're about a female bounty hunter who always gets her man, when he doesn't get her that is. It has crass humor, mystery and suspense and a hint of romance. The books are numbered One through Twelve now, but you can read one and it is a complete story by itself.

Answer 8

Gone with the Wind...I love it!! it's a great love story, although it is very long, and there are some parts about the war (American Civil War that is) but it's really good....Scarlett is the a southern belle, the most popular one in her county, and is in love with a man she can't have, then the war comes and throws their genteel society into chaos

Answer 9

I've got lots of favourite books, but I very much like dream atlas by philip mitchell. It sort of a story within a story within a story. It mixes genres and timescales and characters, so you are constantly being challanged, but it all comes back round to link them together in the end. I loved it!
