What's you're all-time favorite book and why?

Answer 1

Charles Dumas: Monte Christo

Answer 2

The Agony and The Ecstasy by Irving Stone. I read it as a teen, and it remains my favorite book ever. It taught me that books are more than just stories..that they paint pictures with words, have emotions. Most of all, it taught me to look beyond the surface, to see what can't be seen, hear what can't be heard, and never to take anything at face value. Kinda deep lessons for a young teen, but ones that have lasted all my years, and never done me any harm. Because it touched me so deeply, I kept on reading...a passion...and have read many, many other wonderful books that I would never have picked up if this one book didn't sink so deeply into the core of me.

Answer 3

"The Phantom of the Opera" by Gaston Leroux is my all time favorite! The fascinating plot line mixed with Erik's twisted view of the world, forbidden love and revenge make this one of the best novels that I have ever read. Also, I like the way that the character of Erik is portrayed in the book more so than all of the movies/theatrical productions because by the end of the novel, the reader feels his utter loneliness and prays that Christine will stay and finally give Erick the happiness he had been denied his whole life.... but I'll stop now........

Answer 4

I love supernatural and fantasy books.

Dresden file book series by Jim Butcher.There are 8 books in the series beginning with stormfront.Each novel in the series is told from the fictional perspective of Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden (named by his father after Harry Houdini, Harry Blackstone, Sr., and David Copperfield). Dresden is the only professional wizard in modern-day Chicago (he is in the phone book, under "Wizards").In the world of The Dresden Files, magic is real, along with vampires, demons, spirits, faeries, werewolves, and more. The general public that Harry Dresden works to protect does not believe in magic or the large array of dark forces which regularly conspire against them. This makes it tough for Harry to get by as a working wizard and private eye.He is aided by Bob,a talking skull.Karrin Murphy-a police officer and Thomas-a white court vampire.

Dragonjousters series(joust,alta,sanctuary,Aerie) by Mercedes Lackey.The setting is ancient Egypt.Hunger, anger, and hatred are constants for young Vetch, rendered a brutally mistreated and overworked serf by the Tian conquest of his homeland. But everything improves when a Tian jouster requisitions Vetch to become the first serf ever to be a dragon boy. His training is intense, and his duty clear-cut: to tend his jouster, Ari, and his dragon, Kashet. That is only the beginning.The rest of the books are about how he gets a dragon of his own,his escape to Alta,how the war between the two kingdoms is stopped etc.

rother Odd by Dean Koontz is the third book in his Odd Thomas series. Poor Odd has been through so much in the last couple of years. He lost Stormy, the love of his life, he's given up his job and his home to move into seclusion at a California mountainside monastery in hopes that his "gift" for seeing the dead won't be an issue up there. Instead he finds a poltergeist monk and evil spirits gathering around the young disabled children the monks (and nuns) care for. Odd knows that trouble is coming, and as usual he's the only one to recognize it.Can Odd mitigate the coming cataclysm? Of course he can, despite the arrival of murderous bone creatures and grim Death itself, for the monks include quite a contingent of reformed martial sinners, most memorably Brother Knuckles, formerly of the New Jersey Mob, and another guest, a mysterious Russian librarian from Indianapolis, who is more and different than Odd thinks he is.

Answer 5

Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. I don't know just how many times I have read the book. It is funny and the writer has such an imagination. His nonesense verse, his characters, the turn of events and even the language he uses are excellent. I think its a book every child should read.
