At the moment, my favourite book is Airport by Arthur Hailey.
It's about airport and the people who works in it. Their life, their family, the stress, the operational of the airport, the air traffic control, etc. A very interesting novel, very detailed as all other Hailey's works. It's a great book.

"Last Exit to Brooklyn."
It's the closest any American author has got to imitate James Joyce.
One should realise that the deconstruction of grammatical norms is a complete pain-in-the-**** unless the author knows what she/he is destroying.
Joyce did. So did Beckett. So did Shaw and O'Casey. And Synge.
Is there a commonality? BLOODY RIGHT THERE IS. They're all Irish.

"The Pickwick Papers" by Charles Dickens. It is about the adventures of an elderly man and his three friends in the early nineteenth century in England. Tells a lot about society in those days in a funny and sentimental way and has famous characterizations.

Lets see my favorite book is Harry Potter. I love the series! I also like To Kill A Mocking Brid by Harper Lee. I am halfway through it and I started on Friday. I have to read it for AP English. But I like it so far.

"The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It's about greedy people, love, lust, longing and the class struggle in the America of the 1920's. It perfectly encapsulates an era.

"No Exit" by Jean-Paul Sartre is one of my favourites. It's about a guy who goes to hell and discovers that hell is not what people on earth picture it to be, but rather that "hell is in the others". Read it! I bet you'll like it.
