What is your favorite book and why?

Answer 1

To paraphrase Gerard Way, choosing your favourite book is as hard as choosing your favourite band.

But if I'd have to pick, I'd say "The Constant Gardner" by John LeCarre, because the plotline is v. interesting and the narrative structure is incredible. Reading this book, you realize you're the work of a genius. Plus the characters are so memorable.

I also love "The House of the Spirits" by Isabell Allende, "How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents" by Julia Alverez and "The Joy Luck Club" by Amy Tan. All three deal with some interesting multi-cultural issues that I think are really important in this day and age. :)

Answer 2

It's a toss-up between four books, and all for the same reasons. The authors have an interesting and individual writing style. They create situations I find interesting and characters I am drawn to. They don't treat me like an idiot, but assume I have enough intelligence to understand what they mean.

The books are -
The Perilous Gard (Elizabeth Marie Pope)
Deep Secret
Howl's Moving Castle (both by Diana Wynne Jones)
The Changeover (Margaret Mahy)

They're all fantasies, but follow no fantasy "type". The Perilous Gard is set in Tudor England, Deep Secret in Bristol, England, and also in a different world, and Howl's Moving Castle is set in Ingary, and breifly in Wales. The Changeover is set in New Zealand.

The main characters, Kate Sutton, Christopher Heron, Maree Mallory, Rupert Venables, Howell Jenkins, Sophie Hatter, Laura Chant and Sorenson Carlisle all have virtues and faults that make them seem real.

Answer 3

I have two and I can never pick between them I read both when I was twelve. Gone With the Wind because it does not end happily ever after as most books do. Little Women the title says it all how could you not love Meg, Joe, Beth, Amy, and their struggle to become women. Both books have been around so long because they are unforgettable.

Answer 4

Les Miserables - Victor Hugo - A book to ponder

Beautiful written with huge themes of justice, taking a stand, the worth of the common man, and that the law may not always be just.

Full developed colorful characters throughtout - not just a few main ones. My heart goes out to fantine, eponine, and jean val jean.

Answer 5

At present it is 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.

Answer 6

Well, one of my favorites is Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry because it's a 'true to life' epic tale of the American West: Unforgettable characters with good guys and bad guys, cowboys and indians, and women, women, women.

Answer 7

i'm a die complicated technological awareness Fiction and fantasy Fan The e book that every person started this style replaced into "The Hobbit", the precursor to the "Lord of the rings" trilogy by skill of JRR Tolkien. i could say that "commencing place" by skill of Issac Assimov is up there as favourite Sci-Fi novel. I study for amusement and rest, so after hard maximum Sci-Fi, I now study particularly some Westerns. In that type you won't be able to conquer "The Sacketts" or the rest by skill of Louis Lamour. yet as quickly as I had to %. one e book as my favourite it may be "The employer" by skill of John Grisham.
