Answer 2

Atlas Shrugged

It took me two years to read. It took me that long because half the time I had to stop, put the book down and think about what I just read. I started reading it at 25, good timing in my opinion, because if I'd been assigned to read it at a school it wouldn't of had the same affect on my outlook in life.

It's the most influential book I've ever read, it took the author ten years to write and it's 1,100 pages long.

In the pages is a description of the modern world in which the lie of socialism pursues it's natural course and ruins the world. The last people fighting against them are the few, true industrialists that eventually agree amongst themselves to give up and walk away.

Most importantly some of the concepts in the book helped change my focus about my life, chosen career and other things. Again it was important that I read it when I did, early in my career, shortly after I got out of the University.

If you prefer reason and logic to emotion and feigned spiritualness, then this is an excellent book. Or I'll try to put it this way, if you prefer the world in black and white but are having a hard time sifting through the gray, then this is an excellent book.

Answer 3

Great question, but I read way too much to have one favorite. I'll give you a few.

Dean Koontz would be one of my favorite authors, so i have to put something by him one here. My favorite would have to be strangers, probably because the characters are excellant and the concept is very interesting.

Another answer would have to pay homage to Stephen King. His best would have to be all seven books of the Dark Tower series. I like the way that he puts illusions to his others books in the series and even takes a character from it.

There are so many more, but my mind's drawing a blank for some reason.

Answer 4

I always liked the book Sinners by Jacki Collins. It involved Hollywood stars, and the limo driver was a real spineless pervert who wanked in sandwich bags and swimming pools and whatnot. Some of the characters were real sickos, but I guess that's what made it interesting/ entertaining.

The City of Joy was a true story about a priest who went to live in the slums of Calcutta, India. It was interesting reading, but there are a couple parts about the leper section of the slum that was gross and a bit hard to handle. It enlightened me though. The book supports charitable works in India.

Answer 5

Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean Auel. The social and spiritual world of pre-historic, ice-age europe.

The orphaned hero is found by "clan", neanderthal, non-verbal humans. The hero is like us, embodying a divergence in evolution.

She survives a mauling by a cave lion at 5 and is a mother at 10, cast out for her inability to conform to "clan ways". And is guided by her totem spirit, the Cave Lion.

I've read the series of five books 8 times and am awaiting the next in the story of Ayla. She's my fictional hero.

Answer 10

Favorite Author (Bible) by God
Favorite Author (True Crime) by Ann Rule
Favorite Author (Romance) Jude Devereux

The Bible gives instructions on how to live. Ann Rule shows me that crime doesn't pay, and she tells the family's stories as well. (I like Ann's books and enjoy real forensics.) As for the romance novels, sometimes I just have a need to "get away." And that does it for me.

AS FOR MOST INTERESTING BOOK,
I'd almost have to say "Bridges in Madison County." When it came out, most women believed it was a true story (including me!). The author got all of us caught up in a love story that gave all hopeful romantics a place to believe it could really happen.

How about you?

Answer 11

The Queens Wizard, by John and Patricia Beatty. Its fiction about 2 boys growing up in 17th century England. It ties alot of actual historical facts into the book which is why I love it so much. It not real and it has so much fact in it.
