The truth is that I don't have a FAVORITE book. I really like many but there isn't one that is my all time favorite. Is that a sufficient response for a Lit class? Or should I just pick on e of the ones I like and write about it?

Since you have so many fav books, just pick one of your many favourites that you can write about really easily.

Just pick one of your favorites. Do explain that this is just one of your many favorites and that it was very difficult for you to choose. You could also write about common themes or ideas in the books you like as an alternative idea. Write about what ties your favorite books together and how they are similar. That way you are still writing about all of the texts you like in a creative way. If you only say that you have too many favorites to choose one your teacher will more than likely think that you are just trying to get out of doing the assignment.

If you honestly say you don't have a favorite book, your instructor will understand that to be a refusal of the assignment.
Why not choose a book from among your favorites, and in your explanation of why you chose it, honestly point out that you have no one favorite book. You could then make text-to-text comparisons with other favorites.
As a literature instructor, I would be impressed not only by your honesty, but by your wide literacy.

If your instructor is asking for a paper, you have to write one. You can just say "one of my favorite books is" and write about it. That's honest. And if, on your list of favorites, one of them is more wordy and well-thought of than another, write about that. (for example, if you like both "Don Quixote" and "The Little Red Hen," write about Don Quixote. (I personally think you'd be a bit dull if you just had one favorite book--it's like you read one book, that's enough, on to the next activity.) Also: your teacher may want to make a class discussion about the activity: write about a book you don't mind discussing in class.

You are dealing with a Lit Teacher. Select the Bible and scribble down some blurb about it being THE good book and standing the test of time. You can select some passage and write about it.
Teachers will always eat that up...
Good luck,

You can certainly explain it was difficult to pick just one, but do pick one and say that it's one of your many favorites.
