Default What Is Your Favorite Book

Well, the title is pretty straightforward with what this thread was started for. So...send your opinion on what you believe to be the greatest literary work.

P.S. Myself?...I really can't say. Hard for me to choose.

Favorite book would have to be: The Milagro Beanfield War by John Nichols. It's funny and so entertaining I couldn't get enough of it.

My favorite book would have to be Pulse by Edna Buchanan. Think that's how you spell her name. Anyway it's really good kinda like a murder, suicide, whodunit book. Really good. Definitely two thumbs up!

There are three books that i've come to know and love recently. One, Videogame Art by Nic Kelman; his views and overall opinion about the question "What defines art?" is respectable and noteworthy. Two, Sun Tzu's The Art of War; part of the cherished Ten Militray Classics, some of which are still studied and referenced by the military, is true to its roots, realistic insights abiut battle and strategy, any general wannebe must read this book. And lastly, Johnny The Homicidal Maniac: The Directors Cut by Jhonen Vasquez, beloved creator and artist of Invader Zim. Though not really a novel per-say, it is mesmerizing and a mental-stimulator. All of us have a monster inside, and Jhonen remarkably releases his in this page-by-page depiction of a lost, confused soul named Johnny C., or as he prefers Nny. Read these wonderful works and you'll captured for more. Laters....

When you've read a good number of books, there are usually more than one favorite. But I'll pick just one...

The Andromeda Strain - Michael Crichton

It's a very cool book if you really get into it. it's about a murder that happened in the museum of Louvre in Paris. The victim that was murdered left some clues and with the clues you have to find who the murdered is, but it's much more complicated then this you know. Later you will find out that why the victim was killed. And also you will get to study davinci's last supper drawing and you will find out that jezus is actually married to maria and that he had kids and that the last supper is actually the the wedding aniversary of jezus and maria. This is just a summary of the story. If you read the whole story , it's much more complicated then this. In beginning it's a bit boring but it gets very exciting at the end. I recommend you to read it, it's very cool.

The book I am rerading currently is,

Frankenstien by Mary Shelly I am about 80 pages into in And it is really good. The book was written back in the 1800s so the grammer is quite old, so ita a little harder to understand but is very good.
