Strangely enough, it was a book my grandfather used to read to me as a kid. Jules Verne - Journey to the Center of the Earth.
That was the first book that painted a picture in my mind so vividly that I keep a copy close by to read at least once a year.
The Stand by Stephan King. I think I secretly wanted Captain Trips to happen some day.
The Time Traveler's Wife-Audrey Niffenegger
Dictionary with synonyms and I like it Big!
Second it a language translator, es muy importante, alle sprog er smukke!
i have re-read The Hobbit multiple times since my first trip with Bilbo in junior high....
Not much of a reader i must admit, although I did enjoy Harry Potter, and I've read Slash's Autobiography which is pretty epic. I found reading Lord of the rings really annoying, and got fed up with it pretty quickly.
That is a tughie. I don't know which I have read more often, John Dos Passos' U.S.A., or Robert A Heinlein's Time Enough For Love, or .
"There's only three tempos: slow, medium and fast. When you get between in the cracks, ain't nuthin' happenin'." Ben Webster
I have 3: The diary of Anne Frank
Night- Elie Wiesel
Desperation- Stephen King
I read a lot. I have to agree with Chefkathleen...I loved The Stand by Stephen King. I had to do a book report on it. I had a choice of that book and Lord of the Flies...I read them both...Liked The Stand better...
MacBeth is my favorite classic...
I loved The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlam, I got hooked onto all of his books... I don't really have a present favorite
If I had to pick one it would be. Islands in the Stream By Ernest Hemingway.
The count of monte christo...hands down..
Pet Sematary by Stephen King. Currently reading it and getting to "that bit that forces you to put it down and not pick it up for another few weeks". People in the know, will know, you know.
Wuthering Heights - purely because I read it so often, my copy is battered and bruised from the places its been.
An impossible question for a literature teacher to answer...it's like asking me to choose between friends. However, I will say that my favorite book to teach is Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird". No matter the age of the students, everyone can get something out of it.
As a stand-alone book, I would probably say Markus Zusak's The Book Thief.
However, once I start reading a Harry Potter book, I can't put it down, and Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials series was fantastic. I've also recently become an Austen fan, with Emma being my favourite thus far.
J.R. Ward Brotherhood series. Loved the whole series.
Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes.
the count of monte cristo by alexander dumas
Lord of the Rings. I just love going to other worlds and this to me is the original and best.
This is my ex not me.
Bf and I share account
I'm now reading The Dirt by Motley Crue for the 4th time and just finished Women by Chuck Bukowski for the 2nd time, to books I really enjoy. But I also liked reading The Hobbit, more so than the Lord of the Rings trilogy, even though I enjoyed them too.
Wow that is a hard one....I read so much that I have to keep a list...and I am not one to pick favorites...however, there are two books that I find myself reading over and over. Moll Flanders and An American Tragedy.
