Just put your favorite book, why you like that book, favorite character, etc. I'm looking forward to see what you reply!

My favorite book is the Giver, but I also like 1984 and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Rich Dad Poor Dad

quite a good read when you have nothing else to do.

Wrong forum. This should be in the Arts and Fiction forum.

oh, sorry. I just thought that in Forum 7 you could put any topic that you wanted. My bad!

Probably Crying of Lot 49 right now.

Those last two would be my personal favourites, alongside Dracula.

Nice!

House of Leaves

The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

I love the Great Gatsby!

Right now I'll say A Little Princess, though I'm a fan of Frances Hodgson Burnett generally.

Nice touch with coloring house. I haven't read the book, though I'm familiar and have heard good (though horrifying) things.

The Pickwick Papers. Just for how unique and fun it is.

Dispatches by Michael Herr is one of the best books I've ever read.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispatches_(book)
It is based on the author's experiences as a journalist in the Vietnam War. He also worked on the screenplays for Apocalypse Now and Full Metal Jacket.

I enjoyed Stephen King's "The Stand" a lot. Really thick one, depending on your native language it can go up to over 1700 pages, but I personally found it awesome. It's also one of his more "creative" works (I'm lacking a better expression here); the reason why I'm not the biggest King fan is his extremely clichéd and oftentimes unnecessarily absurd representation of the supernatural, focusing on being controversial rather than atmospheric.

I really love the Song of Ice and Fire series
Also, it's Lolita by Nabokov, then Abercromby, Sapkovsky and his witcher

Mosquitoland by David Arnold

Autobiography of Philippe Rothschild, so far.

I don`t really have one book that i would say is my favorite, i have several books that i would say are my favorites. its to hard to just pick one.

I like a lot of books, but I'll list off my all time favorites:
Starship Troopers
The Forever War
On Basilisk Station
1632
Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy
The X-wing novels
2001: A Space Odyssey

Nice

Impossible to choose one, but the few that really stand out for me are:
The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter - Carson McCullers
The Trial - Franz Kafka
Great Expectations - Charles Dickens
Invisible Man - Ralph Ellison
No Country for Old Men - Cormac McCarthy
Breakfast of Champions - Kurt Vonnegut
A Murder Is Announced - Agatha Christie

I love House of Leaves too! Definitely the most unique book I've ever read, and also the only that's kept me up at night...

I will give a vote for Dracula as well (although it was long ago and my perspective might have changed).

And - while we are there - Carmilla, too

I'm currently reading Dracula. It's pretty good. A little hard to get used to the POV changes but otherwise I've liked it.
