Goodreads All Sorts discussion

This thread is for discussing Fiction novels and authors. What is your favourite Fiction book? What Fiction authors do you like?

I feel so left out, not t have read To Kill A Mockingbird. Ill have to pick it up.

Yes, I've heard.

I love To Kill a Mockingbird, definitely in my top 5 or 10 books.
Jack you should read it!

Some of my other favourite fiction books are:
The Great Gatsby - F Scott Fitzgerald
The Lovely Bones - Alice Sebold
Brideshead Revisited - Evelyn Waugh
The Princess Bride - William Goldman
Things Fall Apart - Chinua Achebe

Kyle, apart from Dickens I don't think I know any of those authors!

All great books, Pink.

I have too many loves to name one favourite, but I will say one that caught me by surprise was how much I loved East of Eden by John Steinbeck. I read it as a "eat your vegetables, read some classics" challenge I set for myself a couple of years ago, and it ended up being one of the best books ever. Lead me straight to The Grapes of Wrath, which I also loved. Who knew!

I second the Princess Bride as a favourite fiction book!

I just read The 100 Year Old Man who Jumped out the Window and Disappeared. That has to be one of my favourite books of all time - so lighthearted and so much fun!

I'm reading that at the moment Caitlin. I'm loving it! It's so imaginative.

I like that the story is so completely unbelievable, but somehow it's so you hardly notice until you stop and think it through

The Lover's Dictionary is another fantastic book with a totally unique style.

The Winds of War & War and Remembrance, by Herman Wouk, 2 Books, to be read consecutively, set in WW 2 era, but like many of you- a difficult choice to make.

"Life of Pi" by Yann Martel is an excellent book.
