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.

Kyle ~Special K: Rebel Leader~ wrote: "To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee is my favorite fiction novel. It won the Pulitzer Prize for writing. It's an outstanding novel of prejudice, learning to over come it, the importance of family, ..."

We have a lot of favorite authors in common. I know Stephen King is mostly known for writing horror, but he's about so much more. He can write just about anything IMHO.

Oh jack, you just simply cannot leave this earth without reading Harper Lee's brilliant novel.

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.
