What is your favorite book and why?


Mine would have to be HP or PJ. I like them because they get to escape from the ordinary life. They go on adventures.

Mine is game of Thrones by George R.R Martin. because it has almost everything in it. Kingdom, Romance, Thriller, Horror, drama, Fantasy. And it doesnt have a story like Good fights agains the evil and wins in the final battle. There is no heroes or Villains and each character acts upon their own intrsts which brings conflicts with other characters. If you you haven't read it, its a must read book.

I cant pick one..
Because there are many.. but, The Kite Runner and A thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini, Kane and Abel and A False Impression by Jeffery Archer, Master of GAme by Sidney Sheldon and ofcourse Harry Potter!!

The Time Of Our Singing by Richard Powers, a masterly novel dealing with love, family, race, science and music. Unforgettable.

I have to say Horton Hears a Who! I love LOVE that book! Its so simple yet so elegant it touches my heart every time I see it.

I really enjoyed
The Help
I seen the film on Netflix and was so impressed I got the book.

Twenty-two-year-old Skeeter has just returned home after graduating from Ole Miss. She may have a degree, but it is 1962, Mississippi, and her mother will not be happy till Skeeter has a ring on her finger. Skeeter would normally find solace with her beloved maid Constantine, the woman who raised her, but Constantine has disappeared and no one will tell Skeeter where she has gone.

Aibileen is a black maid, a wise, regal woman raising her seventeenth white child. Something has shifted inside her after the loss of her own son, who died while his bosses looked the other way. She is devoted to the little girl she looks after, though she knows both their hearts may be broken.

Minny, Aibileen's best friend, is short, fat, and perhaps the sassiest woman in Mississippi. She can cook like nobody's business, but she can't mind her tongue, so she's lost yet another job. Minny finally finds a position working for someone too new to town to know her reputation. But her new boss has secrets of her own.

Seemingly as different from one another as can be, these women will nonetheless come together for a clandestine project that will put them all at risk. And why? Because they are suffocating within the lines that define their town and their times. And sometimes lines are made to be crossed.

In pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes a town, and the way women - mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends - view one another. A deeply moving novel filled with poignancy, humor, and hope, The Help is a timeless and universal story about the lines we abide by, and the ones we don't.

The way the black maids were treated was horrible.
They wouldn't let them use their bathrooms but they ate the food they prepared.
The maids got their revenge in the book.I LOVED THAT.

Lol!that reminds me.i love all Dr.Seuss books but I love "Green eggs and ham"!

Um until now my best books are partial by Dan Wells and A bend in the road by Nicholas spark .
I really want to read Game of thrones

I really like Among the Hidden by Margret Peterson Haddix. I don't know why I like it so much though. I mean, I don't know if any of you can relate, but for me, it's one of those books that anyone can read, but no matter who I show it to nobody seems to like it as much as I do.
I'm also a huge fan of Naruto (I don't know if we're counting manga, but I thought I'd name it anyway) and the Harry Potter books. :)

You know Green Eggs was written on a bet?! Someone bet Dr. Seuss he couldn't write a great book using 50 words or less... guess who won :)

Dr. Seuss: )

Yay!
Anyone heard of a Drabble?
It's a story of 100 words,no more ,no less.I wrote my first Drabble on another group.I'll put it in my writing folder.

Cool: )

I've made a Drabble thread and put my Drabble and the explanation of one.

that's interesting. Why no less?

Apparantely it has to be exactly 100 words.

Maybe for the thread can we make an exception as long as it's close?

Yes.Of course we can.We'll have our own rules.It'll be fun.
If you look on the drabble thread mines on there as an example.No theme to stick to just what you want.
