Bibliophiles discussion

Tell us what is the title and author of your favorite book. You can also add the reason why so we can add the book to our to-read shelf.
If you have more than one you can them too.

I can't pick out a book. Because I love them all.

Hi. I think my favourite book is either The Fault in our Stars by John Green or The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. They're both really sweet. The Fault In our stars is really well known so I'm sure everyone knows all about it. (It's a really sweet love story about kids with cancer.) and The Book Thief is one of this books where you love it so much it's your book and you feel that promoting it is betrayal. I'm sorry but I'm not going into details on that one.

Interesting suggestions. I am currently reading the book thief and I already saw the movie I liked it.

Have you watched the movie yet??

Ye, I saw the premiere. I loved it. I think they cut out the right parts, I don't think the fact they cut lots out spoiled the film. It was really good.

How the kids act I like. They look like professionals. I was really surprised.

I know, and they also looked so innocent when they were acting, like they were the characters rather than actors playing them.

Yes. Great performance.

Harry Potter Harry Potter Harry Potter! Also anything by because she's amazing. I have a lot of favorites. My current favorite series is the Vampire Academy because it rules my life ^_^.

Harry Potter was epic :)

I'm hoping to read any book from Sarah Dessen, any recommendations?

Thank you for the recommendations :) I'll let u know which book I'll read.

Your welcome! You'll have to let me know what you think :)

My favorite book is me before you by Jojo Moyes. It is such an underrated book and I wish more people would read it!Me Before You

One of my favorite books of all time is The Pillars of the Earth

I have no one favorite book, but several. (I think the same could be said for any bibliophile. Smile.)

Here are 5 favorites of mine ---

1) Burr by the great Gore Vidal



2) A Little Love by C.C. Medina



3) Dona Flor and Her Two Husbands by Jorge Amado



4) Fortress Malta: An Island Under Siege 1940-1943 by James Holland



5) The Cruel Sea by Nicholas Monsarrat

My favorite book isThe Mysteries of Udolpho. I think it's a perfect balance of drama, romance, and suspense, with morality kept in mind. Plus the main character's name is Emily. How can you not love a book whose main character has your name? :)

To Kill a Mockingbird.
But I really enjoyed the Harry Potter books and the Hunger Games books.
Also really loved Dark Places and Gone Girl.

my favorite book is definitely A Constellation of Vital Phenomena by Anthony Marra. Such an ambitious plot and moving prose :--)

I loved To Kill a Mockingbird! That was the only book we had to read in school that, once I was done, I actually picked up and started to read again from the beginning :)

I didn't read it in high school. I read it for the first time when I was 40. I was like that when I was a kid, it was a little like remembering my own childhood. I'm not sure I would have gotten that from it, even if I had read it in high school.

Yes, that's a good one, but my all-time favourite, I think, is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Cantic...

My favorite book would have to be One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, by Ken Kesey. The film adaptation is phenomenal, but the book (as usual) gives the reader so much more insight.

Don't even get me started!

I find I can never answer this question as it really depends on my mood, but I love seeing other people's choices ...looks like I need to add more to the tbr!

Soon I'll read To kill a ... :)

I love a lot of books, but if I had to make a choice and would be the books I'd start with in all likelihood.

Good choices ^_^

hi'z people!

Thanks! I think your choice of Harry Potter was great as well, it's another favorite of mine too. I've heard of Vampire Academy before, I don't know if it would be something that would interest despite the fact that I like to read vampire stories every now and again.

I love Harry Potter, it was a big part of my childhood. I love vampire books but only if there done right. Another good one is The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod which starts with

I love Gone with the Wind! I remember finishing it thinking, "That's it? There must be more!" It was good I just didn't want it to stop :)

Interesting

Not so much a book, but my all time favourite narrative is Jorge Borges' The Circular Ruins and pretty much any of his narratives. But, I also have to admit that I love, for reasons of pure enjoyment and because they are my happy place, any of Cassandra Clare's novels.

Which do you like better TMI or TID? Personally I love Will, Jem, and Tessa!

That's like asking who your favourite child is... ;) I love both series for so many reasons. I love Jem - because he's Jem and because he "steals" Church. But I just love Jace for being so hurt and damaged and the way he grows as a character... Don't make me choose... ok I have to say TMI if I have to pick.

You don't have to pick! You can have them both! Jem is amazing. And so is Will! THE FEELS!

Courtney Lives On wrote: "Moira wrote: "Courtney Lives On wrote: "Moira wrote: "Not so much a book, but my all time favourite narrative is Jorge Borges' The Circular Ruins and pretty much any of his narrative..."

*sighs* I can have them both :)

Not what my friends usually tell me, apparently I can't have both Damon and Stefan from TVD . . . they make me choose ;)

Are you hanging to read The Dark Artifices? Have you read The Bane Chronicles yet? I haven't read them yet, but I really should, I have a very soft spot for Magnus ;)

hey Gina, I've got a book for you.

If your two favorite books are LOTR and Narnia, you absolutely must read Here, There Be Dragons once you read it, you'll understand why.

I can't wait to read dark artifices :P I have not read the bane chronicles yet, I was waiting until I could get them all at once in book form so unfortunately I have to wait until November :( I love Magnus he is too awesome for his own good. Have you read the last book of TMI? I haven't cause I want to reread them all first.

OMG yes, the last TMI is awesome. Everyone seems to make a little cameo appearances in it so it's great. And my comment earlier about Jem "stealing" Church will make sense ;) Sorry assumed you had read it. And yes I want to reread them all again: needing some epicness in my life ;)

I'm all like [author:Cassandra Clare|150038] I need you in my life. I've read 1-4 of TMI but I'm focusing on books I haven't read right now so it's probably going to be some time before I read 5 & 6. I did restart 1 but I haven't finished it yet.

You have to hurry up and reread/read them. I was the same, read the first few and then took forever to reread the first and finish off the series, and now I'm like WTF was I thinking, taking so long ;)
What are you reading at the moment? I just read Maggie Stiefvater's Lament today and about to start Ballad.

Borges is awesome, today in my country someone published an article about him :)

Have a great weekend!

Can you give a spoiler free comment about the book?

Is it a series? trilogy?

Thank you for your recommendation, greetings :)

I'm working on finishing Anna and the french kiss right now but I'm also reading Forever, how do you like Maggie Stiefvater, how many of her books have you read? I've only read Shiver and Linger but I enjoyed both of them except for some parts in Linger. Also do you maybe want to continue this conversation in PM so we're not taking over this thread?
