Favorite Book?

[mikebutt]

I would have to go with 1984. Very chilling. Read Life of Pi not too long ago and liked that one a lot too.

[mg_forlife]

1984 is one of my favourites, along with The Giver. If I had to pick a favourite, it would be the latter.

 

I'm reading Life of Pi now, I found it kind of boring until about half way through. At this point he is going insane. ^^

Breakfast of Champions by: Kurt Vonnegut.

 

Most brilliant book ever written.

[Dan #2]

Kurt Vonnegut is amazing, but for me, DBC Pierre's "Vernon God Little" is the best thing i've ever set my eyes upon.

[pennies]

i swear before i read the mention to Kurt i was thinking Slaughter House Five. definately one of them, there are really too many for me i'm not one for a single favourite.

[sockcrotch]

at last there is nothing left to say

 

and it's not just because i'm a matt good fan like everyone else here (granted, i never would've known about the book were it not for vbeing a fan). It's because it's just a great book, serving my tastes perfectly

 

another runner up book would be slaughterhouse-5

[aloha_joe]

I'd have to go with High Fidelity, but thats just me

[mikebutt]

Everytime the topic the literature comes up anywhere, people mention Kurt Vonnegut. Haven't read a lot though. Read God Bless You Dr. Kevorkian a couple of weeks ago. It was pretty cool. I'm reading slaugterhouse five right now and I like it a lot so far.

[cavalier_eternal]

breakfast of champions is pretty friggin' crazy. slaughterhouse is really quite convoluted... but that's vonnegut, for ya.

 

my favourite? i'm not sure, really. i like a lot of different stuff.

 

edit: i liked aldous huxley's brave new world more than 1984.

Blasphemy

Thomas The Tank Engine

[Gob]

The Book of Mormon is a good read for anyone who is into the genre.

Ditto that one.

[little miss sunshine]

I have always meant to re-read A Separate Peace. We read it in grade 10 and I remember I really liked it. Also enjoyed Catcher in the Rye.

 

Not too much time for reading lately.

[dirtyunderwear]

"the perks of being a wallflower" by stephen chbosky. soooo good.

[pennies]

i liked that too. has he come out with anything else? because i remember that being his first novel.

 

i also enjoyed the Catcher in the Rye i had a phase where i wanted to read classics, even though that's up for debate but whatever an american classic if you will. i think you either love it or hate it because a lot of people think it was trying too hard. it was sorta the rest book i read in that direction.

[Rebabaluba]

The Bible by God! Scary read on dark nights!

[X-Rated Truffle Pig]

right now its Slaughter House 5

 

used to be The Notebook and Donnie Brasco

[Ravenous megin-sane]

and i dont want to live this life - deborah spungen

(biography of nancy spungen)

and i'm gonna say it...

at last theres nothing left to say - matthew good

[Dan #3]

The Bible by God! Scary read on dark nights!

You mean The Bible by Men Pretending To Know God's Will? Then yes, yes it is scary.

 

My favourite book at the moment is The Stand by Stephen King. I'm a sucker for his books, even if they are rather formulaic.

[dirtyunderwear]

i liked that too. has he come out with anything else? because i remember that being his first novel.

i don't think he's come out with anything else, no. i wish he did though.

[no yu begin wher i end]

There's a few books that I like a lot out there, so I don't exactly have a set favourite.

 

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - Hunter S. Thompson

 

Satan: His Psychotherapy and Cure by the Unfortunate Dr. Kassler, JSPS - Jeremy Levin

 

Slaughterhouse Five - Kurt Vonnegut

 

The Plague - Albert Camus

[Rebabaluba]

My fav book (besides the Bilbe!) has to be.....Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss! Shit I never knew anyone could be so annoying when it came to eating food!

[pennies]

I just read this book called "Looking for Alaska" i mean i found it in the teen fiction section but it was great. and they mentioned some books i want to read like the general in his labyrinth, i tried to find it today. might be a new favourite for me.

 

i go to seek a Great Perhaps.
