What's your favorite book?

[BrianH1]

I have to teach and create a lesson plan on a novel in my senior seminar class. It can be any genre (even way out science fiction) and I was just wondering what everyone's favorite book they have ever read was. Please only put down one or two, since I know its hard to come up with just ONE favorite.

I'll start:
1. As I Lay Dying -William Faulkner
2. Jurassic Park - Michael Crichton.

 

[Schadenfroh]

The Fellowship of the Ring

That would be really hard to do, as there is no story.

"Survivor" by Chuck Palahniuk, maybe. Or perhaps "Snow Falling on Cedars" or "In the Lake of the Woods."

I couldn't stand that book, i tried to read it this summer and it was just awful...I think it's because i don't agree with anything the author believed in. It seemed like every character was either an unfeeling prick or a whining sap. grrr makes me angry just thinking about it.

Great book, I wish the movie was as good.

the hobbit
loved it since i was a kid, its lighter than the lord of the rings but still, to me anyways, a great read.

1984 is another favorite

 

[LeiZaK]

The Dark Tower series from Stephen King...

If I had to pick one, I guess the first one, "The Gunslinger" since they obviously build from one another

[DaShen]
