Favoriteist book of all time?

[Airencracken]

Catcher in the rye - J.D. Salinger. Hands down. F'ing love that book.

[Nija]

When I was younger I read 'The Stand' by Stephen King about 7 times. :shrug:

[Jeffbx]

'Swan Song' by Robert McCammon. If you liked The Stand, you'll like this one. Same premise, different execution of the story.

[Kevster]

Earnest Hemingway's, "In our Time", a collection of short stories by him and published in 1925. One story in that book pretty much defined how I am as an outdoorsman today.

[Thesifer]

"Ender's Game" By Orson Scott Card

[Agent Plissken]

I enjoyed King Rat.
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is my favorite comedic book (although I enjoyed the original radio broadcast more...)

[thresher]

Carl Hiaasen - Stormy Weather

[Merlin]

Sun Tzu - The Art of War. No matter how many times I read it I get new insights in dealing with people and situations.

[cadetevon]

'Swan Song' by Robert McCammon. If you liked The Stand, you'll like this one. Same premise, different execution of the story.

Oh! I love me some Rober McCammon. "Blue World" is probably my favorite by him. It's a collection of 13(?) short stories, the best, in my not-so-humble opinion was "Yellowjacket Summer."

Scary.

[RoniMan]

7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey. Definitely gave me a different outlook on my life.

[surfer]

The Watchmen by Alan Moore. "If you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."

[InfiniteNothing]

Milton's Paradise Lost. Kinda the only thing I can think of. I was defined more by my music than by my literature. I'm also a fan of The Great Gatsby and Emma :shifty:

[Grimm]

The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli. Definitely gave me a much better outlook on life.

[Freelance Superhero]

"Steppenwolf" by Hermann Hesse.

[shaggyucla]

"Ender's Game" By Orson Scott Card
:stupid:

[PrObLy]

Catcher in the rye - J.D. Salinger. Hands down. F'ing love that book.
:stupid:

I also like The Physics of Baseball by Robert K. Adair.

[ialsohaveadream]

Guns, Germs, and Steel for nonfiction.
Fiction is tougher, but I'd probably go with Lord of the Rings. F**kin' hobbits, man. F**kin' hobbits. :)

[RIVERWIDOW]

Carnal Innocence by Nora Roberts. Pure escapism plus lots of sex! :angel:

[chrissy]

Oh! The places you'll go!

Dr. Suess

[ShawnLee]

Does anyone expect me to say anything other than the Bible? Other than that? There's so much I want to say. Wow... there really are so many good ones, I'm going to leave this blank. I'd like to say that I'll get back to it, but odds are that I'll just forget anyways.
... I'd probably go with Lord of the Rings. F**kin' gay hobbits, man. F**kin' gay hobbits. :) :hmm:

[Markel]

I agree. And I patently refuse to use the "I'm with stupid" smiley on this one! :hihi:

[doolittle]

Phillip K Dick is probibly one of the greatest sci-fi authors of the 19th century. They are still making movies based on his short storys and novels.

[oblongmelon]

I agree. And I patently refuse to use the "I'm with stupid" smiley on this one! :hihi:

Right now I"m reading "The Church That forgot Christ"..by Jimmy Breslin..
Shawnlee have you ever read this? You should if you haven't..it's an eye opener!

Shawnlee have you ever read this? You should if you haven't..it's an eye opener!I've read reviews of it, but I have to say. I'm not Catholic, so it's not like I'm going to be a Protestant twice-over anyways, so...

[Gothic Girl]

Harry Potter

[brainsmile]

Well the book I must read every night before bed is "10 apples up on top". Not my choice but I'm outvoted every time.

It doesn't matter that you're not Catholic. You should read it..it's a WOW kind of a book.

Wolverine #1

[thresher]

Hey RAY, I own Wolverine #1-12. I bought them new in the sack, I figured they might be the baseball cards of my generation. Was I right? I still have them in my parents' house.

[Gothic Girl]

When I was a kid, my favorite book was "I want to go home" by Gordon Korman. It was absolutely hilarious. Anyone ever read it?

[cheapie]

either the stand or a walk in the woods by bill bryson
