Your Favorite Book(s)

[Muffincat]

Not enough literature love here on GF, so here we go <3

What are your favorite books (if you read >_>)?

My favorite book as a child was Watership Down by Richard Adams, and I still have my copy which is so terribly worn because I read it like a thousand times. Currently:

Hard-Boiled Wonderland at the End of the World/The Wind Up Bird Chronicle/A Wild Sheep Chase by Haruki Murakami.
American Gods by Neil Gaiman <3.
Les Miserables by Victor Hugo.
The Neverending Story by Michael Ende.
The Tin Drum by Günter Grass.
The Hunger Games Trilogy (even though the third one isn't out yet) by Suzanne Collins (DON'T JUDGE ME >:|)
Vurt by Jeff Noon.
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood.
Orlando Furioso by Ludovico Ariosto.
The Book of Salt by Monique Truong.
World Ball Notebook by Sesshu Foster.
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy.
Dead Girls by Richard Calder.

There are a bunch more...... but I will stop at that. I read a lot. I have several boxes everywhere full of books that I need to sort.... anyway I am sure someone will post things in here that will also spark my memory. Yayyy :)

Murakami and Gaiman are probably my favorite authors at this point in time. (Except for William Carlos Williams, who is my favorite poet <3 And then Richard Brautigan :3)

So. Go!

I've never been much of a reader.

I was forced to read Holes in 6th grade, that was good. I was also forced to read a book about a kid who was flying up to like canada or something and the plane crashed. The pilot died and he was on his own for a really long time, anyone familiar with that

On my own Generation Kill and A Passing Season is about as far as my literature extend lmao. Generation Kill is ultra win, one day I wish to read books from the other guys in that platoon. A Passing Season is alright, I seen it laying around my uncles room. It's basically about my town but with my names changed and the such.

The night angel trilogy by Brent Weeks. I think i've read the first one like 10 times.... It doesn't matter how many times I read it, it still captivates me and puts me on edge.
Inkheart was one of my favourite books for a while.
I quite like most of Terry Pratchets books. The first two in the diskworld series are probably my favourites.
And the series of books where the first one is called "wi'ch fire" or something like that. And there's another series but i forgotten the name of the author and the books... /facepalm

The Lost Symbol is great book too. You should check it out.

I am behind on my reading, thanks to the inordinate amount of homework I have been doing the past few weeks. I aim to bang out Angels and Demons soon, then I am definitely moving on to The Lost Symbol. I am interested in the Illuminati.

Ya'll remember the hardy boys?

All of Kurt Vonnegut's works. Except for "Slapstick," even he admitted that it was awful.
I'm gonna get a sleeve dedicated to him and his literature. Most of it changed my life. :]
