Books? Men I have a lot of favorites but let's start with; The Testament, The Client, The Rainmaker, The King of Torts and Pelican Brief all by John Grisham. I also love Davinci Code and Angels and demons by Dan Brown. I love books written by this two authors because they make me think and question a lot of things Cc Mrsphyno |

BUTCHCASSIDY:'Always allow your friends to underestimate your value and your enemies to overestimate your faults'.There is one other quote from the godfather I like though I think it's from the sequels...'Do not write if you can speak,do not speak if you can nod, and do not nod unless you have to'. |

Silumi: I never really liked the Redemption Series. Too...cliche. I read Echo in the Darkness and LOVED it. I re-read it like u'd play a favorite song on repeat. You shud read that. I've been meaning to read the prequel and sequel, but as per loving osho free books and not being the kind of books i'd spend my money on to buy, its on hold for now. |

Re: Tell Us About Your Favourite Book by 0gbeni(m): 9:17am On May 08, 2016 |
mine is The Great Gatsby by F Scott Fitzgerald.. i first read it when i was 15 and i make sure to read it once every year for folks averse to reading, the movie is quite good, one of the best movie adaptations I've seen favourite quote? its "Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter--tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther...." |
Re: Tell Us About Your Favourite Book by Pedrogold(m): 9:25am On May 08, 2016 |
Ahhhh lemme think...so many of them but to talk of "The mayor of casterbridge" that's the best I've read of recent (some days ago) . It's about a man who got drunk and sold his wife and daughter to a sailor for four pounds, only to regain consciousness the following day. He became rich and was made a mayor thereby making it easy for his lost family to locate him. He would have been successful if not for pride, anger and Jealousy that tormented the good out of his life thereby making him loose everything he had including his family. |

ANIMORPHS definitely my favoritebook of all time b4 harrypotter Then most of john grishams books u can think of my favorite beign A PAINTED HOUSE & THE RAINMAKER & SKIPPIN CHRISTMAS. LIONS GAME BY NELSON DEMILLE. THE BOURNE ; ULTIMATUM, CONSPIRACY which he co-wrote ICARUS AGENDA BY ROBERT LUDLUM DAVINCI CODE, ANGELS AND DEMONS, INFERNO,THE SYMBOL BY DANBROWN. THE SEVEN BOOKS OF HARRYPOTTER BY "YOU KNOW WHO" (MISS J.K) A few of the NARNIA CHRONICLES BY CS LEWIS THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy by J.R TOLKIEN LLOYD ALEXANDER'S IRON RING,MARVELOUS MISADVENTURES OF SEBASTAIN AND THE TIME CAT The books where written by geniuses who crafted them masterfully and no page of these books will ever bore you am sure. My favorite of all ANIMORPHS BY KA APPLEGATE. #53 books each book not exceeding 175 pages i think and up to ten prequels and sequels. Very interesting novels about 5 teenagers and an alien and they had an ability to morph or turn into any animals given to them by an alien to fight an alien invasion. |

Recently fell in love with Robert Thier,The Robber knight trilogy, Storm and silence series And lots more |
Re: Tell Us About Your Favourite Book by mayor007(m): 9:50am On May 08, 2016 |
I don't have a favourite book but I do have books I can recommend. 1. Anna Karenina - Leo Tolstoy 2. Crime And Punishment - Fyodor Dostoyevsky 3. All The Lights We Cannot See - Anthony Doerr 4. The Nightingale - Kristen Hannah 5. Disaster Capitalism - Naomi Klein 6. A Thousand Splendid Suns - Khalid Housseini 7. I Am Malala - Yousafzai Malala 8. The Alchemist - Paolo Coelho 9. 1984 - George Orwell 10. House Rules - Jodi Picoult It is not fair to tell people to single out a book. I just had to narrow it down to ten which is still too small. So many dope books across different genres by a lot of authors. |
