Favorite book

My favorite book i Beauty by robin mckinley because it makes me wish that i were in a more simpler era. Also i like stories like these that have things to do with enchantments.

I have many favorite books but Catcher in The Rye really hit home with me when I was a kid, haven't read it in years but I'm sure I'd still relate.

My screenname comes from a book called "Waking the Moon" by Elizabeth Hand.. it's a little strange, but it's good, and there's a great Prince related scene in it. redface
In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular.

i've read 'naked lunch' and 'the color purple' probably more than any other book, though i don't feel that i've met the book yet that i'd call my "favorite of all time", the way i have albums or movies that i feel that i know from beginning to end.

my favorite book without a question is Skinny Legs and All by Tom Robbins.

It opened me up to so many new ideas and exposed me to a totally new style of writing that really influenced my tastes down the road. I think I've read this book at least 10 times now. I just adore it.

I wish I could offer you a profound title, just to look cool, but mine is Thea Beckman's Kruistocht In Spijkerbroek. Stilllove that book so much.

But that is a kid's book I love from when I was still a kid myself. I haven't read anything in a while that made me go; eek

Thank you. As another lover of fantasy, I can recommend Elizabeth Haydon's Rhapsody, the first in a series of three books. I myself am in the middle of the second book.
It is not literature, but a fine read.
