Ever? Er that's a hard call... I tend to fall in love with a book, but then I'll re-read an old favourite and be like "THIS is THE book!!"... until the next book lol.
The best book I've read recently is "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn.

Pride & Prejudice is my all time favorite!

-

@pui: I really didn't like Gone Girl . . . the characters were just not believable to me.
-
@Smurfette: oh I loved that one! The sequel came out on Tuesday!
-
@MrsKoala: I loooove the Blind Assassin. That might be on my list as well.
It's interested to me that so many people say Gatsby- I don't care for Gatsby at all, but Tender is the Night is one of my favorites.
-
@Sweet T: Hmm I think we have the same taste in books
I was wondering about the storyteller, I want to read it but of course it's in hardcover only and I can't spend that much right now.
-
@Leialou: I just started the Hobbit not long ago, I still have to finish that one!
-
@Bao: I got mine at Walmart a few days after it came out for $16. It might even be less in other places. The prices are always higher here.
ETA: just wrote on your wall!
-
OMG. SO HARD.
Pillars of the Earth
The Hobbit
Girl With The Dragon Tattoo -
@Lozza: Oh, yay! Not many people I know have read it so I can never talk about it! I devoured it and cried while reading it. I've only cried while reading two other books, White Fang and Atonement.
-
I seriously went down the responses and realized I love about half the books listed! My top two are Jane Eyre and A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, after that it is a 100 way tie!
I just finished Gatsby and enjoyed it but I feel like I am missing something. I wasn't totally captivated like I am by anything that falls into my favorites category.
-
@Sweet T: that doesn't seem to bad actually! I just saw it at Target for $21 so maybe I just need to research
-
OK, I seriously went and looked at my bookshelf to pick out some favs. My list is super random:
- In the Time of the Butterflies, by Julia Alvarez
- We Were the Mulvaneys, by Joyce Carol Oates
- Songs in Ordinary Time, by Mary McGarry Morris
- Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, by Fannie Flagg (also love her other books, Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man, and Welcome to the World, Baby Girl!)
- The Book Thief, by Markus ZusakThere are just too many!!!
-
@MsLipGloss: I just finished Gone Girl.. everyone says how good it is, but I wsa disappointed
-
@littlek: This is why I am not sure if I should read it. A lot of people have said they hate the ending...
-
@littlek: That's how I felt. I got to the end and thought whaaaa?
-
@IRunForFun: I wouldn't not read it.. but I am not like "awesome book"
@MsLipGloss: Yay, very anti climatic.. -
@MsLipGloss: @IRunForFun: I hated the ending too!
