What's your favorite book?

My all-time favorite is A Tree Grows In Brooklyn, Betty Smith.
Next favorite, Valley of the Dolls, Jacqueline Susann.
Harry Potter series, of course.

Right now, I'm reading The Three Musketeers, and it's wonderful.

Okay, now I must start a thread about your least favorite book!

I don't know if I have a favorite, but I like A Thousand Splendid Suns. It is written by the same author as The Kite Runner. I also enjoyed Memoirs of a Geisha but I haven't read that in almost 10 years.

I adore Audrey Niffenegger's The Time Traveler's Wife. I've read it dozens of times as well as listen to it on audiobook.


I cannot wait to see the movie but part of me is worried the movie just will not do the book justice.

I love Alice Walker, too. I actually read Octavia Butler's Kindred in college and really liked it; thanks for reminding me of her!

Me either! I need to buy them...

My favorite of all time would have to be Beloved (Toni Morrison). But there are a lot of books that I care a lot about.

It is really hard for me to choose just one. I love so many books. I read mostly non fiction;but in fiction I have several favorites.

The Penguin Classics, Norman Denny translation of Les Miserables.

Gone With The Wind

The Secret Life Of Eva Hathaway, by Janice Weber

All of Jacqueline Susann's novels
