Tender Morsels by Lango Lanagan is a great book! It's filled with symbolism, darkness, light, and survival of emotional entrapments. It's a risque book that I don't suggest for everyone (incestual rape, gang rape, symbolism that appears as *bleep*, but IT ISN'T!, etc.), but for those who like an emotional, deep, thoughtful book, I recommend this!

 mine is called the child called it, its a very hard and tearful story to actually read but its impossiable to put down once you begin reading it, it really shows character and reality to real life situations that occur on a daily basis.

My favorite book is Gone with Wind (my favorite movie too). It is an old book but very touching and appealing to several generations. :wave:

Well I got the Book Gone with the Wind. Yeah a great suggestion. Even though I saw the movie , the book does delve into the Characters more. It is a great read, and good to learn a little more about history from the south back during those times. I am half way through it and can almost not put it down.

The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien.  I must've read it at least 100 times by now and don't plan to stop re-reading.
Title: Re: Favorite Book
Post by: Garydh on April 07, 2012, 02:54:42 pm
The next book I am going to read is "The Help", I saw the movie and that was good. I like books like that as you also learn about history at the same time. Finishing up Gone with the Wind, and have learned alot about the south during that time period too.  Happy Easter FussionCash members.

I really need to diversify my reading. When I was younger, it was mostly Goosebumps, then for a while I only read when I needed to for school. I've recently resumed reading for pleasure, and have flipped quite a few of Stephen King's novels, which are good, but few I would call favorites. House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski is the only one worth of that title so far.

At this moment my favorite book is Fire your doctor by Andrew Saul because I love all the natural way to keep healthy. This book exactly meets my needs:
If you have never tried being a vegetarian, start.
If you’ve never juiced vegetables, start.
If you’ve never taken vitamin C to saturation, start.
If you’ve never taken a course in how to meditate or otherwise reduce stress, start.
If you’ve never given up alcohol or smoking, do it now.
If you have never used an interlibrary loan to get a valuable health book, start.

This is probably the most explicit example of belaboring the obvious and being a non sequitur that has been seen thusfar today.

I usually am not a fiction book reader.  I mostly like reading factual, non fiction books, ut my 2 favorite books are The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough and The Coldest Winter Ever by Sister Souljah.  Both books I started reading just to pass some time, or because I was bored.  I found both books to be so captivating that I could not put them down until I had finished the stories.

The Boy Called It. This is a true story about a boy and the abuse he suffered from the hands of  his mom. Very good book short and an easy read but very sad.

While most people frown upon comics, there are comics of literary merit.  I'd suggest Maus, A Contract With God, Persepolis, American Splendor, American Born Chinese, Pride of Baghdad, and Sandman.   


I'd have to say The Brothers Karamazov is my favorite book.

Roll of thunder Hear my cry by Mildred D. Taylor....I was sent this book from my sister back when the book was first published in 1976 and I still have the book. The pages are brown and old but you can still read it. I have since put it in a case as to try to preserve it somewhat.

Yes great book and great movie as well. My favorite book was "The Spy Who Came In From The Cold", by John Le Carre. It was made into a movie and Richard Burton played in the movie. And other books by the same author appeared on PBS.

"The Spy Who Came In From The Cold", is my favorite fictional book.
My favorite non-fiction book is by Richard Nelson Bolles, "What Color Is Your Parachute? A Practical Manual for Job-Hunters and Career-Changers".

 He also wrote, "The Three Boxes of Life, And How to Get Out of Them", "How to Find Your Mission in Life", "Job Hunting on the Internet" and "Job-Hunting for the So-Called Handicapped". All great reads with lots of reference to other helpful books and to websites. Gave a copy to my niece a Duke and Rider college graduate, to help her students.
