What is everyones favourite book?

I love reading but was wondering what books everyone likes to read. What type of book do people like reading? Do people prefer romance or comedy? Love Emma xxx

Hiya!!!
hmm fave book. I love Lord of the rings but not enough to read it again in a hurry lol. I like the Terry Pratchett Bromeliad trilogy and ooh i really love The Secret Sacrament by Sheryl Jordan. Tis ace! I prefer comedy i think but it has be good or else it just doesn't work. Usually, however its some kinda mystery actionish thingy cos they're interesting.

lol sorry i know i said a few there.
Wot bout u?

Best book I've read would be 1984 (George Orwell) or Red Storm Rising (Tom Clancy), for very different reasons.

The Emperor series by Conn Iggulden is a really very well written and absorbing collection.

The Nero Wolfe mysteries are fine examples of how a book should be written.

As for my favourite book? I'm writing it.. I'll let you know when I'm done.

Hi Friends~

I used to read the Enid Blyton books. I would have to disagree with Jeffrey Archer, I think he is a good writer the same for Sidney Sheldon. I have not really got any favourite characters not that I can think about at hand. Might post once I have had a think later. Love Emma xxx

Hi Chavii

I also live my life on books. I love Shakespeare and like Bob my favourite is Hamlet. I do love classic books as well as modern books. What else do you like? Love Emma xxx

None taken Friends~

I have only read one of Sidney Sheldon's books and found it good, I am not sure how the others are. What age is 9th grade because I live in England and am not sure exactly what age that is. I do agree with you Archer is a talented writer. Love Emma xxx

I agree with you totally. Love Emma xxx

I have read ROOTS. Amazing!

My favourite character was Otto Skorzeny in the World War Two in the Balance series by Harry Turtle.

Skorzeny (in real life) was a nazi, a monster, a murderer and worse. Not a very nice man at all.

But he was also brave beyond words. The way he is changed by events to be a hero of sorts shows how men, even monsters, can be admired for raw courage.

Bert

***Even though I admire the man's heroic actions (even monsters have a code of honour) I HATE the guy with a vengeance and total conviction. I am neither a nazi, racist or anti-semite.***
