GTKY-All time favourite books

[liziz]

All of the HP books, of course.
To Kill a Mockingbird
Lamb - Christopher Moore
All the Light we Cannot See - Anthony Doerr is my most favorite recent read. It's the first book in forever I have read slowly to savor it!

Harry Potter for sure. Also, Summer Sisters by Judy Blume.

The Great Gatsby. It's been my favorite since high school and one of very few books I've ever read multiple times. I'm currently re-reading the Outlander Series so I guess that would put it on my list too. I love to read, but there aren't really many books I'd classify as amazing or my favorites. I'm not really sure why. Maybe it's the type I tend to read (historical non-fiction) over much actual fiction. I feel like I've been burned in my attempts to read fiction, so I don't give it much of a chance.

Cdnfroggy, yep, I'll probably take some suggestions from here to give fiction another go. My father gave me Chesapeake for Christmas last year so I've picked it back up. It's about 1,000 pages, so we'll see how it goes. I'd like to give it my full attention before trying something else.

HP of course. My favorite book is Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

I really haven't read any books in a long time ( over 2yrs). I used to read at least a book a month before C.

jnnfrrose6 , I've heard of Chesapeake, is it a historical fiction?

Yes. Its about an area around the mouth of the Chesapeake and everything that goes on there over the years. It started with Native Americans pre-Europeans. I'm somewhere around page 80 now and its up to John Smith, but more about one of the "gentlemen" who has come over with him to settle in the new world, so there's a lot still to go. My father said he read it around when it came out (he would have been in college then) and saw it when he was at the bookstore last Christmas and thought I would like it.

All the HP books, I did love The Order of the Phoenix, I thought it was handled really well. I love the way the character views and understanding of the world corresponds with the depth as the novels progress though. I also enjoy the quips and humor hidden in there.

Pride and Prejudice because I love Jane Austen and Elizabeth Bennett is one of my favorite characters. It also makes me chuckle.

Quite a few Robin MicKinley and Mercedes Lackey books because I enjoy sci-fi/fantasy fiction. I enjoy both author's creativity and tone of voice.
