The question is very simple, what is your favourite boook? And why? I have also added a small pool about how many books do you read each year.
Anyway my favourite is L.A. Confidential written by James Ellroy.
It's a very good police story with a intriguing plot, but it's also a masterpiece of politic and social analize. The power games of institutions, the corruption that have attacked police and government and the general undeground atmosphere are the pillars fo this beautiful book. It isn't a simply police book, but a fresco of a society and of a period of the US history.

I like to read textbooks and biographies, mostly. My favorite book is called I Was Right On Time by Buck O'Neil. If you've seen Ken Burns' "Baseball" you know who he is.

This is a very entertaining and inspirational book about a man who played in baseball's old negro leagues, a great history of a part of baseball that people don't get to see all of the time.

Do comic books count? I read dozens of those each year But I don't read books that much, in school I read so many boring books, there are no books that seem interesting. But I'm into Shakephere's plays (I read them in books). I like A midsummer's night dream, it's a nice story <3.

Most of the time, I read fanfictions made by teens. Those are much easier for me to understand, and most of the time I'm on my computer anyways.

lets seee im getting into the forgettom realms series pretty good star wars i got almost every book you could think of

and the ultmate hacker book called Wyrm

I'm reading about one book per week but made a break for my graduation tests in the first two weeks of May :/ (but after this, I've got much more time to read )

my current favorite book is "No Logo!" by Naomi Klein, an independent journalist who spent quite some time researching on how multinational companies act in order to maximize profits (sweatshops, McTemp-jobs, etc etc) and countermovements like the culture jammers (people who use some big company's advertising and twist it to reveal the truth behind it - either by using the same picture but a different slogan or by using the same slogan with a different picture or just some minor changes to a slogan/picure, for example Nike's "Just do it." and "Justice - Do it, Nike!").
In my opinion these 450 pages were definitely worth the 10 bucks I spent on it (it happened to me that I spent 13 bucks on 150 pages which were crap :/)...

i would say my fav book is "gone with the wind" by margret mitchell.
i love that book to pieces, though she made black ppl look like fools who didn't know thier left from right... [anyway so my frind says], but she is "americanised", i am not pure african, and i don't frigging care what she had to say abt that.

i loved scarletts' courage, and plaiin out nastiness. she reminds me of myself... a lot. so... i would go as far to say that i like the book based on vanity reasons. yup!

If your into kiddie reading you should read the harry potter series. Lol. I liked reading Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beacher Stowe. OR if you into sci fi stuff read "The Giver", "1984", and "Brave New World". Just the whole possible future thing is cool to me. These books they talk about totalitarianism and like controlling you at birth so you are born into this "caste system" society.

I've read all of these books, cookies ... and they're all great for their genre =)

Michael: Tell me more about Wyrm, I just noticed it in the stack of books I'm going to read when I'm done with my exams

My favorite book is David Copperfield. The book is amazing..the author changed diction everytime a new character spoke..so you get the feel of what the character is about. The book is long but it's very easy to follow. I love how there are nested plots inside of the major plot because it ties all the characters together.
