The Impersonal Life, by Joseph Benner is a book that was actually given to me during the beginning of my spiritual journey. To this date I've read it no less then 10 times.

I don't have an ultimate favorite book, but Anne of Green Gables is one of my favorites.

 

[Beautiful Fireball]

Till We Have Faces by C.S Lewis. I normally am not a huge fan of fantasy and mythology type books, but the symbolism is amazing!

 

[Neve]

I have several favorite books, among them The Virgin Blue by Tracy Chevalier, Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld, and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.

 

[Ainuhina]

Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien is my all time fav. book

 

[wiggsfly]

I've got a few but Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett and Salty Piece of Land by Jimmy Buffett are probably at the top.

i love reading

cool man!!! reading is a great way to spend time. i just finished reading Seabiscuit a few weeks back, about the horse, and the movie with toby mcquire in it. Seabiscuit, for me, was almost an ethereal read. when i read that one of the author's (Laura Hillenbrand) favorite books was none other than Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen, then, that really rocked me. P&P is my #1 with Seabiscuit somewhere near the top.

Eragon and Eldest, at the top of my head. Also I enjoy a Series of Unfortuante Events (Snicket is a mad genius!)

 

[Da_Funkey_Gibbon]

It changes with my mood. At the moment I'll say "Decline and Fall" by Evelyn Waugh.

 

[CelticGrace]

My top two favs are:
The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom
Diary of Anne Frank

Weird choices I know, but I've always been fascinated by that period in history and they're both excellent, if very tragic, books.

Without a doubt, I would have to say Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkien. Tolkien singlehandedly created the genre of modern fantastical literature with that novel (and its not a trilogy, its a novel in 3 parts ). His worldbuilding in literature is without peer, and his characters are insanely wonderfully developed. His side books for that universe, especially the Silmarillion, detail a beautifully intense world.

I actually loved the movies, because I made an effort to seperate the movies from the books. Even in the first one, theres enough different that you almost have to do that. From a geek's perspective, yeah there were alot of things you go like "Man, I can't believe they left that out!" or "WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!!" but for the most part I think they did a pretty good job translating the series. Its a hard job, and its really the only book to movie translation that I like.
