What is your favorite book that you have read ?

The Godfather and Omerta - Mario Puzo...

The Prophet - Khalil Gibran

 

Yeah, I have it on Blu-ray. One of the greatest "understated" acting performances ever, imho. I'm not embarrassed to say that the movie brings tears to my eyes every time I watch the scene of Atticus Finch leaving the courtroom after the verdict.

 

Another couple of reads that I couldn't put down were Dennis Lehane's "Mystic River" and Stephen King's "The Green Mile", both of which were well adapted to film.

 

Lincoln in the Bardo

 

Discworld series - Terry Pratchett
Long Earth Series - Terry Pratchett/Stephen Baxter
Dune - Frank Herbert/Brian Herbet/Kevin J Anderson
Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkein
Night Angel Trilogy - Brent Weeks
Night Watch Books - Sergei Lukyanenko

I could go on, have about 150 books in my flat and rising..

 

Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut
The Savage Detectives by Roberto Bolano
House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski

 

Run Silent, Run Deep by Edward L. Beach
Anything written by Tom Clancy
The Caine Mutiny, The Winds of War, War & Remembrance by Herman Wouk

 

Hard to pick a favourite... anything by John Grisham or Frederick Forsyth is very good though.

 

Desiring God - John Piper
Demonic - Ann Coulter
The Battle for the beginning - John MacArthur
The Enemy Within - Kris Lundgaard

 

Oh I forgot about Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud

 

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter . S . Thompson, The diary of Anne Frank and The Celestine Prophecy.

 

Have just finished Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman. Was a good read and if you're into Norse Mythology stories its a good read.

Not sure what's next, I think I just read the last book I had to read :/

 

I don't read a lot these days so I'll start with a few I read when young. To varying degrees, they have influenced my thinking and my life.
I was encouraged to read 'the classics'.

Peter Pan
Moby Dick
Huckleberry Finn
Black Beauty
Peter Rabbit
Alice in Wonderland
Wizard of Oz
The Wind in the Willows
Heidi
Charlotte's Web
Sleeping Beauty
The Ugly Duckling
The Little Mermaid (Non-Disney)
Gulliver's Travels
The Emperor's New Clothes

Call of the Wild
The Jungle Book
Blinky Bill

There's a few that I can think of.

Of my recent reads: (Recent being last 5-10 years)

Outlander series
Dragons of Pern series
Clan of the Cave Bear (The first four - The rest were too 'soap opera' for my tastes)

That will do for now.
