<p>Since we have a thread for most boring books, let's talk about our favorites!</p>
<p>My all-time favorite is Catch-22...it wasn't even required reading. I tried it in 8th grade and could NOT get through it, understandably. Read it again in 9th grade and completely loved it.</p>
<p>Also a favorite is Slaughterhouse-Five. Both books are soooo funny, and then suddenly so tragic, and you find yourself mysteriously attached to them...such great writing.</p>
<p>What about you guys?</p>
<p>Are we talking classics or all books?
My favorite books are the Harry Potter series!
I also like the Warriors series, Percy Jackson, The Hunger Games and Graceling/Fire.</p>
<p>Separate books I like: A Mango Shaped Space, Tailchaser’s Song, Kira-Kira.</p>
<p>Great Expectations, The Kite Runner, Frankenstein, Never Let Me Go, Mrs. Dalloway, Life and Times of Michael K, and, of course, Animal Farm. The list could go on and on, but I shall try to contain myself. </p>

<p>Since I am into politics and economics, I’d have so say my favorite book is “The Rise and Fall of the Great Powers” by Dr. Paul Kennedy. Extensive analysis of the rise and fall of probably every empire from the Portuguese to Post WW2 Japan and USA.
The second would probably be “The Wealth and Poverty of Nations: Why some are so rich, and others so poor” by Dr. David Landes</p>
<p>Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks is so brilliant. Also The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, All Quiet on the Western Front, and The Road Back both by Erich Maria Remarque.
Graceling/Fire/Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore and Paper Towns by John Green are my favourite non war books :)</p>
<p>I really enjoyed The Great Gatsby and Jane Eyre. My ALL time favorite would have to be Jane Eyre.</p>
<p>Life of Pi.
Too perf.</p>
<p>Great Gastby-F Scott Fitzgerald</p>
<p>1984- George Orwell</p>
<p>My interest in politics and history lead me to read: Profiles in Courage by President John F Kennedy. Great story on the profiles of courage among some of our nation’s congressional leaders.</p>
<p>Never Let Me Go and The Book Thief were both amazing. But both Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings will always be my favorite book series.</p>
<p>I did also really like The Kite Runner and pretty much any book by John Green. </p>
<p>Okay, I basically love reading, it’s impossible to come up with favorites. :)</p>
<p>^I LOVED The Book Thief! Best classic we ever got to read. :)</p>
<p>Ranger’s Apprentice and Percy Jackson. I love those series-that’s where the Ranger part of my username comes from. ;)</p>
<p>A Night to Remember</p>
<p>The Last Apprentice series</p>
<p>Graceling/Fire/Bitterblue</p>
<p>Good history textbooks</p>
<p>In no order:</p>
<p>Great Gatsby
Siddhartha
The Fountainhead</p>
<p>-Book Thief (I see other share the same sentiment)
-Flags of Our Fathers
-All Quiet on the Western Front</p>
<p>I know I’m probably beating a dead horse, but any book in The Hunger Games series lol</p>
<p>Siddhartha
My Sister’s Keeper
Angels & Demons</p>
<p>A lot of people are posting classics type of books, so I guess I will post those too:</p>
<p>In no particular order,
Jane Eyre
Les Miserables
Northanger Abbey
The Book Thief
1984
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
The Importance of Being Earnest</p>
<p>I don’t see a problem in a classic being a favorite. That’s why they’re classics…they’re timeless and, for the most part, incredible.</p>
<p>I could never really get through The Hunger Games. Just didn’t captivate me…let alone the fact that I’ve read Battle Royale already. :P</p>
<p>The Great Gatsby, Flappers and Philosophers, This Side of Paradise… anything Scott F. Fitzgerald, really 
Lolita by Nabokov
Paper Towns by John Green (wayyy better than Looking for Alaska, imo)
1984 by Orwell</p>
<p>Oh my God, Siddhartha! We read it in 9th grade and the whole book I hated it but when we finished I was like, “Dayum that was amazing.”</p>
<p>Um, like Order of the Phoenix xD</p>
<p>To Kill a Mockingbird- I read it over the weekend for fun.
What the Dog Saw by Malcolm Gladwell (an anthology of some of his coolest articles- I like it waaay better than his pop-psych books. If you want to read them for free, they’re all on his website. I’ve got it stickied…)</p>
