<p>what is your all-time favorite book(s)? ... i know this is a spinoff of another thread...</p>

<p>Easy</p>

<p>Survivor- Chuck Palahniuk</p>

<p>Autobiography of Malcolm X.</p>

<p>Dune series.</p>

<p>I also love reading military books, especially about Special Forces, Navy Seals, Recon, etc.</p>

<p>Catch-22 by Joseph Heller.</p>

<p>the Odyssey</p>

<p>The Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit by Tolkin</p>

<p>The Young Lions and Rich Man, Poor Man by Irwin Shaw</p>

<p>Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut</p>

<p>There's a Girl in the Boy's Bathroom by Louis Sachar
Maniac Magee by Jerry Spinelli
Matilda by Roald Dahl </p>

<p>.... </p>

<p>Great Expecations by Charles Dickens
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee</p>

<p>The Light of Other Days by Arthur C. Clarke and Stephen Baxter
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon</p>

<p>I dunno whether to agree with glowingamy or Twinkle_Toes, because they're both great books. Although Dante's Inferno's pretty darn good too especially if you get a good translation like John Ciardi.</p>

<p>Another vote for Catch-22.</p>

<p>Wicked by Gregory Maguire of course.</p>

<p>Anything my John Grisham...</p>

<p>this man = God lol!</p>

<p>"Mere Christianity" by CS Lewis</p>

<p>CS Lewis is pretty good too, I liked the Screwtape Letters. Stuff from the demon's point of view is always fun.</p>

<p>"Life as Carola" by Joan Grant
"Woman of Substance" by Barbara Bradford
"Stride Towards Freedom" by Dr. Martin Luther King</p>

<p>The Diary of Anais Nin, The Extrodinary Correspondence of Griffin & Sabine by Nick Bantock, Lolita by Vladimar Nabokov... i'm blanking-- i don't read much because I'm afraid of picking up a book that isn't beautiful or intellectually stimulating.</p>

<p>Over the past few years, I have really enjoyed Catch-22, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Requeim for a Dream and The Crying of Lot 49.</p>

<p>I just started reading The Godfather over Christmas break (was given from, and recommended by a cousin), and I'm really liking that too</p>

<p>'cather in the rye' by jd salinger and 'siddhartha' by herman hesse</p>
