<p>I know a lot of schools ask about your favorite books either in the interviews or on the apps... So I was wondering, what are some of your favorite books? (I need some recommendations)</p>
<p>You're not going to read some books just to have an answer for an interview, are you? Don't you already have some books you've read that you really like?</p>
<p>my favorite books are gone with the wind, jane eyre, this side of paradise, the awakening, and freakonomics if that counts.</p>
<p>Well...the funny thing about this question is that they want to know what your favorite books are, not the ones that you think should be your favorites books, but aren't--or worse, books that you haven't read.</p>
<p>put a book that you've read that you like. a lot. you can't just reach into the new york times book review - they'll know if you're lying. dont try to sound smarter than you are.</p>
<p>but i would refrain from putting down Captain Underpants. just as a note.</p>
<p>My favorite books are Slaughterhouse-Five, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, The Things They Carried, and a lot more. How many books are you supposed to put?</p>
<p>My favorite books are Jane Eyre, A Great and Terrible Beauty, The Last Unicorn, and the Harry Potter books. I can't imagine talking about my last three in an interview..</p>
<p>haha wow that's pathetic "(I need some recommendations)"...learn to have some personal opinion geez</p>

<p>Maybe he's looking for a place to start? I read a lot and have a good idea of what my favorite books are, but I'm not above asking other people for book suggestions.</p>
<p>Read Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials. The Amber Spyglass has been my favorite book ever since it arrived, and I waited around for it after reading the first two books like many people did with the seventh Harry Potter book.</p>
<p>Green Eggs and Ham!</p>
<p>ahhhh was A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man good? I read some other James Joyce and loved it...</p>
<p>"ahhhh was A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man good? I read some other James Joyce and loved it..."
Yeah, it's awesome. It's probably one of Joyce's easier books -- if you liked his others, you will love this. I liked it more than his others because I can sort of relate to what Stephen's going through, like his desire for freedom, and the sort of separation between him and those around him (no, I don't think I'm the next James Joyce).</p>
<p>Talk about Mein Kampf in your interview and you should do just fine.</p>
<p>^The Anarchist's Cookbook would also be a fine addition to one's repertoire.</p>
<p>Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman</p>
<p>The Picture of Dorian Gray is good.</p>
<p>books?</p>
<p>what are those?</p>
<p>my favorites are the picture of dorian gray and the importance of being earnest although that's a play... hm.</p>
<p>I loved Atlas Shrugged, The Fountainhead, Pillars of the Earth, Les Miserables, and Slaughterhouse-5. I think I'm partial to long books; 4/5 of those are (in some editions) 1000 pages long.</p>
<p>edit: And if you count plays, I like Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.</p>
