<p>Any book written by Simon Green.</p>
<p>Mine are tied between “The Alchemist” and “Looking for Alaska”.
Check them out. (:</p>
<p>The Great Gatsby
Premonitions
and Double Dutch</p>
<p>Considering the only literature I read nowadays are required reading, my favorite has to be 1984. Followed by To Kill a Mockingbird.</p>
<p>I’m not much into fiction anymore…</p>
<p>Right now, I’m in love with On Liberty by J. S. Mill. So…perfect.</p>
<p>I loved Catcher in the Rye for the first few weeks after I finished reading it, but then I realized Holden was a complete idiot who I couldn’t relate enough to in order to truly extract some value from him. I still really appreciate the book.</p>
<p>I love the Harry Potter series. So many themes and exhilarating moments…</p>
<p>And the series on Eragon. It gets so philosophical about things sometimes…and there’s the great plot and style.</p>
<p>Oh. And Orwell’s books. 1984 especially. They turned me into a budding intellectual. Definitely my favorite works of fiction. I dream of writing like him.</p>
<p>I love George Orwell’s writing too. When I first read 1984, I KNEW there was something special about his writing, so I started to read his non-fiction books as well. I got pretty obsessed with Orwell for a while!</p>
<p>Nineteen Minutes - Jodi Picoult.</p>
<p>The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde</p>
<p>A tie between Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying, and Nick Hornby’s High Fidelity.</p>
<p>In my lit class we just finished reading Tim O’Brien’s Going After Cacciato and I absolutely loved it. I usually wouldn’t read a book like GAC because I usually read character-driven novels as opposed to those driven by plot, but it was absolutely brilliant. Chapter 44 is honestly one of the most poignant, beautiful, and moving passages I’ve ever read.</p>
<p>Both are excellent books, chesers. :)</p>
<p>first: burgess’ “a clockwork orange” and “nevada” by josh porter
2nd: orwell’s “1984” and huxley’s “brave new world”</p>
<p>for app essays about favorite quotes, i took mine from clockwork :]</p>
<p>… So many books to choose from >.<</p>
<p>I’ll have to say The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. Notes from Underground by Dostoyevsky is a close second, though.</p>
<p>The Great Gatsby.</p>
<p>so many to choose from…the metamorphosis by franz kafka,
the stranger by albert camus, the things they carried tim o’brien and a bunch more.</p>
<p>Orwell’s 1984</p>
<p>Pillars of the Earth by Ken Folliett</p>
<p>One Hundred Years of Solitude by Marquez.</p>
<p>Yes, I’ve changed my favorite book. And I don’t regret it. This is simply genius; amazing; a billion other words that fail to describe it.</p>
<p>Maybe Anna Karenina?</p>
<p>I’m not sure.</p>
<p>the shadow club by neil shusterman</p>
<p>great book. i first stumbled upon it maybe 6 years ago, and i loved it. and so i recently bought it off amazon. at first i was like ehhh, this book is too kiddy, i’m too old for this, but as it progressed i realized that it’s as great as ever. maybe even greater because i understand it better. i ended up reading most of the book in one sitting after i started to catch on to it</p>
