At the moment its The Time Travellers Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. Her first book at it was absolutley fantastic. You had to concentrate in the begining to get your head round the changes in time etc but it was brilliant and the relationship between husband and wife was just beautiful.

The Time Travellers Wife is my favourite in the last few years, but my favourite all time book is Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Love In the Time of Cholera. I have probably read this book once a year for the last 10 year and will never tire of it. It is beautifully written, a little weird but the most wonderful love story ever. Love yours too pikey but prefer Tess of the d'Urvervilles.

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I love all her books, but that is my fave. I'm a Tess person more than Jude too, Ellie - but Hardy's books are great too.

I love Hardy because he never romanticised relationships....people were real..warts and all.Reading an old book recommended by a workmate..Billy by Albert French about racism in the deep south

Hard to pick a favourite book - 'Don Quixote' by Miguel De Cervantes would be in my top 5 along with J D Salinger's Catcher In the Rye and Joseph Heller's 'Something Happend'.
I really enjoyed 'The Time Travellers Wife' , too. I've recently finished reading 'The shadow Of The Wind' by Carlos Ruiz Zafon.....execellent!
'The Kite Runner' by Khaled Hosseini (Sob!) sooo poignant, it really did bring a lump to my throat and tears to my eyes.

Really difficult to choose just one - Pride and Prejudice, Tess of the D'Urbervilles - both wonderful - I also love A Room with a View, Little Women - I can't choose just one I am sorry - too many fantastic books out there :D

Am also really fond of classic children's books like The Secret Garden, A Little Princess, The House in Norham Gardens - I love reading @^@

How funny. I was about to put Catcher in the Rye when I read your post there Geena. I also really enjoyed The Golden Gate by Vikram Seth and I found Three Men in a Boat pretty hilarious.

I have The catcher in the Rye and 3 men in a boat on my to read shelf (along with about 20 others) :D

I think wuthering Heights has to big very high up for me , but it would be hard to pick one single one. A lot depends on my mood when I read a book.

My daughter is an avid reader and I read a lot of the books she brings home.There's such a fantastic range of children's books around now.A gathering light by Jennifer Donnelly is fantastic and anything by Michael Morpurgo or Robert Swindells
As a Child my fave books were the chronicles of narnia and the Owl service!

I'd find it pretty hard to choose one book as the genres that I read are pretty varied.

Post subject: 
yeah I agree Jezi as I like reading 1984 but also Harry Potter as well

Umm, to be totally shallow, but i'd go for "Good omens" by Pratchett and Gamian, a very good pastiche of "Just William" type books in there somewhere!! I do love Martin Amis' Times Arrow, and Historica-_fiction, Flashman, Hervey and Sharpe are great characthers :D

Yet Elroys "the Big Nowhere" is superb, him and Paretsky are just brilliant crime-thriller writers :D

So i dunno, to sum up {@} {@} {@}
