Favorite book of all time?

Yes, which book will you always remember? Be it from your childhood days or even a current book that sparked your intrest? Make sure you tell me WHY it's your favorite book. I don't want this thread to become a one word thread.

My book would have to be: The Giver. The whole concept of a Dystopia where everyone is innocent is so interesting to me. It really got me how they would kill people who didn't accept there job and didn't know it was wrong. Gave me goose bumps.

Hatchet by Gary Paulsen.

Great book overall, love the survival theme.

The Immortal Instruments series

Dan Brown 'The Lost Symbol'. Great book to the series

Hunger Games is great as well

1984 by George Orwell

I've been into the halo series here and there, I thought The Fall of Reach was really good, but the The Flood was horrible. Don't even get me started on first strike. I mean they could have been written better..it's just all the space time bored that hell out of me.

Sci-Fi wise I'd say 'Infected'
Over all I'd have to say 'Dorian Grey' and 'A Separate Piece'

Also 'Fahrenheit 451' had a pretty interesting concept. The government blocking everything and destroying all books so no one could ever be offended
The best part is the irony of the firefighters
They start the fires not stop them

Amazing book you read 1984? has the same socialistic views

Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut

A Dirty Job - Christopher Moore.

Great, strange, amazing book.

Also, i loved Petey. Ehh, i dunno the author.
It's an incredibly funny, and sad at most parts.

The Outsiders. I Love that story. It's the only book I'd read a hundred times over and not get sick of it.

The outsiders is an amazing book,
i must admit.
The movie kinda sucked.

xD I kinda liked the movie. Mainly because it had the karate kid in it, and I thought the acting was great. The ending is always a downer though. =/

why because johnny pretty much gets burned to death and there friend gets shot? haa

So far, My Bloody Life As A Latin King is the greatest book I have ever read.
The details of this guys life growing up is to the point and pretty well talked about, and how he went through struggles growing up, an abusive father, a denying mother, etc...

Not of my childhood, but i love the book Exit Here.

Love it.

The Cartoon History Of The Universe.

The Notebook
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

That's my favourite series too. I didn't think there would be another person here that would like that series. =o

I've only been able to read the first book though, I have to order the books on-line because they don't sell them locally. D:

Twilight, the vampire book that doesn't ONCE mention the word FANGS?

Pretty pathetic.

They don't sell them in the US? That's... strange.

I watched the TV show first, which introduced me to the books. Going through them incredibly slowly, I don't want them to end! At least there's 11 of them :p Up to the 6th right now.

I, for one, thought Twilight was a great experience and thought that Stephenie Meyers new and orginial twist to vampires and werewolves was quite creative. Saying that, I also think a few things could have been changed, I mean, vampires glittering the in sun was a little absurd.

Who's your favorite character? I admire Jasper and his dark side. xD
