What are your all time favorite books? Do you have such a book at all?
From when i was a kid the adventures of mr pinkwhistle
I have a few. Joan Wolf’s The Road to Avalon, Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight series and The Host, Erin Morgenstern’s The Night Circus, Patrick Suskind’s Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, Paullina Simons’ The Bronze Horseman series, Marion Zimmer Bradley’s The Mists of Avalon, Brian McGreevy’s Hemlock Grove…
Perfume is a great book. Too bad the movie was not that good
@Cornelia I actually love the movie
Definitely not as good as the book, but it’s where I first saw Karoline Herfurth
@Christle Really? It was one of the book adaptions that I did not like
But good that there are different opinions and tastes. 
I loved “Lion – A long way home “
@Cornelia I haven’t read the book of that or seen the movie, but I need to!
@Christle I loved it, let me know how you liked it
Also loved The Night Circus and Perfume. Both in my top ten.
I have many favorite books and many favorite authors.
I have too many to count ,but if I had to chose I would say The Hobbit.
The Outsiders, Of Mice and Men, just to name a couple
I’d have to break it down into genres, and give a top three that I think of first right at this moment. Let’s see…
Children’s books:
?Winnie the Pooh
?Where The Sidewalk Ends
?Pippi Longstocking
?The Secret Garden
?Black Beauty
?The Chronicles of Narnia
?The Scorpio Races
?Six of Crows
?The Daughter of Smoke & Bone
?I’ll Give You The Sun
?Eleanor & Park
?A Monster Calls
?The Takeshi Kovacs trilogy
?The Illuminae Files trilogy
?Red Rising trilogy
?Rex Stout’s Nero Wolf Series
?Every Sherlock—by Conan Doyle, not the others!
?Agatha Christie’s entire body of work
?The Three Musketeers
?Dracula
?The Brothers Karamazov
Okay—I’m gonna stop now, because honestly, this is just too difficult! I give up on choosing favorites! It’s IMPOSSIBLE!
?
Love Winnie The Pooh and Pippi as well
A great list Siri, any romance favourites?
Love your list Siri!!! I found a lot of matches
That’s why I didn’t start Siri…..got to go to work in six hours!
@Janice You know, I haven’t tried any strictly romance books!
But for stories with a great romantic plot—other than the ones I already picked—I’ll say:
?The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice & Virtue
?The Host
?The Song of Achilles
Thanks Siri, I’ve got quite a few from your list and ones I don’t I’ve added to my 1900 books on my kindle lol.
I’ll probably go to my grave not reading them all hehe ???

The Vegetarian by Han Kang
Omy goodness. Wrinkle in Time. Harry Potter. Erma Bombeck. Earth Odyssey. Just Mercy. James Herriot Wuthering Heights. Sherlock Holmes. Rebecca. The Historian.
Also loved Wuthering Heights, Rebecca and The Historian.
They are all fascinating reads. The Historian takes patience as the story really builds upon itself.

Anything by vc andrews or Jacki Collins. Water for elephants, divergent series, the nightingale, and FSOG series (I know a lot of people hate it but I love it).
I loved Jackie so sad that she’s gone. Gino and her both left with her last book.

I have a few.
1. Water For Elephants
2. The Time Traveler’s Wife
3. Fortune’s Rock’s by Anita Shreve
4. Sue Grafton’s Alphabet mystery series
4. Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon
The Thornbirds. Don’t know why but I just love that book. I read it as a teenager and then also as an adult. My BFF found a secondhabd copy at a market once and gave it to me for a Christmas present. So happy.
Josie~Anything by James Patterson, Stuart Woods, Robert Parker, Danielle Steel. Although this year I’m reading nonfiction. It started out as a struggle but its reading & I don’t like quitting when it comes to reading. ?
All of Dan Brown and Sidney Sheldon. I want to find interesting romance novels too, and start digging into it.
The Fountainhead
My latest is “Beach Music” by Pat Conroy. It’s a big book but includes so many periods of time that our nation went through affecting the one family (novel, but true events).
I love reading historical fiction so this is going on my TBR list!
