The books I remember. I am 76 and a life time reader. At 13 I read Grapes of Wrath; at 15, On the Beach; at 16, The Mystery of Easter Island, and Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights; at 18, The Tale of Two Cities, The Diary of Anne Frank. I have read hundreds of books, probably thousands. The ones that are the greatest are the ones I remember.
Oh no, I can’t pick a favourite!! Um, Raymond E Feist, David Eddings, Sarah J Maas, Kristen Britain, Taran Matharu just to name a few authors. And there are so many single books that I like too, I’d be here for a long time writing them all down!
After the Bible, This Present Darkness, Piercing The Darkness and Prophet by Frank Peretti, and The Chronicles Of Narnia, and The Hobbit and The Two Towers (for some reason, I haven’t read the rest of The Lord Of The Rings series, but I intend to). And add Redeeming Love, by Francine Rivers.
Such a hard decision to make! I’m more into classics. My favorite boys are Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer! I need to reread one of them after too many reads to see how different I feel. Don’t mind me, please! I have serious reading habits!
Far too many books over far too many years for me to chose just one. Edit: But, have to say, a book I highly recommend to anyone is ‘Count of Monte Cristo’ by Dumas. Fantastic!

I don’t understand anyone that can choose only one book, only one series, only one author, only one genre. It just sounds so limiting.

There are so many books and so many authors, but if I have to pick one–Msomi and Me by Brian Connell.
Da Vinci Code
I recently read “Love In A Torn Land: Joanna of Kurdistan” by Jean Sasson (non-fiction). It was both heart breaking and amazingly beautiful.
