The Stand | Stephen King
post image

Whenever I fly to NY I listen to The Stand. The group has made it to CO, Mother Abagail has gone off into wherever she goes, and Nadine has gone to live with Harold. #favoritebookever

Gayan Such an amazing read every time. 6y

A Single Man: A Novel | Christopher Isherwood
post image
Pickpick

Isherwood makes something breathtakingly beautiful in this account of a man's everyday life after loss. Reading George's sorrow is ultimately comforting, and utterly human.

this might be my #FavoriteBookEver

Jane Eyre | Charlotte Bront

I'm a sucker for anything from the Victorian era, but I especially love Jane Eyre. Gothic romance rocks, being both creepy and romantic and Jane was always so independent and stubborn. She reminds me a bit of myself. #FavoriteBookEver

Pride and Prejudice | Jane Austen

New Android Litten here from Wisconsin - So freaking happy to be here! My tastes in books are all over the place, but I'll confess that I am a total Janeite at heart. #FavoriteBookEver

Alma I totally get it! 😀 Pride and Prejudice was my first Austen, and just like that I was hooked! Persuasion is great too! 8y
Hornsby78 I am also a HUGE fan of Austen. Welcome to Litsy! 8y
OutlandishLit Welcome to litsy!! I shamefully haven't read any austen yet. Is pride and prejudice where a newbie should start? 8y

Pinchclamp Love Persuasion too...Captain Wentworth's letter melts me every time! 8y
Pinchclamp @OutlandishLit I started with Sense and Sensibility, but I think P&P is the best way to tell if you're going to love the rest of Austen. Start there! 8y
DebinHawaii P&P is my all-time favorite book! You will find many Austen fans on here! Welcome to Litsy! ❤️📚😀🎉 8y
Sara_Planz Welcome from a fellow Austen lover!! 8y
LiteraryinLawrence Welcome! I read Eligible expecting to be underwhelmed (as an Austen purist, I thought) but I actually loved it! 8y
megt Welcome! 8y
SusanInTiburon I got my husband hooked on Jane Austen this year! Dreams come true. 💜 8y
LauraBrook Welcome from a fellow Cheesehead! 🧀 I'm an Austenite too, S&S was my first- and I still haven't read P&P! 8y
witchyreader13 I love Pride & Prejudice too. I haven't read any other Austen though. 8y

So, because choosing just one is impossible, and I'm a teacher, I'm going to tell you my favorite book to teach. Holding is a great way to sneak horror, my all-time favorite genre, into the classroom. The students really enjoy it, and it's a great opportunity to "scare" up deep conversations about the nature of who we are. (see what I did there?)??? #FavoriteBookEver #toteach

Kenny I haven't read this since high school but you're making me think it's time for a reread. 8y
SusanInTiburon Good one! I just learned this year that the title Lord of the Flies is a translation of the word Beelzebub. Makes so much sense now! 8y
Kerouacthedog @Kenny totally worth rereading all your high school syllabus. 8y
Kerouacthedog @SusanInTiburon I find something new every time we read it. Sometimes once or twice per class! 8y

Never Let Me Go | Kazuo Ishiguro

Hi, brand new Android device-owning Litsy users. We like books here. Talk to us about books.

I'll start. My favorite book ever is Never Let Me Go. What's yours? Tell me here and tell the world on your own page. Maybe we need a hashtag.

#FavoriteBookEver

Pinchclamp Hi, and thanks for the welcome! I have a hard time with this question (as I'd imagine most people here do!), but if you held a gun to my head, I'd say Pride and Prejudice. #FavoriteBookEver 8y
Alma Thanks for welcoming us, it sure feels nice being here amongst fellow readers! :D As for my favorite book, I'd say- if I absolutely have to choose one- The book thief by Marcus Zusak. I couldn't get over it for months !! 8y
thesaurusrex Oh man, I could spend all day thinking about this but the first one that comes to mind is actually a play called The Pillowman. I am so excited to meet all the new Littens! #FavoriteBookEver 8y

Kenny @Pinchclamp I don't have a hard time choosing at all. I don't know what that says about me. 8y
Kenny @Alma 1. You're going to love Litsy. 2. That book is incredible. 8y
Kenny @thesaurusrex How have I not heard of that book? Who's the author? 8y
OutlandishLit Not new bc I was in the beta... But how can I resist. Geek Love by Katherine Dunn! 8y
Alma @Kenny I am loving it already!! I have heard so many great things about it, I can't wait to get my hands on it! 8y
sarielizbeth New and excited! So many favorite books: Harry Potter, anything by Brandon Sanderson or Jim Butcher, right now I'm finishing all of Gail Carriger's books and loving them. 8y
GilbertGrape The Phantom Toll Booth opened my eyes to fiction way back in elementary. So while I can't pick a fav as an adult, this book will always have a special place in my nerdy little book-loving heart. 8y
caitgordon I think I would have to chose Catcher in the Rye as my #FavoriteBookEver. It perked my interest in reading and I got an A+ on my book report. I'd been struggling in English lit before I read it. 8y
CupcakesAndRoses Never Let Me Go is my favourite too along with Cloud Atlas! 8y
thesaurusrex @Kenny it's by Martin McDonagh, it's absolutely fantastic 8y
klwestenberg Helloooo! Geez, picking a #FavoriteBookEver is difficult...different faves at different points in my life. Currently though, I keep returning to Woolf's The Waves. 🌊 8y
kelfuller77 Favorite book ever???? ahhh! ok let me try...I have definitely comfort books that I read over and over . We Have Always Live In the Castle and I Capture the Castle. ( and no.. I dont have a weird castle fetish) 8y
ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled I totally support that choice! My favorite is History of the Rain 8y
jessicaesquire I haven't read it in a few years but I still default to THE SECRET HISTORY. 8y
Horrortorte My number one was, is and will always be Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. No other story left such a large footprint in my reader's life ❤ 8y
Cathy12 I am loving Litsy! It's so hard to pick one #FavoriteBookEver, but The Handmaid's Tale will always be on my short list. 8y
Condalmo Cloud Atlas is pretty high up on my list. 8y
ineverlearn Winesburg, Ohio by Sherwood Anderson ❤️ 8y
TheLudicReader Asking a book lover to choose a favourite book is cruel. #can'tdoit 8y
