I have too many cherished books to choose just one; now I'm reading The Secret History by Donna Tart. Anyone read it?

I am a TOTAL scifi/fantasy fan, and I'm constantly changing my favorite authors, books, ect. At the moment I'm enthralled by C.S.Friedman's This Alien Shore (I swear, I read it 5 times over!!!), and I'm working on Ayn Raid's Atlas Struggled & Orbital Resonance by John Barnes. I also LOVE anything by Dave Duncan, Raymond E Feist, Mercedes Lackey...... Ok- I'm going to stop now or this will take up an entire page.  |

Another series, in which I enjoy reading is the book "The boy who Lives" and the ones after that one. I just can't remember who the author is, at the moment, but they are based on a true story, and the author is actually the one that went through all of the struggles. Peace, Yuka

Mine change all the time, but now they are: Extremly Loud and Incredibly Close (somebody Safran Foer, I think.) The Wrinkle in Time Series (Madeline L'Engle) The Silmirillion (JRR Tolkien, duh.) So You Want to Be A Wizard Series (Diane Duane) and Kissing Doorknobs (Terry Hesser, I think.)

Yeah, well, you're an ***hole for saying I make you sick. And it's funny how you get angry at me for being "narrowminded" when I am not being narrowminded but saying how you present yourself but if I were to call you narrowminded (which you are more often than I am), then you would get angry at me. Whoever said I was "inclusive" or "tolerant."??? Are you thinking I am someone else? I have opinions. I voice them. A favorite book is one you enjoy reading. The Bible is a good teaching tool and one that you can use as a reference book. But it is, by no means, enjoyable to read for pleasure. My problem with this is that people who say their favorite book is the Bible seem to me to be like the hypocrites God disapproved of: The ones who stood on the street an proclaimed their love for God simply for attention, not because they actually love God. Saying the Bible is your favorite book to an online community open to everyone in the world makes it seem like you want everyone to think you are absolutely wonderful and holy, etc. because you must be a better Christian than someone else who says Marx is their favorite. It's hypocritical and makes you sound obnoxious.
wow that was a smackdown. you are actually a jesus freak i can somewhat tolerate, because you bestow some logic. And it does make my blood boil to hear someone say they like to read the bible. While educational etc. the bible is by no means an edge of your seat thriller and nobody bust on Marx or Engles for their views. Read condition of the working class in England by Marx. You will sober up pretty quickly. Marx toured Europe and observed its working class, he was disgusted, and rightfully so. At that time the working class was living a terrible life. Cigar factory workers, coal miners, and many more all working long hours in crowded filthy conditions. They didnt make any money, it was hard for them to feed their families, and they were always sick. Marx and Engles began to sculp their views of socialism based on the terrible way human workers were treated. Socialism and Marxist-Socialism is not evil, unfortunately it has been used as a tool for authoritarianism, but its true intention was just to deliver a better life to those who at the time did not have it btw I like way too many books to name just one favorite, or even 5
