What is your favorite book?
This is my first post so I decided to ask this.
Mine is “a time to kill” bye John Grisham.

Hard to choose just one book, so I'll throw out a couple:
The Firekeeper saga by Jane Lindskold
The Companions by Sheri Tepper
The Gormenghast trilogy by Mervyn Peake
The Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson

Cats cradle, Kurt Vonnegut.
It wrecked me when I read it the first time, and it was the first time I experienced a writer ripping apart my brain and leaving me to jigsaw the thing back together.
A lot of his books could have done it, but that was the one that did.

I have a lot of favorites for different criteria, but probably the easy answer that comes to mind is Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

So far I’ve read 1984 5 times twice in school and 3 more times since graduation. The most recent was this past summer

My son caught me off guard asking me this question the other day. My first reply was The Stand, but there's a little book called Lying by Sam Harris that was pretty important to me.
Anyway, the reason I really replied was to say that many of John Grisham's books are kind of like candy, they just go down so quick. Fun reads by and large; The Partner is probably my favorite.
