I know there's a thread for your favorite authors and such, but anyway.

Just curious as to which books you could read over and over again.

Mine as of right now:

1. Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen
2. Tender is the Night - F. Scott Fitzgerald
3. To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee
4. The Chosen - Chaim Potok
5. The Bell Jar - Sylvia Plath

Ugh...lately I seem to be stuck on these....

1. Winnie the Pooh (any book)
2. The Berenstein Bears say Goodnight
3. The 3 little Pigs
4. Freddie goes on an airplane
5. Goodnight little grover

Pariah

Hmm. I generally don't read books more than once and have lots of "favorites" for lots of different reasons. But, here's a stab at it*:

1. The Killer Inside Me, Jim Thompson
2. The Emporer of Scent, forget who wrote it
3. Focault's Pendelum, Umberto Eco
4. I, Lucifer, forget who wrote it
5. Most everything else by Jim Thomspon (that's not to say "most everything else" is the name of a book, just a general reference to most of the books he's written. It's a cop-out, I know...)


*this list is subject to change for any reason at any time, so sayeth I.

No Mike Mulligan and the Steam Shovel?

I give you props for the Berenstein Bears, though!

My favorite is There's a Monster at the End of This Book.

Spoiler: The monster is Grover, even though he's the one emploring you NOT to turn the pages because you get closer and closer to the monster. Genius! Pure. literary. genius!

Thanks for the tips! Give me another year 32....

My gf has been totally consumed by this and the rest of the series. Sounds like some great stories, but unfortunately I only seem to read non-fiction.

Yeah I read this book back in high school and immediately fell in love with it - then I went out and purchased the rest of Potok's books - lol.

The story was so interesting and I very much liked learning more about the Jewish faith, etc. I'm glad your GF likes the book, too!
