Favorite All Time Fiction Book

[Booboobear84]

Silverlock by Jonathan Myers Myers

It's a one hit wonder. It contains mythical characters from Circe to Robinhood, Beowolf to Paul Bunyan without feeling contrived. Almost none of them are named. It's just really fun.

Opening Pandora’s box by Pete Andrews.

 

[OralAllOver]

Art of the Deal by Psychopath In Chief

I get it. Mine’s Huck Finn. Go Down, Moses, Moby Dick, Gatsby, Blood Meridian, Monkeywrench Gang are tied. I’d be way more well-read if I didn’t read the same books over and over

Interesting… I didn’t know this was a thing for people, thanks for opening my perspective.

I’ve only re-read two books in my life: Forever (NYC immortality story) and A Salty Piece of Land (Mindless, juvenile fun for parrot heads)

 

[Bloodandglitter]

My favorite book of all time is Girlfriend In A Coma by Douglas Coupland.

Favorite story with erotica would probably be Glamarama by Bret Easton Ellis

 

[NakedStoryLover]

Yeah... I was enjoying Sandman too... why can't famous people just not be assholes? It's not that hard.

Apparently it is! Glad that there are *some* who seem to be OK people.

My favorite fiction is likely Cannery Row by Steinbeck

Not yet sure about a smutty book....

Desolation Angels by Kerouac is the only book I've finished and then immediately commenced re-reading. I LOVE to re-read books, though, including A Prayer for Owen Meany, Cannery Row, even Stephen King books.

[Dayhoosier]

Either
Enders Game by orson Scott card
Or
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

Ohhh but The Book Thief is delightful too

I don't know

 

[Sexy_Singer]

i like the classics. Oliver Twist, Pickwick Papers, Sea Wolf, but lately have been reading biographies.

I don't read smut. At least, nothing at my house. But i've seen a film version of Fingersmith and it was excellent. I imagine the book is better.

That one hurt. I have read most of his works plus Stardust was one of my favorite movies.

Edited to add: Favorite fiction, if I absolutely have to choose, is LOTR because of how foundational it is. It laid the groundwork for RPG like D&D and transformed the future of fantasy.

 

[SherlockianMan]

Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke

Cloud Atlas, David Mitchell

Wolves in sheep's clothing always hurt so much more... except this guy, this guy's cool.
