Re: Favorite novel?
I guess I would be referring to non-fantasy, non-sci-fi novels... because for most of us here, we'd choose LOTR, right? :b
For me... there's a lot. Oliver Twist comes to mind... And Then There Were None... many others... more coming. |

Re: Favorite novel?
Well, I guess you might not be banned if you mention LotR in here
My favorite books ARE sci fi and fantasy, probably, but I guess that'll have to do for now. Besides LotR, I also like the Riftwar Saga, the Heir to the Empire trilogy, and other stuff that I can't recall at the moment. |

Re: Favorite novel?
too difficult topic!!
only a few that come now to my mind: Brideshead Revisited, Evelyn Waugh Crime and punishment, Fedor Dostoievski Il Gattopardo, G.T. di Lampedusa and D. Quijote de la Mancha, Miguel de Cervantes |

Re: Not including LOTR......
If I can´t mention LOTR then my favorite novel is Treasure Island or Crime and Punishment. But if you would ask me tomorrow I´d probably pick another one .

Re: Not including LOTR......
Okay I am going to try this. Now remember I've read a ton of books and I know I will leave out some of my favorites: This is not including LOTR or any plays, or a non-fictious book like The Prince or books on Mythology.
*Gone with the Wind *The Diary of Anne Frank * The Good Earth * Odessa Files * All but My Life * The second half of a Tale of Two Cities * The Good Earth * Joy Luck Club and the Kitchen's Gods wife (both by Amy Tan) * To Kill a Mocking Bird * And Then There Were None/aka Ten Little Indians * Dracula * Pride and Prejudice also Children's Books: * The Cricket in Times Squares * Island of the Blue Dolphins * Tom Sawyer * The Wrinkle in Time Series and I am still reading Luv Always, Gat |

Re: Not including LOTR......
For me... how could I possibly omit...
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass (and what Alice found there)! Oh, and gatito... Joy Luck Club is certainly very good, I must agree with you. |

Besides LOTR, etc., Germinal by Emile Zola and Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert. (Can you tell I studied French lit. at University?)

I forgot about Gone With the Wind in my other favorites post. I like that one too, though I think by the last half of the book that Scarlet badly needed to have some person slap the **** out of her.
I love those Madeleine L'Engle books. |

Re: favorites
Yeah, Animal Farm was very good.
I was terribly disappointed in the movie that was made from it. It was a good idea, and well filmed, but as usual with book-inspired movies, they had to go and make changes that absolutely did not fit and messed it all up. |

Re: Reply
I've got a lot of Gibran on my shelves, too.
Other than LotR, I guess STARSHIP TROOPERS by Robert A. Heinlein is my next favorite, followed by some others of his works. |
