What's your all-time most fav book?

[redskies]

Probably anything by Terry Pratchett.... although in the last 2 years my daily reading usually includes classics such as "There's a Cow in the Cabbage Patch" and "Moomin's Most Magical Pop Up Book". Sigh.

Can I assume your daily reading is due to a small person? How about adding in Pratchett's 'Where's My Cow?' to the bedtime read?

Yep, and 2 and 8 months small person . Ooh! I hadnt seen that book before. Am so getting that and the poo book! lol

I bought the cow one for my son; he loved it, and so did his wee sister. Funnily enough, now aged 9, he's rattling his way through Pratchett at a great rate of knots and has almost finished reading all of the Discworld books!

Hi,
So many favourite books but one I always recommend to friends is "Blood Meridian" by Cormac Mcarthy. Oh and Pratchetts wee free men books, I know they are marketed at teenagers but they rekindled my love of Pratchett who I thought had gone a bit stale.
Ahh and "Badjelly the witch" by Spike milligan a favourite of mine since I was 5.

Cheers, Trev.

you simply cant beat a bit of Pratchett.

Guards Guards and Maskerade were my favourites for a long time, then as Trev points out, the brilliant wee free men and tiffany books are just great.

another classic is stephen kings- Misery, love that book.

into the wild is a good book on the chap who went alone into Alaska and sadly died after eating the wrong part of a plant, now a film (not bad film) too.

The Hound of the Baskervilles. Reading it at night camping in the middle of Dartmoor adds to the atmosphere of course.

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship,
design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take
orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyse a new problem, pitch manure,
program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, and die gallantly. Specialization is for
insects."

Robert Heinlein

Lord of Light by Roger Zelazny (greatest science fiction book ever written)

Recently, The Name of the Wind (& #2 inna trilogy) by Patrick Rothfuss, very good story telling fable, waiting for #3 now, for those in the know, you don't have to tell me it'll be a long wait
