What is your favorite book ever???
I used to read all the time but i have been really busy with work lately and I want to start reading again. What is your favorite book of all time? Please only write one, I only only want to read the best. These are the kind of books I like to read: History, romance, adventure, mystery (a little)...some of my favorite books are Outlander (and the rest of the series), Lost in the sand, the kite runner, harry potter, narnia, twilight...I really don't like books about drug addictions, and family problems and overcoming them and stuff. Thanks in advance for your input :)
I am almost 19 btw.
I've read pride and prejudice (it was amazing), I have also read parts of the bible, and the 5 people you meet in heaven was really good aswell.
I like classics and books set in the past, such as OUTLANDER which is the best book ever I recomend it to all of you.

Watership Down
~Richard Adams
Takes place in the english country side and the main characters voices are voiced through rabbits. Once you get past talking bunnies you are faced with a book full of dark undertones hinting at The Odyssey, Gender Roles, and even creating a "Hitler-like" Character.
A very good read, its fun and thought provoking, I suggest it to ANYONE!

Well, since you've read Pride and Prejudice already, which is my all time fave...and the Bible............. I suggest you read The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. Your interest in History and adventure will be piqued by this one.
I dont want to spoil you with a summary, but this book is great!!

'A Certain Slant Of Light". it is AMAZING. it has some drugs in it, but that is actually before the book happens, and it doesn't really come up a lot. it has the most complex romance in it, like star crossed lovers almost, but less cliche. waaay less cliche. it's really inticing and dramatic. there is some reference to slight history in it. it basically covers your spectrum in a lot of ways. there are people problems, but they are what makes the book insteresting and so much my amor. i just love that book more than anything. it is also written beautifully and the emotions as so deep.

The Sea of Trolls- Nancy Farmer
AMAZING
In England in the early medieval period, young Jack is chosen by the village's bard to serve as apprentice in award-winning author Nancy Farmer's exciting fantasy (Atheneum, 2004). After the bard is attacked by a Nightmare, Jack develops the ability to feel everything at once, which causes him to be vulnerable to the "Life Force," the power that exists in all things in nature. When they realize that Viking berserkers are coming, Jack and the bard raise fog to hide the village, but Jack and his sister, Lucy, are captured by Ivan One-Brow and his crew and are taken to the court of Ivar the Boneless and his evil half-troll wife, Queen Frith. Jack casts a spell to make the queen's hair fall out. To save his sister from being sacrificed to the Norse goddess Freya, Jack must accept a quest to travel to the icy Troll kingdom to find Mimir's Well, from which he must drink in order to learn the magic spell to replace the Queen's hair. Throughout his journey, Jack must deal with an argumentative Norse Jill, trolls, giant troll bears, a dragon, and giant spiders. As he completes his quest, Jack matures and realizes that all beings have the Life Force within them and must answer to its calling, whether it is Yggdrisil, the giant life tree of the Norse, or the simple need of berserkers to raid and pillage. Farmer weaves the threads of Norse and Celtic mythology into a coming-of-age tale that followers of Tolkien and J.K. Rowling will enjoy.
