I recently asked my Twitter community to share their favorite book of all time and why. Here is a list of the first ten I recieved. Please respond with your favorite book and comments! If you are looking for a good book try these:
1. michaelreuter says: JR, by William Gaddis. hundreds of pages with direct discourse only. challenging, but worth it.
2. hoonpark says: Rich Dad, Poor Dad, even though I agree with very little of what Kiyosaki says. Very inspirational in how I think about money.
3. leeg says: Snow Crash I think....it's a tough call. I was just overawed in wow land from page 1.
4. mlgodwin says: The Collected Works of Shakespeare ... a lifetime of things to think about - all between a front and back cover!
5. MellowDrama says: best book was Laughter In The Dark..Vladimir Nabolkov. He is a wonderful writer...the book is sardonic and so different. Love it.
6. NicholasLowe says: Crime and Punishment, hands down. One is always his own worst enemy.
7. becausemarie says: smack, by melvin burgess. character development, plot, emotional reaction. also everything by jonathan safran foer.
8. rossdrakes says: catch 22 by Joseph Heller... it is sideways, upside down and yet it makes so much sense
9. Armageddontime says: Sorry, but what about four: The Hive (Camilo Jose Cela), Dispatches (Michael Herr), Heart of Darkness, Waiting for the Barbarians
10.junderwood says: I have a hard time picking favs, but the top: His Dark Materials, Memoirs of a Geisha & The Rabbit Factory (prob my fav)...
AWESOME! Think I will be heading to the bookstore this weekend. ;)
