re: Best book of all time. GOAT BOOK?

To Kill a Mockingbird
Confederacy of Dunces
Brave New World
One Hundred Years of Solitude

Doesn't it end with the words "pony boy"?

I didn't get The Catcher in the Rye at all. What did you like about it, just curious.

I identified with it as an angsty 14 year old. If I were to read it today, my eyes would roll out of the back of my head.

I don't think goat book is even a possible discussion. There's too many and too much.

Some of my favorites:

Comedy- Confederacy of Dunces
Horror- Salem's Lot
Fantasy- The Hobbit
Children's- The Giving Tree
Children's novel - Redwall
Influential- The Bible
Sci-Fi- Hitchhiker's Guide
Revenge- Count of Monte Cristo
Political- Animal Farm

Of those. Salem's Lot, Hitchhiker's Guide, Animal Farm and Count of Monte Cristo are top four favorite and most reread.

Other greats:

Dante's Inferno
Lord of the Flies
Ender's Game
To Kill A Mockingbird

I'm not counting Shakespeare as books, but Romeo and Juliett, Hamlet, and Macbeth are three of the most influential works ever written

The Sun Also Rises
To Kill a Mockingbird
Huck Finn
Lord of the Flies
Hamlet

Hard to pick one, but my favorites are Where the Red Fern Grows, The Outsiders, Prince of Tides, A Tale of Two Cities, Catcher in the Rye, and A Confederacy of Dunces. Recently, I read Unbroken, which was also excellent.

As a kid, I loved The Hardy Boy series and any of Roald Dahl's novels.

I think most would agree, Blood Meridian.

Goosebumps, I read a ton of them shits



Also, second Where the Red Fern Grows.


I don't read books

Loved that book as a kid. My son found my old dog-eared, yellowed-with-age copy a few years ago and cried like a baby when the dogs died.
