If you had to choose one, and only one book that is most dearest to you for some reason, which book is it, and why?

It's really hard to choose from all the books I've read, but I think that the only book what I would read in every mood is HP and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

I would have to say "To Kill a Mockingbird" because it is so poignant and I love the message it sends out.

I would have to pick One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. It has had the longest and strongest impact on me out of all the books that I have read.

My all time favorite books are Harry Potters and the best of them is HP 6.

(just asking, how come some threads have a smiley face on them?)
The Harry Potter books are ones I can always come back to and never get sick of, but I really love Anna Karenina.

You can add a smiley when you start a new thread (it's somewhere near the title). That's a hard one.. there are some books which are very dear to me, like jobean I loved Anna Karenina, also 1984, Romeo & Juliet, P&P and Les Miserables. I can't choose one, they're all my all time favorite, and also my all time favorite contemporary would have to be Bridget Jones's Diary, I know it's a total cliche, but I can' t help it, it's brilliant

It's very difficult to choose just one! Probably The razor's edge...

I love Pride and Prejudice, but I also love Optimist's daughter by Eudora Welty and of course HP books.. It's so difficult to decide!

So far I'd have to say The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger.
I read the novel during my adolescent years, so that always had an impact, but what I really like about this novel is that it has so many layers yet what you get out of the book varies so much on how you look at it. I mean, at worst it's a scatter of random incidents by a whiny narrator, but at best, the individual parts of the novel are so symbolic and well-placed, and of course, almost every teenager has a little Holden Caulfield in him/her. Salinger hit the teenage voice right on.
