What is your all-time favorite book or your most favorites?  Fiction, nonfiction, adult, children, anything.  Just curious.~Heidi~

Don't think I loved one single book but more like favorite authorsas a kid I loved Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales.as a pre-teen Enid Blyton's books were my favorites. as a teen Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew type books.as an adult, I enjoy a lot of different authors  - Robin Cook, Jeffrey Archer, John Grisham, James Patterson, Robert Ludlum, Diana Gabaldon, Nora Roberts.... 

If you go by the number of times I've read it, I'd have to say "Welcome to Temptation" by Jennifer Cruisie.Second would be "A Time to Kill" or "The Firm" by John Grisham.

My all time favorite is Jemima J by Jane Green. I love all of Brit Chick Lit and just really any chick lit...I haven't read one I didn't devour. My favorite books as a child...too many to name but I really liked the Serendipity books. As an older child, I really liked A Wrinkle in Time, CS Lewis' books, and Ramona books.I also love romance novels. I can read one of those in a day. Great for mindless reading.

Can't think of a all time favorite. 

I can't think of any I've read multiple times.

It, by Stephen King. I read it once a year.Kids books, definitely the Trixie Belden series (take that, Nancy Drew!) and I loved Christopher Pike's YA thrillers.Adult books, anything by Elizabeth Peters/Barbara Michaels. Also those kinky Laurel K. Hamilton novels, which assure that my DH gets some action! (I know, TMI!)Also have a thing for books about ghosts, either fiction or nonfiction, and natural disasters.

I've read so many, I can't really pick one all time favorite.  I know over the years, I have reread a couple of Agatha Christie stories.

mine would be either the Devil Wears Prada, cause I have never laughed so much while reading and I couldn't put it down! Or the shopaholic series as they are all about me!

The Chronicles of NarniaThe Stand

My very favorite books are fiction and nonfiction horse stories.  King of the Wind tops the list, although anything by Marguerite Henry is good, then Walter Farley's many novels which includes the entire Black Stallion series, A Horse Called Bonnie series, anything by the author that wrote Monday Morning Horses, the biography on Seabiscuit that the movie was based on, Black Beauty, Hold the Reins Free... really, almost anything about horses. Love some of the classics like Little Women, Jane Eyre, anything by Mark Twain, Gone with the Wind...Jane Auel's Clan of the Cave bear series is awesome, Janet Evanovich's Plum series is hillarious, and I like Sue Grafton's earlier alphabet mysteries (after N, though, they started to feel a little bland, I haven't even read Q yet).Those are just some of the many... I have so many books in storage just waiting for me to live in a house big enough to bring them all back.

I read 3-4 books a week....and my all time favorites are:Atlas Shrugged by Ayn RandThe Stand by Stephen KingLove all the Janet Evanovich, J.D. Robb...and many others.

Midge, I loved Jemima J too - it started my love of Brit Chick Lit!  LOVE Sophie Kinsella's stuff too.I don't think I can name an all-time favorite book.  I love them all.  LOL! The Harry Potter series is up there though.  So is the Shopaholic series.  The Heather Wells series by Meg Cabot is really good too.Then there are others I love that I think I am the only one who has ever read!  Arena by Karen Hancock is an example.  It is a Christian Sci-fi novel!  I didn't even know that was a genre!
