I'll start with 1984.

It gelled everything I suspected into a succinct tome.:thumbsup:

Actually it probably isn't anymore but I have been saying that it is for years now and see no reason to stop. Its a great book.

-- a novel of the year or so prior to the 1916 Easter Rebellion in Dublin.

And a love story that will knock your socks off.

I printed out and bound a copy for my own reading a few weeks ago - I used to read it every summer throughout HS and college.

...must ....stop...hands.. off..... keyboard.... now!

By Christopher Moore. So funny and thought provoking.


Have you ever wondered what happened to Christ in all those years between his infancy and his last three years? Cause the bible doesn't really talk about them.

Well this is a fictional story of how Jesus realizes that he is the savior...goes on a long quest with his best buddy, Biff...and realizes his destiny after many years of spent finding the 3 wisemen.

And it's not what you think. Biff is an Eddy Haskell. Since Jesus can't lie...Biff does it for him. Since Jesus decides he must be celebate but believes that he must know so that he can become a wiseman...he experiences sex through Biff. Whenever Biff gets an STD...Jesus just cures him. Because JC is so naive about how people can be...Biff uses his street smarts to get them out of tough situations.

Funny, funny, funny. And some great lessons for the WWJD crowd. The story about what it REALLY takes to love everyone.

really

and then 1984

But I can't pick just one. There are four books I read on average of once a year - The Odyssey is one of them. The others are -

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn - Mark Twain

The Lord of the Rings - JRR Tolkien

American Gods - Neil Gaiman

Though Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett really belongs on the list as well.

How can anyone pick just ONE book?

I don't mind people posting more than 1 favorite. Go ahead.

1984 has a special place in my heart right now, because I feel like we're at the beginnings of fascism, and the book makes me determined not to let us go in full-force.
