My husband would second the pick of Jurassic Park by Michael Creighton. If I had to try to narrow down a top favorite, I would cheat and name both Watership Down by Richard Adams and The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak, in no particular order (neither chosen in the poll). MWB, sigh… This is one of the extremely rare, the “movie was better.” 99.9% of the time I am a “the book was better” girl… but The Princess Bride movie is perfection, but the book was just fine… 🙂 Top Book Selections NI means I have heard of it, but am not interested in reading it, probably due to it not being one of my preferred genres. I means I do not own it yet, but am interested in reading it at some point. NO designates “no opinion” as I have either not heard of it before, or simply do not personally have a strong opinion on reading it or not.

O means I own the book, but have not yet read it, but intend to. R is a book I have read, DNF is for books I started to read but did not (and will not) finish. RR is for books I have read and would recommend. RF is a book I have read, and consider one of my many favorites. I also added a personal rating for the books that I have read and liked. This is in no way the end all, be all FAVORITE BOOKS EVER list, but perhaps you may find some interesting titles to add to your TBR stack. I have consolidated all of the duplicate answers and then divided them up by the most popular author across all selections. And we did have a few people list more than one book, which we allowed in the results parsing below. Some form of “I can’t pick one!” was selected 12 times. But this was just for fun and I wanted to share the answers with you for your reading pleasure. Of course, it can be difficult to narrow down one specific favorite. Last week, I posed the question “What is your favorite book?” as one of the entries for the Week 4 Anniversary Contest. What is Your Favorite Book? August 29, 2022
