Hard to pick out just one favourite... but if I had to pick one it would be The Bourne Identity. If we can allow comics, then Calvin & Hobbes! Smile

Bourne Identity was one of the first books I read.Robert Ludlum was my favorite author for a long time till I started reading more fact than fiction.His style is impeccable and his speed is heady.You can't keep this one down once you have picked it up.A great choice.

It is getting interesting now.When Dreaming eyes asked about a number of books there were lots of names which were common but when we asked for just one name for an all time favorite the commonality is giving away.

Mine is Jonathan Livingstone Seagull,Richard Bach

Atlas Shrugged is leading.I have'nt read it even after my sister narrated the whole plot and told me what a great read it is.And you know what is my silly excuse - the print is too small and the book is too thick.But even that does'nt hold after Shantaram.

I guess its time for me to head for the bookstore.Cool

My all time favorite is 'Jonathan Livingston Seagull' by Richard Bach.

'Malgudi Days' by R.K. Narayan is a very close second!

Sorry Rajnish, I just could not resist posting two booksSmile

But you made it up by choosing Jonathan Living stone which is my favorite too.

I have posted a video of the film which has music score by Neil diamond a couple of days back.May be you want to check it out.

There is also a book review on which you can possibly comment and share your thoughts.

Cheers ! Have a great day.

Agony and Ecstacy  by Irving Stone

&

The Thorn Bird by Colleen McCullough

There are so many to choose from.. posting the top two.. I love Gerald Durrell and Lawrence and many Latin American Authors, poets.

Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness - one in English

बाणभट्ट की आत्मकथा - हजारी प्रसाद द्विवेदी - one in Hindi

Both above are novels, But I like poetry more than novels. There are so many books of poems I love, that I can not select one as my favourite.

Thanks.

I am a Sci-Fi/Horror fan with Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov and Dean Koontz on top but my fav remains Malgudi Days by R.K. Narayan. And the fact that it was written by a Indian make it all the more special.

My latest blog has a whole reading list from me. But if I have to pick only one book from all of them then it is a tough call. I guess it will be: The Essays of Warren Buffett : Lessons for Corporate America

http://www.amazon.com/Essays-Warren-Buffett-Lessons-Corporate/dp/0966446119

By the way is any body aware of a widet for book list that can be added to the blog.

There are a couple of them - one is called book shelf or something but the problem is that they are not supported by wordpress.If you are on blogger or blogspot you are lucky.
