Well, this is the best topic to start off this new forum. What are your favorite books and authors. For me, my favorite book is Catch-22, by Joseph Heller. I've given away many copies just because I feel so strongly about this book. It is funny, witty and dark all at the same time. I find the some of the situations...especially between Major Major and Yossarian to be very relevent to today's issues.

Thankee bopbop for making this topic. This is just right up my alley Favorite Book of All Time: The Little Prince by Antoine St. De Exupery - from where the famous quote come from: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye.

Jaws by Peter Benchly. I read this when i was in the 4th grade cause my friend told me it had a lot of dirty words in it. Well yeah it has a lot of foul language in it but it was still a good book. Thats the first novel i read. Since then Ive read so many and got so many favorites, so i pick my first one as my favorite. lol
