Favourite novel ever?

What is your favourite piece of literature?

Favourite novel? omg... um, loads. One that I have just finished... Angels&Demons D: I don't know I'd need time to think.

I didn't mean to write novel; just literary writing in general. My favourite has to be George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four. Ever since I've read it I see references popping up everywhere and it taught me where the name Big Brother came from, haha.

Ye that's a really good book. The Third Man by Graham Greene is really good if you get a chance to read it, not a long novel but good nonetheless.

Eden: It's an Endless World! if you want to count that. It may be a graphic novel, but the writing is superb. The story is greatly based on Gnostic mythology, and although it is a science fiction piece set in the near future, it is incredibly realistic and in my opinion not at all fictional. I can imagine the events told in Eden actually happening. I consider it a work of art, and one of the best written books I have ever come across.

I haven't read a novel in a long while, but a book that left quite a big impression on me was The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. I read it about five years ago now, but I still remember how amazing it was. I couldn't put it down. Definitely recommended.

My other favourites are: Tess of the d'Ubervilles, The Collector, A Clockwork Orange and Brave New World. I like novels portraying a dystopia.

Very cliché Harry Potter. I've read that book too Neversoft about the autistic boy trying to solve the murder of the dog. I agree with you, it was better than it sounds!

Erm... I generally like murder mysteries, preferably the cop ones than the forensic one but I've never been bothered. If it has a good first page, I'm likely to read it

I really disliked Nineteen Eighty-Four when I read it, I don't think the book itself was great maybe just the idea behind it. My favourite has to be anything by Stephen King, The Running Man and Pet Sematary.

Yeah, I've read that too. Like Neversoft, it was ages ago. I vaguely remember him finding out his Dad killed a dog, or something like that, lol.

@ jess; We read it for our AS literature course. Interestingly, none of the girls liked it much, not as much as the boys anyway. I just think it's a brilliant piece of writing and very intelligently written by Orwell.

That's a hard one! I do like russian literature in particular Dostoevsky.
His 'Crime and Punishment' is a masterpiece. On the lighter side I like Fay Weldon.
Her books are always meaty with some nice sarcastic humour.
