How many times have you been asked that question? Honestly, try to count it - I can't! People ask this all the time. When they meet you, if they see you reading, if books are mentioned, if they feel like it, if they're getting to know you...it's a question we're all asked at some point, and one which is worth having a good, solid answer to. The worst response is 'I don't know' or 'Oh, there's too many to pick from!' This is a serious question which requires a serious answer. OK, I have to admit, sometimes I am one of those really annoying, 'I don't know,' sort of people, but that's only because it's really hard explaining to a stranger that the Hobbit would be mine, but then Hornblower would feel left out, but then This Thing of Darkness and The Name of This Book is Secret are both so good, and what about Around the World in Eighty Days, or The Count of Monte Cristo, or To Kill a Mockingbird?
Choosing your favourite book it hard. Some days it changes. Sometimes you say one book, and then a completely different one when your asked next. Sometimes you just say a random book because you hadn't thought about it or the question caught you off guard. But your favourite book tells you so much about your own interests, reading levels and personality, and it can be really nice to find one and be proud of what it is. This is why I'd like it if you could comment on this blog about what your favourite book is and why. It doesn't have to be long and it can be literally any book you like - from Winne-the-Pooh to Charles Dickens to a non-fiction book all about the Solar System. Anything you like. Anything you enjoy. Anything you'd be happy to go back and read time and time again. Please do comment - I'd really love to hear what your favourite books are, as it is the ultimate question for readers, and it really is a fun one to answer. Even just the title and author with one sentence about it would be perfectly fine! Let's see how many of us can take the plunge and decide once and for all what our favourite book really is.
