Impossible! <br /><br />But it does give me the chance to advocate for <i>The Sun Also Rises</i>. I like it because it is both well-crafted (not a word out of place) and filled with layers and subtleties that make reading it a rich experience every time. It's a writerly book that addresses the big themes and rewards the time spent with it. So . . . definitely <i>one</i> of my favorites.J.G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02806805528636359436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181364634779383173.post-12749418656825928542012-02-03T01:58:58.477-08:002012-02-03T01:58:58.477-08:00That "comfort list" is a great way of de...That "comfort list" is a great way of defining favourite novels isn't it. Almost all of Mercedes Lackey's books are on that list for me. <br /><br />I loved the Harper Hall trilogy this last time I read it too. I could see it making it's way onto my list in the future.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting, Anassa.Elenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08961035078725474747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181364634779383173.post-89166114129796754832012-02-03T01:49:05.718-08:002012-02-03T01:49:05.718-08:00I don't have a favourite book.

Nothing I've read makes me think "best book ever!" and even in the books really like, recommend at work, reread every couple years, I can find flaws and failings, so I can't even define "favourite" as "perfect". But the ones I reread probably get closest so:<br /><br />-The Harper Hall trilogy, by Anne McCaffrey<br /><br />-The Hunter's Moon, by O.R. Melling<br /><br />-Komarr and A Civil Campaign, by Lois McMaster Bujold (I have an omnibus)<br /><br />-Hogfather, by Terry Pratchett<br /><br />-Good Omens, by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman<br /><br />These are books that always give me something new, or always make me laugh, or hit just the right emotional notes repeatedly. Frequently they do all three. And they're largely my "comfort reading" list, so there's that, too. :)Anassahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11554524219883438465noreply@blogger.com
