I absolutely love crime fiction, one of my favourites is Patricia Cornwell.
I would love to be able to stock up on some more interesting, thrilling and relaxing reads to keep me entertained over the Christmas season, rather than all that trashy TV!!!

I think my favourite book is Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens - it comares life in London with that of Paris in the time of the French Revolution. It is also an unrequited love story and tells of the seeedier life of London's underworld.

The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon is an absolutely fabulous book with a gripping plot with wonderful characters. Once you start to read this book you will not want to put it down. It will make you laugh out loud and cry in places, this is one of the best books I have ever read. It is beautifully written and made me fall in love with reading once again with the same depth of appreciation that I had not felt since I read Charlotte's Web as a young girl.

The Horse's Mouth by Joyce Carey - This is a terrific tale of an artist at work, and is unusual in that Gulley Jimson goes into great detail about the creative process that inspires him. His descriptions of London are wonderful, and his story is funny, sad, and never dull - it races along, and the unpredictable twists and turns are always entertaining. Love this book so much.

My favourite Book is the worlds best seller, The Bible. People feel like they have read it but haven't. So why not give it a try and read it today.

My favourite Book is the worlds best seller, The Bible. Most people feel like they have read it but really haven't taken the time. Every time you read it, you will find something different. So why not give it a try today.

I have so many favourites I couldn't list them all. I;m a massive Terry Pratchett fan but the one I read recently, which was part of the World Book Night 2015 series and would appeal to lots more people, is "Custard Tarts & Broken Hearts" by Mary Gibson (1st novel) and cannot wait to read 2nd book ('Jam & Roses').

Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall got me back into reading fiction after a break of many years.
It's like opening a window and peeping in at these people - Henry, Cromwell, Cranmer, Anne, Mary, all people I've known as a famous portrait or a couple of simple facts (fat, crafty, religious, beheaded). Suddenly they come to life, I can almost smell them!
An intoxicating novel, very addictive.

A Christmas Carol.
A story that teaches so many valuable lessons and insights to young and old alike.
Definitely not just a book for Christmas!

my fav was gone with the wind my mom said if you are going to start reading books try a good book first it was about 2.000 pages but l got through it at age 13 and it started me to love books l could read a book a day if it was good love danille steel

Mine at the moment is Sepulchre by Kate Mosse,I have read it 3 times now,it has a combination of fantasy, action and more importantly history, she is a great author.

I don't have a favourite book! I have been reading since I was 3 1/2 years old & I'm now in my 80's. I've read so many books that I've loved. Daphne du Maurier, John Grisham,Jeffry Archer. Poetry , Wordworth & Tennyson, always worth re-reading. T.S Elliot "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats" "The Snow Goose". The latter few I re-read, but not the novels.My taste is eclectic.

One of my favourite books is The Professor's House by Willa Cather. It begins in 'civilisation', a university town but changes to a wonderful description of the landscape of south western America, and the civilisation of the indigenous Indian people on the top of their mesas.

My favourite book is generally the last one I read. I have several favourite authors, and favourite series.

If I have to choose I think I'd say Cross Stitch (and the series) by Diana Gabaldon. Hmmmm, or A Discovery of Witches (and the trilogy) by Deborah Harkness.

Career of Evil, kept me guessing till the last

Gone to Earth by Mary Webb. Always makes me cry - the language, the feeling, the evocation of the Shropshire countryside of my childhood.

It has to be Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen, I retread it every year.

I've read 3 of Paul O'Grady's autobiographical series, a fascinating story and an extremely evocative social history of Britain. Looking forward to the next one.

woman of substance, is my total favourite book of all time, and i re-read all of them, it screams courage and working hard you can achieve anything

I loved Anne of Green Gables when I was a lot younger and still like to read it occasionally but in the last year have read I am Pilgrim which is a very good read and worrying.

Fitting that into 140 characters was a bit of a challenge!

I love 'Mrs P's Journey by S Hartley. Creator of the A-Z, entrepreneur & self-made millionaire, this story tells Phyllis Pearsall's tale with magic, flair & hilarity.

I adored the way The Book Thief was written - narrated by death theres no happy ending but death was such a gentle character who came when it was a souls time to be released.

My favourite book is 'The Return' by Victoria Hislop a wonderful historical romance but one which taught me a lot about life in Spain during the Civil War and the difficult times the people had to endure there.

I never tire of Hardy's Far from the Madding Crowd.
Beautifully written it has everything- romance,despair,passion,madness,death and happiness.
