I always suspect that people who quote things like 'Catcher in the Rye' and 'To Kill a Mocking Bird' etc. as their favourite book are not really recreational readers. These are simply books that they were made to read at school.
It's almost impossible to pick a favorite book, I love Stephen Kings The Stand and Philip Pullmans His Dark Materials trilogy.......oh and Harry Potter!!!
Catcher in the rye is pish, incredibly boring non-story. To Kill a Mockingbird is actually quite good, very slow but at least it's got a plot!
Had to read 'To Kill a Mocking Bird' at school and didn't rate it at all. I didn't read 'Catcher in the Rye' till I was in my late 20s and didn't see what all the fuss was about. Given that it's mainly about adolescent angst/alienation, it could be that you have to read it during adolescence to really appreciate it.

You must be ****ing joking? I will never ever read a bajillion book series like the Wheel of Time when it's obvious the author was milking it for every penny rather than just getting the story told...and then what does the ****er do? He goes and dies before it's finished and leaves somebody else to do the hard part, actually writing a conclusion. George RR Martin is heading in exactly the same direction.
I agree, To Kill a Mockingbird is a great book it taught me a lot. I am not remotely prejudiced about anything. Well, apart from gypo's. I still ****ing hate gypo's. Fear and Loathing is also top notch.

I'm reading Philip K. Dicks Ubik just now and that book is a serious skull ****, loads of weird **** happening and I haven't a clue whats going on half the time but I'm actually still really enjoying it.
