Greatest books.

Post by RyaNtheSlayA »

What are your favorite books of all time?

For me I would have to go with

1: Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep? (Phillip K. Dick)
2: Timeline (Michael Chrichton)
3: Slaughterhouse Five (Kurt Vonnegut Jr.)
4: The Hobbit (Tolkien)
5: To Kill a Mocking Bird (Harper Lee)
I'm still not sure whether I'm a kid or a squid now.

You know, I hate these threads. I can't make a top anything for me. If anyone asks me what's my favorite X, I can answer with "Uh, I don't know" or "Well, here's this big ass list of Xs I like, in no particular order".
