ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI like Nine Stories by JD Salinger as well. Then it's the Shipping News by Annie Proulx and any book by Louis Begley.
my favourite book often reflects the last interesting - interesting as in turn-your-world-upside-down - book that i have read. of course, i have my all time favourite list, but my favourite book of the moment is roberto bolano's '2666'. this book, published post-humously, redefines the novel. a long, but worthwhile read.
ReplyDeletep.s. i just moved to göteborg and am hunting out all of your recommendations. tak.
Milan Kundera's The Unbearable Lightness of Being.
ReplyDeleteOr Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights, depending on my mood.
My very favourite book is The Curios Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon. It is one of the first books I've read in English. And I bought it without any recommendations, just wanted to buy something in English and found a book that looked nice and I thought it could have been interesting. And it was! It's about autistic boy and it's really lovely.
ReplyDeleteOh those are lovely! I want ;)
ReplyDeleteFavorite Books(s): "The Namesake" by Jhumpa Lahiri (all her writing is great). Also anything by Edith Wharton (especially when she writes about New York society). "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert is a very good read (in many ways a feminist manifesto, that's why man like to complain about this book) her newst book "Commited" is good too.
I also love Adam Gopnick"s "Through The Children's Gate" And "From Paris to the Moon".
And my favorite novella is Theodor Sturm's "Der Schimmelreiter" (Sorry, not clear what the title of this book is in English).
Oh and of course Isak Dinesen/Karen Blixen's "Out of Africa".
The Hardboiled Wonderland at the Edge of the Universe by Haruki Murakami. What a wonderful book!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book would have to be "The Time Traveler's Wife" by Audrey Niffenegger. I could read it over and over and still find it interesting.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!

ReplyDeleteLove the wrist worms! My fingers are crossed...
heather@dahlhausart.com
Some lovely picks on here! It's too hard to just pick one, but books I've liked recently include "Slow Man" (Coetzee), the novels of Javier Marias, "The Lost Books of the Odyssey" (by Zach Mason - great stories to read to your honey in bed before drifting off to sleep)...
ReplyDeleteI am not a big reader (perhaps a novel a year? Some people think this makes me a heathen of some kind)
ReplyDeleteHowever I like to think the books I finish are therefore well worth reading.
One of my favourites is Germinal by Emile Zola. An unpretentious epic, so evocative and page-turning and absorbing, you feel shock and injustice, wonder and despair, it's wonderful. Not a word wasted... that's how I like'em.
I will try and read some of the other picks here!
"Dandelion wine" by Ray Bradbury
ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway !

ReplyDeleteA book about nests and hidingplaces, poetry, thoughts, space, places, homes, even homework.
Love love this book.
Well, i don't have a list of favourite books, as there're too many that are worth reading but if i have to choose for the one book that shook my understandings of life and society as all, this should be - "Overburdened with Evil" by Arkady & Boris Strugatsky
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite books is "A Confederacy of Dunces" by John Kennedy Toole. The story is set in New Orleans in the early 1960s. The central character is Ignatius still living with his mother at age 30. He must set out to get a job. In his quest for employment he has various adventures with colorful French Quarter characters. -> Very funny!

ReplyDeleteHey, I just finished watching the movie that brought me far away from my self and- at the very same time- very close to.

The current book I am (slowly) getting through is Salinger's Franny and Zooey. I remember so clearly reading this book for the first time as a teenager and feeling really warm and at home in its melancholy yet erudite and cosmopolitan world. I love, love, love it.
ReplyDeletehmm... there are so many books i really like.
ReplyDeletei recently read
"looking for alaska" by john green which i really liked.

my favorite book of all time is moominpappa's memoirs by my big idol tove jansson. i'm currently reading it out loud to my husband bit by bit every evening. it's my bible.
ReplyDeleteThere are fortunately too many brilliant books out there to name the one and only. But as the colder times of the year are approaching I fondly think of "Snow falling on Cedars" by David Guterson, which convinced me to give crime stories a chance - not for the worse ...
ReplyDeletei have so many favourite books that i find it difficult to say exactly one is my favourite. however, some of my favourites are a wolf at the table by augusten burroughs - in fact, pretty much anything written by augusten burroughs is a bit of a revelation in my opinion. i also loved the book thief by markus zusak, shantaram by gregory david roberts and one of my all time favourites is to kill a mockingbird by harper lee. i hope you find lots of great books to read over the swedish winter and i am keeping everything crossed that i win those delightful wrist worms!

ReplyDeleteOne of my favourites is Atonement, by Ian McEwan. And I re-read Pride and Prejudice just about every year, just because.
ReplyDeleteHello Sandra, you did put us in acction with your nice giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog and your work. To be honest I was just to afford myself one of your wrist worms, but I would try my luck first ;)
My two favorites are: Murakami's Sputnik Sweetheart and Hosseini's The Kite Runner (last one was adapted into a film of the same name, that's great too).
Have a nice time and a lot of fun reading ...
Hello!
ReplyDeletemm...one of my favourite books is "The Enchanted April" from Elizabeth von Arnim! :D

I love "Ensemble, c'est tou/Hunting and Gathering/Tillsammans är man mindre ensam" by Anna Gavalda. She is an amazing writer, and I don't care if people say it's predictable.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I can pick an alltime favourite book, but one I read and loved lately is Philip Larkin's A Girl in Winter. Such a shame he only wrote two novels..
ReplyDeleteI enjoy books by John Buchan, PG Wodehouse, Margery Allingham, and Dr Seuss!
ReplyDeleteThey're lovely Wrist Worms.
norwegian wood, by haruki murakami!
ReplyDeleteOne of my very old favorites, one that I read as a small child, is Good night Mr. Tom.

'The nose', Nikolai Gogol, 'Foam of daze', Boris Vian...
The Way Through Doors by Jesse Ball
ReplyDeleteA very inventive novel.
My perennial favorites are "Welcome to the Monkey House" by Kurt Vonnegut (a short story collection) and "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury. I also love "The Shadow of the Wind" - it's an amazing novel.
ReplyDeleteThe Soloist by Steve Lopez.
ReplyDeleteA true story written by a columnist. Makes you cry, laugh, and aware.
I want the wrist worm for the cold weather!
My book recommendation is:
ReplyDeleteNorwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami. It's one of my favorites, and you should read it now before the movie comes out!
So many great book suggestions!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorites is The Moonlit Cage - Linda Holeman. Cat's Eye by Margaret Atwood is another top-notch read.
Wrist worms are a great giveaway for readers - you can keep cozy while you stay up all night turning the pages of a great book.

the english american by alison larkin
ReplyDeleteHi Sandra,
ReplyDeleteI must admit I just bought a pair of wrist worms, but you can never have too many, right?
One of my favorite books is called "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak. In the US it's listed as young adult, but it's an amazing read for all ages. It' set in Austria during WWII, narrated by Death, but it's really about love and ties between people who have difficulty expressing it. Inspiring and moving.
