If you had to pick one favourite book...

[Novella]

What would it be?

Im currently making a list of books to read on good reads and I want to broaden my selection as I have been stuck in a rut reading a very similar genre for a long time.

So please hit me with your best books and help me get out of my reading rut with some fantastic books to read during our middle of the night breast feeding sessions

Oooh great thread!!

My all time favourite book is Anne Frank's Diary. I have read it more times than I can count!

[Miss.September]

Cloudstreet by Tim Winton. Adore it.

I think you're a bit mean saying we can only pick one

[indie24]

Aurion by Maggie Furey

[LuluHB]

That's so tough to narrow it down to one but probably The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende

[Phteven]

If I can only pick one it's going to be a long one. War and Peace.

The L-Shaped Room by Lynne Reid-Banks

[Jellyfish]

1984

[nothing2lose]

One of my all time faves - Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck

[RockingBaker]

The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons

[Catastrophic]

The balloon tree. Favorite of mine since a little girl...

But grown up one - the trilogy of a boy called it, a man name Dave (and one other one)

Sararose - does reading in the middle of the night keep you awake longer after the feed is done? It would wake me up!!
I feed lying down

I am reading non-fiction, "last child in the woods". Not really into fiction books yet but want to one day.

LOVE this thread - but sooo not ready to narrow it down to a single book. Need to contemplate before answering.

I did however want to give a plug for some in-the-middle-of-the-night-book-reading aids: get yourself a clip on book light and (best one of all) a book beanbag. It's like a pyramid-shaped pillow with a ledge and a thing that holds your book open so you can read hands free! (I sooooo needed one of these when I was bfing). It's squishy too so you can adapt it if you're lying down reading.

Ooooh books. I have so many favorites but my current is Rosamund Lupton's. She only has 2. One is 'Sister' and the other is 'Afterwards'.

It would have to be Angela's ashes by Frank McCourt.

[Cherished]

The balloon tree. Favorite of mine since a little girl...

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Balloon Tree!!!! Was my fav as a little girl also

Journey Of Souls by Michael Newton - A must read for every soul on Earth

[~Hestia~]

I loved April Fools Day by Bryce Courtenay, it's about his son.

[~me~]

Tough to narrow it down to just one...in the last few months my all time favourite has been When God Was A Rabbit by Sarah Winman, beautiful book, a bit like Cloud Street another excellent book
