If I had to keep only one: Alice in Wonderland, from Lewis Carroll. Because it's a book triggering the reader's imagination and it's based on algebra.

Just So Stories. Rudyard Kipling. especially 'The Butterfly that Stamped'.
Sendak's Where the wild things are, and as i am a picture book person, my favourite author/illustrator alive today is Shaun Tan - mysterious, whimsical - try The Lost Thing or The Rabbits or even his new one The Cicada.
I wanted to pinpoint how revealing happen to be our readings. As a matter of a fact, it's compiling all the books cited in Topography and General History of Algiers I found out the true identity of the author: Antonio Manutius. Miguel de Cervantes, his slave, just straight out the text.
Ramayana (/rɑːˈmɑːjənə/;[1] Sanskrit: रामायणम्, Rāmāyaṇam [rɑːˈmɑːjəɳəm]) by Goswami Tulasidas is an ancient Indian epic poem which narrates the struggle of the divine prince Rama to rescue his wife Sita from the demon king Ravana.
Divine books are not a subject of favorability, of course they are top favorable for all. I suggest to exclude divine books in answers.
Well even the Bible isn't my favourite, despite it's beautiful English in parts (the King James version i'm talking about). But certainly not a top favourite now.
Hasht Ketab by Sohrab Sepehri the modern Persian poet.
just have a look at these magic lines:
Past the border of my dream The shadow of a morning glory Had darkened all these ruins What intrepid wind Transported the morning glory seed to the land of my Nod? ...
1) The Stranger by Albert Camus
2) The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger
3) The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde
4) The Fall by Albert Camus
I enjoy reading poem of Romantic age. That takes us to a world of fantasy to forget the stress of modern days and leads us to a thought process of fact filled with emotions.
my favourite books are Fiction, Russian fiction and also the American ones. I also like the writings of contemporary Indian Writers like Amish Tripathi, Ashwin Sanghi, Arvind Adiga and Chetan Bhagath. M.Scott Momaday, Orhan pamuk, JM Coetzee are also my favourite writers. If you want only one book it is One Hundred Years Of Solitude.
Very hard to answer but I'd have to say The Odyssey. It's great poetry and it foreshadows the modern novel.
I prefer Durgasapsati which is a religious book and the book is full of motivation for struggle
My favorite books: "Love in the Time of Cholera" by Gabriela Garsia Marchez and "The Art of Conversation" by Ileana Vulpescu.
The Dictionnary of Khazars, from Mirolad Pavic. An amazing book the author recommend to begin wherever "even at the beginning"; and I tried it: it works. At times, I just let the book opens where he wants. Pavic also suggests lector they should write their own book in The Dictionnary of Khazars, that contains the Christian book, the Arab book and the Jewish book. Sometimes I have the sensation I'm writing the Algerian book in The Dictionnary of Khazars. And I would like to meet somebody with a male exemplary because I only have the female Dictionnary of Khazars(in French).
Jonathan Livingston Seagull : A story by Richard Bach is one of the books I liked.
1."The Magic Mountain", by Thomas Mann.
2. "The sound and the fury", by William Faulkner
3. "Fictions", by Jorge Luis Borges
4. "Nadie nada nunca", by Juan José Saer
Perhaps The Last Battle by C.S. Lewis or Orthodoxy by G.K.Chesteron
The best title for me is the diary of Henri-Frederic Amiel, Swiss diarist of the second half of the 19 century. In 12 volumes and 17000 pages (in french), the reader can discover the everyday life of a man during 40 years.
My favourite writer and world builder is J. R. R. Tolkien; other than him, I prefer Gothic Literature.
Personally the Road by Cormac McCarthy is one of my favourite books I have read.
Science Fiction = Jurassic Kingdom by Michael Crichton
Thriller = Personal by Lee Child
Children Books = The African Child by Camara Laye
Inspirational = The Holy Qur'an
My favorite book is Tess of the D' Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy.
any book by Haruki Murakami; the Nobel prize for literature is long overdue
William Wordsworth's poems and in fact love to read the poems of all Romantic poets. My own compositions are also mostly glorifying nature.
The pre-Dune trilogy, a canvas of characters and an incredible look at the possibilities of our distant possibilities.
A long list consist of books that I read to the end. The short list is the books I re-read. In the short list are of about 10 books, I will not load everybody by these titles.
Dear Stephen, I'm sure I don't live up any high expectations. It's enough for me if I sometimes read an older text and think it looks familiar to me - and then discover that I once wrote it myself, but of course I wouldn't write it like that today.
One book from recent years that really impressed me was "Stoner" by John Williams, because I discovered so many similarities, I experienced myself much of what is described there in university life.
all the best, Hein
