My all-time favourite must be : The Diary of a Nobody by George & Weedon Grossmith. Just love it.

My answer would have to be 'no' !
A recent 'at one sitting' book was most enjoyable - 'The Boy in the Striped pyjamas' An easy but thought provoking read by John Boyne.

Oh easy!
Gone With The Wind - a stonking read and sooooo much better than the film.
or
Pride and Predj. for her characters, to think she could so kick the traces of how a woman MUST think and feel at those times cos that is what the men and society tell them!
or
Jane Eyre for Rochester! What a hero!
or
War and Peace. Skip the philosiphising and get on with a really good story.
or HMS Ulysses - Neville Shute.
or
The Phantom Tollbooth
or The Boy Next Door - Enid Blyton.
Oh! How many did you say?

My favourite book is Great Expectations by some Dickens chap. I don't know how many times I have read it but I relish the experience every time. What larks Pip! That is not my favourite but it is one of them. I tend to say 'what larks Pip' at any opportunity and my daughter calls me the Aged P!!

A few people share my choice of favourite... To Kill A Mockingbird The bit where Boo Radley steps out from behind the door and Scout simply says ,'Hey Boo' gives me goosebumps every time. When I first read it my English teacher at the time was from Arkansas so he had a lot of fascinating insights into southern life. Oh yes, that too !
