As of right now, what is your favorite book?

What about when you were 15?

Me:

Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy

&

Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut

I'm glad everyone is finally getting on board with Blood Meridian. That book is epic. Have you read Child Of God yet?

[smashbot]

I haven't. I will put it on my list for winter break.

PS- You never answered the question.

Now-The Minotaur Takes A Cigarette Break

14 years ago-Dune or 1984

[smashbot]

Tell me about The Dispossessed.

I have never read an Anne Rice novel.

Right now: The Sun Also Rises by Hemingway

When I was 15: The Sun Also Rises by Hemingway

I'm strangely consistent with favorites

[smashbot]

Do you go back and re-read it every couple of years?

[vegetableloaf]

Yeah...It always seems strangely relevant to my life each time I read it as well.

[smashbot]

I went back and re-read Breakfast of Champions last year and really found it to be lacking. On the other hand, I got a lot more out of Slaughter-House Five when I read it again last year than I did when I read it in high school.

Right now probably Brother Karamazov by Dostoevsky.

When I was 15, probably the Silmarillion by Tolkien.
