I have read far too many books on far too many subjects to be able to name just one favourite. At the moment I am rereading The Potatoe Factory by Bryce Courtney and am enjoying it more than the first time. Kaye (Sydney) |

I read voraciously so this is very hard - after a long think, during which I discarded probably hundreds, it's got to be Winnie the Pooh! xx Annie |

On the Beach - Neville Shute. Woman In Black - Susan Hill. A good ghost story that I have read several times over the years. Maxine |

All Quiet on the Western Front- so sad and harrowing in places, but you somehow can't put it down once you start to read- even when the tears start rolling!!! |

It's impossible to choose just one. I would endorse many of the above-mentioned books, including All Quiet on the Western Front, which I am reading now. A good companion to that would be Vera Brittain's Testament of Youth, about the same war, but by a woman on the home front. I cried buckets. As it hasn't yet been mentioned, JANE EYRE. A very modern novel for its time, about an independent woman who finds love but on her terms, after a miserable childhood. nell |

A few of my favourites are Vanity Fair, Candide, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and the books by Paul Harding (aka Paul Doherty) with Brother Athelstan (The Sorrowful Mysteries etc). Lx ps I couldn't just choose one - sorry! |
