Top 3

Prompted by a discussion introduced by Wanyas on Sunday, i present to you this question. What are your 3 favorite books? Books meaning fictional prose. Not the 3 that you think are well written and are outstanding pieces of literature, but the 3 that you loved reading the most. And perhaps even love re-reading. I mean, ofc, if your top 3 happen to also be fantastic pieces of literature, sure, but that isn't one of the criteria. It could even be some book you read as a child that you just love.

I had some trouble coming up with my 3. And i'm not really sure about the third one either. But as of right now, i think my list goes like this:

1. Stranger in a Strange Land, Robert Heinlein
2. Pride & Prejudice, Jane Austen
3. A Prayer for Owen Meany, John Irving

While i loved A Prayer for Owen Meany, it was so sad that i'm not sure if i'd want to read it again.

Anyway, that's my list for now. Later, I might think of something else that i read that i might love more than any of these books.

Your turn.
