What is your favorite book of all time? Currently at least. Why? Why should other people read it?

Probably Catcher in the Rye...It's such an amazing coming-of-age story, and an endearing tale of male adolescence to boot. I think it's just one of those stories you have to read at some point or another as you grow up, because it's so timeless.

The Shape Of Water by Anne Spollen. It's not like every other teen fiction book. It's unique and eaay to relate to. I think anyone could read it and find a little bit of themselves in it.
-
Jane Eyre. It's unique and chilling with so much sadness but everything comes out alright in the end.
-
The Book Thief by Markus Zusack. It's just amazing in every way, even though it's YA Fiction I think anyone could enjoy reading it.

Huh.....it would have to be between Eragon or Artemis Fowl.

To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee.
I read it under protest in eighth grade and fell in love with it. A black man is accused by a... liberal-with-her-loving woman of rape. Although he is innocent and there is ample evidence to back him up, because he lives in a prejudiced town full of white supremists, the trial drags on. Scout, daughter of the innocent man's lawyer, is a young white girl who cannot understand why black people and white people are treated differently. The whole story just shows how sometimes children can teach adults simple lessons that everyone forgets as they grow older. -
Definitely Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte! I can relate so easily to Jane, in the way she is plain and sees herself as having no real talents, she just wants to escape and make something of herself. And then Edward Rochester falls in love with her because of all these things. It is the most beautiful and sincere love story I have ever read and I can easily read it over and over again. This book made me realize that I have talents no matter what I think, and that some day someone will fall in love with me. It gave me the strength to be determined to follow my dreams no matter what anyone else thinks. Every time I have read it, it teaches me something else, and I think this is why you should read it if you haven't!

The Kiesha'ra series by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes. The first book, called Hawksong, is about a world of shapeshifters in which two different species (serpiente and avian) who have been at war for decades without knowing why, and follows the two rulers who are trying to end the war. The rest of the series follows the two kingdoms through different points of view.
Atwater-Rhodes has such a unique writing style, and she has a beautiful way of describing her world, her characters, and their emotions as the story progresses. There are a few innuendos, but nothing is really explicit enough to make people uncomfortable, and the story itself is just amazing. It's not a great classic or anything, but I still love the series.

I think maybe...I don't know. I have so many. I like water for elephants because it really makes you think about life, and not taking things for granted. And soul surfer, because it is just so inspiring to anyone who dosn't like qualities about themselves or inspiring topeople with disabilities, and is kind of about never giving up.
Another one is crash into me, because It's about apreciating life, and learning to face up to your fears. And another one is dirty liar. It's also kind of about facing up to your fears.
I think those are my top faves. -
The Catcher in the Rye, hands down. I'm not even sure anymore why. I just love Holden. There's a quotable passage on nearly every page. I couldn't really be more different than Holden, but I still relate to him so much.
Everyone should read it because it's an amazing classic. -
I have no idea! I have so many favorites! But I'm going to have to say The Luxe by Anna Godbersen and The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.
