What is your favorite book? At the moment, it is difficult for me to put some kind of book in my rating, but it will be a scientific and historical work anyway!

The Bible but if you mean a nonreligious book then Tell No One. When I heard they made it into a movie I had to see that too! Book is about love, loss, murder, mystery, etc. Best part is that it starts will love and ends in love of a couple

But I think I can do it measuring it by impression. The most impressive book (or the book that impressed me most) was Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein".

My favourite book has to be all of the Harry Potter series. Plus I liked 'The God of small things' by Arundhati Roy (it's a brilliantly written tragedy, serious recommendation) And also 'The White Tiger' by Aravind Adiga. 'Crime and Punishment' by Fyodor Dostoevsky 'The Story of my experiments with truth' - Mahatma Gandhi (autobiography) 'The Prophet' and 'Madman' by Kahlil Gibran 'Many lives Many Masters' by Dr Brian Weiss And of course the Dan Brown books 'Angels and Demons' 'The Da Vinci Code' 'Deception Point' are my personal favourites. Cheers!

No I have not. Actually I've just started reading philosophy, I read Kahlil Gibran's work first and then Crime and Punishment. I have a number books that are really popular and I'd like to read them in the future.

I can't really say that I got the point of book but it was pleasure to make an invitation to Khalil's thoughts. Be hurry to read! My beloved girlfriend (who hates me the most) is maybe the best reader I've ever seen in life - she reads 2-4 books a day, and at the time she's studying and sometimes works... She's awesome!!.. But if she had a gun and was told to kill someone without being jailed after - no doubt - it would be me... ) Sorry, for these details, but I like to speak with you!

Most of my favourite books are novel and some of them are non-fiction categories, I have lots of favourite books actually, but I can only think of few books at the moment: Fiction: - George Orwell "1984" (Those who dwell in a literacy realm surely know this one, if you don't know, then GO AND READ IT!) - Charles Dickens "Oliver Twist, Great Expectations" - leo Tolstoy "War and Peace" - Victor Hugo "Les Miserables" (Now this one is a bit confusing to follow the story because there are so many digressions) - Nisio Isin "Death Note Another Note: The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases" Non-Fiction: - Decline and fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbons ( I haven't finished reading all of the volumes ) - A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking - Madness and Civilization by Michel Foucault - The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism by Max Weber - A Study of History by Arnold Toynbee

You have wonderful tastes! Leo Tolstoy, Weber, Toynbee, Foucault... What about non-fictions like: Friedrich Nietzsche 'Zarathustra', Alasder Macintyre 'After Virtue', Ludwig Wittgenstein 'Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus'; and fictions like: Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein', Erich Maria Remark 'Three comrades', Charles Bukovsky 'Factotum'?

I'm Actually a historian student, currently studying about history in my Uni, so I'm nowhere near a level in which I can fit into a philosophical discussion because I'm not a philosopher, . I also read Plato "The Republic" just for the sake to fulfil my curiosity, But yeah, I've read Nietzsche the prominent German philosopher, and I still remember his famous words which invoke many controversies and a wide range of Interpretations, *Got is tot* which means that God is Dead. I also read Hegel," the philosophy of history" but I haven't finished reading it, even though my teachers say that it's an obligation for every historian students to read it . And as for fictions, well, of course, Shelley's Frankenstein was *good*, and Remarque "The three comrades* I have the novel in my possession but I haven't read it, and Charles Bukowski? oh geez, I'm sorry I didn't know him, maybe I'll look it up
