Default Favorite Book

Does anyone have a favorite book? My favorite is "Into Thin Air" by Jon Krakauer. I just finished reading it. It was very good.

Mine is To Kill a Mockingbird...I read it about 3 years ago and it's still my number one.

My favorite book is Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin. This is the first book in a series.

My favorite personal finance book is The Truth About Money by Ric Edelman.

I enjoy reading autobiographies, mainly of business people. Lately I've been reading more with political figures.

I always did enjoy Orwell's books, as well as classics such as the Lord Of The Rings.

Actually though, I enjoy a wide variety of different kinds of books. Way too difficult to only pick a single book.

My favorite book is the Art of War by Sun Tzu. I read his saying every single day. I can use his sayings during work and play.

Just finished reading The Audacity of Hope by Barack Obama...

I am a moderate republican, but I thoroughly enjoyed the book and his views. What interests me most about him is his ability to see things from multiple perspectives, something sorely lacking with most politicians.

My personal hope is that the next President of the United States is someone that can bring all people together for the greater good. After reading his book, I am more of a believer than I was.

Definitely recommended reading for anyone in the U.S.
