What is Your Favorite Work of Fiction?

11-25-2007, 10:39 PM

What is your favorite work of fiction? I would have to say that Stephen King's The Green Mile is probably my favorite. In novel form, on CD and on the silver screen, I have to say that it is all around one of the better stories ever put to paper. It seems no matter what medium is used to tell this story, it always plays well.

What do you all think? Whats your favorite work of fiction?

Many of Stephen kings books rank up there (movie adaptations do not count). Then I have always had a soft spot for Robert Heinlein's Number of the beast as well as Clive Barkers Imajica and the Yattering and Jack.

Ok Clive Barker is really a shame. He writes great thought provoking stories yet Hollywood will not let him develop his books to film to let him get the attention he deserves unless its Hellraiser part 98 first, and then they will give him a tiny budget to do a different story.

minusonebit, I read 2-3 books a week and I'm 50 so it's hard to have a favorite. One of the best and a book you should read is "Unintended Consequences" by John Ross it's fiction, interesting and full of historical facts about guns and government agencys. Make sure you read the original long version 850 or so pages.

No surprise if your library won't carry it. It really is a good book.

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
I also really like the Eragon series. (I have a thing for fantasy hmm..)

But if we are listing Stephen King favorites then its The Shining.

One of my favorites as well...but Catcher in the rye also falls in there..so does Hollywood by Bukowski, which is a not so subtle work of fiction based on his experiences making Barfly.

Jim The Fiends life story.

Seriously, I like the whole romantic thing around the Raj etc - EM Forster is great.

If I have to go modern then King or Grisham.

Ok that short story itself was sick, now can it be properly stretched into a full length movie is another question. Can they also keep the gut wrenching gore and sickness of the story while maintaining an R rating. I do have hopes because they did at least pick a Japanese director.

Yet does this mean that he will have to release yet another hellraiser or some updated version of hellraiser? No it is not a joke, I am serious it seems as if he wants to make any movie he must make someone a hellraiser flick.

I enjoy reading non-fiction more than fiction, however, here are some of my favorites in no particular order:

Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo
The Jungle by Upton Sinclair
The Naked and the Dead by Norman Mailer
The World According to Garp by John Irving
Hawaii by James Michener
Lost Horizon by James Hilton
Cannery Row by John Steinbeck
The Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs
The Sheltering Sky by Paul Bowles
Sometimes A Great Notion by Ken Kesey
On the Road by Jack Kerouac
Steppenwolf by Herman Hesse (also Siddhartha)
No Exit by Jean-Paul Sarte

There are many, many more...

I regret that I don't read complete novels as much as I did when I was younger, however I am still a voracious reader - I just do most of my reading online, and prefer shorter essays and articles these days.

yup, been in the works for a while, was supposed to be out in the early months of '08, but due to production delays the release of Choke is set for the summer of '08. I've read all of Chuck'sbooks now, aside from Survivor, and Choke is easily my favorite. Like I say, I am SO FUCKING STOKED for this movie!

other fiction books i liked...

Oryx and Crake - Margaret Atwood
Life of Pi - Yann Martel
Eaters of the Dead - Michael Chrichton
Siddhartha - Hermann Hesse (well pretty much anything by Hermann Hesse)

i'm more of a nonfiction reader, but these are a few of the top of my head i really enjoyed..
