None. I don't get people who have a favorite book/album/movie. Writer/artist, sure but a book is generally too limited at some point.

Depending on the girl, either Les Miserables, Girl with a Dragon Tattoo or The Little Prince. Always followed by something from Hemingway because bitches love Hemingway. Sometimes I even answer honestly.

Meh, it's a little bit of that, but it's also kind of fun. The greatest is when someone mentions a book that you've read, but you tell them you haven't read it. Continue to have the conversation and have it travel a little bit out of context and then start reaching towards themes from the book and wonder if they catch on.

I can't pick a favorite book.

If a girl asks me what my favorite book is, my answer depends on how much I know her, and what kind of reader I think she is.

I know a lot of Catholic women for some odd reason, so to them, I'd say Paradise Lost or The Divine Comedy.

To a woman that I know to be an English major, I'd say Canterbury Tales or Much Ado (virtually anything by Shakespeare that isn't Hamlet or R&J would be just as good).

To someone that likes YA or genre fiction, I'd say Jane Eyre or Pride and Prejudice.

To anyone else, I'd say that I couldn't choose.

Why would they? Every female depicted in Dosto is subsumed by the madonna/whore complex. What woman would wanna read Notes from Underground? Smh all these people. If you wanna impress a girl tell them you read like Zadie Smith or Roxanne Gay.

I don't have a favourite book. The answer depends on the context but better just pick a title, any title, rather than worry about honest answers. People aren't that interested.

>The concept of a book (or any work of art for that matter) as an isolated, independent object is a useful, albeit over-simplified and intellectually immature fiction perpetuated by the dominant phallogocentric epistemology of western civilization and its associated socio-cultural power-structures. Metaphysically and historically speaking a "novel" or any other "book" does not exist as a discrete entity at any point in some presupposed physico-material space-time (in fact, another entity whose presupposition should be seriously questioned in any legitimate intellectual discussion) nor at preeminent location in the phenomenological world-history of dasein. Rather, something like "a book" should be viewed as a disconnected structure or network that erupts on the historico-ontological plane in a single genetic act simultaneously characterized by both diffusion in, and absorption of, what one might call the prevailing socio-cultural 'solution'. It's not unlike how early scientific investigations into the thermodynamic character of fluid mixtures revealed that nature of the time-dependent evolution of the degree of heat in a mixture of miscible liquids (or to say the same, it's degree of entropy) cannot accurately be described in terms of the dominance of one discrete or distinct entity or substance over another, but must rather be viewed as the emergence of a reciprocal interdependence between distinct yet homogeneous solutions. As one might guess, I cannot therefore say that I have a "favorite" book, although I am rather partial to the Brothers Karamazov.

it's not a brilliant book. is it overlooked by the majority of american readers? yes, and that's criminal. my father-in-law is a renowned english professor and hadn't read stoner until i gifted it to him.

the implication that edith was raped by her father was masterfully done IMO. i only got it on the second time around, and only after my wife pointed it out. still, stoner lacks the frenzied brilliance and the spiritual thrust of a book like, say, the brothers karamazov—rather, it carries a quiet american reflectiveness. i think it's great at saying what it wants to say, but the issue that what it wants to say doesn't have a lasting, universal message as great literature does.
