I am giving away a copy of Life of Pi
a fantastic book which I have not reviewed on here, because I read it long before this blog was even conceived. The book recounts the harrowing adventures of Pi, a zookeeper's son, who becomes lost at sea on a boat with, among several other animals, an enormous tiger. His fight to survive this ordeal is inspiring and hopeful. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I am sure you will too!The copy I am giving away is not the same one the above link takes you to - it is this one:
whose cover I kinda like better anyway (still paperback)

I've heard a lot about this book and would love to win.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book? Tough question.
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card is up there, as is Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. The Princess Bride is a rare book and movie combination in which both are equally as good. And, from my young childhood I've always loved "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs".
Is it okay that I didn't come up with just one favorite?

My favorite book is Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. As to why...I don't know...it's one of the few books that I seek out to reread each and every year. I never get tired of visiting with the characters.

Thanks for your giveaway...I love your reviews. There are so many, many books that I love and have learned from, but I guess I would have to say that my all time favorite would be To Kill A Mockingbird. I learn so much from this book every time I read it and since I am a high school English teacher, I read and teach it twice every year. It's a truly wonderful book with a message as relevant today as when Harper Lee wrote it. If I am lucky winner, please contact me at cdjdhj@yahoo.com.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
I would love to be entered in this drawing. My favorite book is "The Onion Girl" by Charles de Lint. In this book the woman starts realizing her life is made up of memories and her past, when you peel away the layers you discover who she truly is inside. It's a cross between a surreal world overlapping reality. Charles de Lint takes fairies, wood fey, shapeshifters and the likes to incorporate them into the backdrop of any urban setting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this opportunity! Indigo

My favorite book is Blood and Gold by Anne Rice. The character of Marius is fascinating, the descriptions of his surroundings are immaculate, and I love Anne Rice's style.

OH geeze a favorite book? Anything with vampires in it right now, but not limited to Twilight, growing up it was Into the Land of the Unicorns,
ReplyDeleteOh, I have been wanting to read this one!
ReplyDeleteI can't pick an *absolute* favorite book, but one of my favorites is American Gods by Neil Gaiman, because I truly felt that I was IN the story, with the main character...like, actually on the ground with him, seeing things as he saw them. It was awesome :D
Thanks! :)

My favorite book is "Cabinet of Curiosities" by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child. The story is very dense, intense and intriguing. And I couldn't figure out "who did it" until almost the end of the book.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is my all-time favorite book. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteGone With The Wind always takes me away better than Calgon bath bubbles.

Thanks!

Sounds like something I would enjoy. As for my favorite book. I have so many and if I say just one then I'll forever be sorry I didn't mention another. As any avid reader knows...it's the next one!
ReplyDeleteI think my favorite book I have ever read is A Wrinkle in Time. At the time it was written it was unique. Madelaine L'Engel did a great job with the characterizations and the descriptions made you feel like you were there. I really enjoyed reading this and all of the books in the series.
ReplyDelete"Life of Pi" actually is my favorite book but unfortunately got left behind during a vacation.
ReplyDeleteVoltaire's "Candide"!

I could have sworn I bought this book a few years ago. Recently, I wanted to pick it up and read it, since I had never read it before. But now I can't find the copy I bought! I'd love to win this one. One of my recent favorite books I've read is The Art of Racing in the Rain, by Garth Stein. It's a wonderful book for dog lovers!
