Personally, I love reading because it not only entertains me but educates me at the same time. I don't think anyone can deny that a small portion of the reason of why we read is egotistical because...

Misery by Stephen King.

The scary aspect of the novel was that there was no supernatural elements and everything that happened in the story could really happen.

One that I can think of is The Power and the Glory by Graham Greene.

I would nominate J.D. Salinger. The only reason he is well known is because he is a social recluse and won't do any interviews, thus increasing the hype of his novels. Also Stephenie Meyer by far.

The Inkheart trilogy to me is like a love letter to any person that truly loves reading and

the plot revolves around a single book called Inkheart and the Inkworld.

Only paranoid fools who haven't read the Harry Potter series would say that it promotes the occult and witchcraft. It actually promotes many good values that every human being should embrace, such as...

I would love to meet Gaunt and the entire Imperial Guard crew from Gaunt's Ghosts( Warhammer 40k). I also would love to talk to Yossarian and Hungry Joe from Catch-22.

The rise percentage in the report propably was mainly caused by casual teenager and young adult readers as they bought and read the entire Twilight series. I'm not sure if Twilight is as popular now...

Whenever I go book shopping, I just go all out and find as many classics as I can. I recomend Atlus Shrugged.

Even if I hate it, I must finish a book because it will drive me mad when I wonder whether the latter part of the book was good after all. I'm crazy that way.

I had to read the book twice to understand it. I love it though. My favorite character would have to be Vardaman because of the "my mother is a fish" motif.

I just voted for Crime and Punishment because that is the only one I've read out of the three.

You have to read Catch-22 by Joseph Heller. It is the most hilarious classic I have ever read!!!

I've never really thought of reading certain genres by season. When you think of it, it really sounds like a good idea. I usually read some of my favorite books in the summer or winter because those...

Yossarian from Catch-22!!!!

In some ways, Winston ceased to exist at the end of the book because he became a part of the mindless cattle that were slaves to Big Brother and the government. His sense of self, identity, and mind...

To my knowledge, Dostoyevsky is best known for Crime and Punishment. I just finished reading it yesterday and it was very good. My only problem was I could never remember all the Russian names in the...

You need some WarHammer 40k on your list. Who doesn't love to read about the Imperial Guard prevailing against Chaos for the God Emperor of Terra?

I'm so glad that Dune got recogized as #1 science fiction. I wish I had to read it again for school instead of The Red Badge of Courage.

I'm about 50 pages from finishing Crime and Punishment and I am in shock that it was nominated number one. It's good but I personally think it shouldn't be number one. Thanks for the great list. You...

I think that you pretty much nailed it. In some ways, you can't explain the need of literature in our lives.

I totally disagree with you on you stating that Catch-22 is a bad classic. It is absolutely one of the best books I have ever read, in my opinion. But what makes me angry is that a small portion of...
