Male Top 10 favourite books and Female Top 10 favourite books

[kelby_lake]

Couldn't really think of a good title.
Anyhow, I thought it would be interesting to see what sort of books each gender gravitates towards. Do women have different favourite books than men? Or is there a crossover?

Basically list your gender and the top 10 books you most enjoy. Don't put Ulysses because you think that must top a list- this is what sort of books you like. Then I'll try and compile two lists (one men's top 10, one woman's)- and we can analyse to our heart's content.

I'll count up on 5th October

[Buh4Bee]

Female

The Catcher in the Rye (just the best)
Anna Karenina (epic!!)

Gone with the Wind (read in highschool and still love it)
A Street Car Named Desire (haunted me)
Roots (powerful)
Angela's Ashes

Anyhow, I thought it would be interesting to see what sort of books each gender gravitates towards. Do women have different favourite books than men? Or is there a crossover?

"The Top Ten" by Zane contains the top ten lists of 125 leading writers. Each list is shown under the writer's name, so you could add up the choices of women writers and male writers to get some impression of this.

Like all lists, it is flawed, of course. It includes a few writers I've never heard of who do strange things like picking the Bible!

[Adagio]

Male

In this order:

The Brothers Karamazov by Dostoevsky

It´s unbeliavable the low quality of the user´s list. Kafka?? Kafka was an idiot that, just for being a jew and to have had a tragic death was hyped as a brilliant writer. Which can its books be classified as masterpieces? Any book of this moron can be written by a ten year-old child, since she has some talent.

Everyone try to read the real literature works and not the works of deceivers.

Yes and no.
I'm currently in the process of reading The Idiot right now, and as with all of Dostoyevsky's works, I find it deeply moving and powerful. But I understand your feeling; it isn't a very 'Dostoyevskian' work, and I think that is because Dostoyevsky wanted to express the ideal human being, a Christ-like figure, as oppose to the existential hero.

[Griffith]

The idiot is the best book of Dostoyevsky. This book demonstrate, in a brilliant way, the psychological character of the prince Míchkin. In a society degenerated by capitalism, a human being fair, honest and romantic could only be considered idiot. The Dostoyevsky´s experience in the western countries of Europe make him conscious of the russian delay in comparison with the high industrialized countries. In spite of such delay, the Russia maintained its superiority in the spiritual field. In this book, he try to hinder the possible spiritual decadence of Russia and he also tries to eliminate that cancer of the mesmerizing European culture. Only amateurs that don´t know nothing of art cannot apreciate this book.

That's kind of offensive

[rimbaud]

I agree that The Idiot is a master piece but I wouldn't call it Dostoevsky greatest work, the man is a genius and has only great work. anyway, I do not think that there is anything offensive in the book, but if you meant the reply "Only amateurs that don´t know nothing of art cannot apreciate this book" yes it is offensive.
and absolutely not true. if art is something that everyone can consume in the same way it wouldn't be art.

[Delarge]

@ MNIS/Griffith:
and definetely not how I read the book. Why put the whole Europe/Russia - Industialized/conservative country into the context?
When I read it, I didn't just think of it as taking place in Russia, but more like a universal story about an evil man (Mysjkin) doing harm to himself and his friends/loved ones because he's incapable of being a human beeing with all the flaws that comes with it. For all I care it could just aswell have taken place in Europe or present day.

[Griffith]

I agree that The Idiot is a master piece but I wouldn't call it Dostoevsky greatest work, the man is a genius and has only great work.


Which would be the best?? Crime and punishment?? Anyway, Dostoyevsky was a real genious. It´s really difficult to choose "the greatest masterpiece".

[Dark Lady]

Since the title calls for people's favourite books and not the ones they think contain the best writing (and the two are not the same) I will be completely honest and to hell with my guilty pleasures being known. This is list is subject to change (and would probably be different tomorrow and would have been different yesterday) but right now:

Female

In alphebetical order of writer ('cause I'm that kind of geek);

Adams, Douglas The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Gallaxy
Bronte, Charlotte Jane Eyre
Dickens, Charles Bleak House
Eliot, George Middlemarch
Faulkner, William The Sound and the Fury
Heller, Joseph Catch 22
Nabokov, Vladimir Lolita
Niffenegger, Audrey The Time Traveller's Wife
Safran Foer, Jonathan Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
Woolf, Virginia Mrs Dalloway


Also, I have stuck to novels because to add plays etc would have made it too complicated.

[rimbaud]

Which would be the best?? Crime and punishment?? Anyway, Dostoyevsky was a real genious. It´s really difficult to choose "the greatest masterpiece".

well if I HAVE to choose i'd say The brothers Karamazov
it's the best for me

[SupaStudy]

Might as well throw an 18 year old's favorites into the mix, I'm not ashamed of having less than refined tastes ;p
(in no particular order)

The Invisible Man - Ralph Ellison
Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card
The Dark Tower (series) - Stephen King
The Divine Comedy (trilogy) - Dante Alighieri
In Cold Blood - Truman Capote
Protector of the Small (quartet) - Tamora Pierce
Crime and Punishment - Fyodor Dostoevsky
The Perks of Being a Wallflower - Stephen Chbosky
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy - Douglass Adams
Its Kind of a Funny Story - Ned Vizzini

Just to point it out, the Dark Tower series is quite engrossing and really beautiful; maybe Stephen King is a bit commercial and a lot of his horror can be campy, but if you put aside those prejudices you really find The Dark Tower series (which is non-horror btw) is something new and great.
As far as gender differences, I'm not sure if there will be a huge change. For instance I put the Protector of the Small series which I've always loved, and that's about as feminist as you get (as far as modern medieval/fantasy goes).

Karamozov
Huckleberry Finn
East of Eden
O Pioneers
Anna Karenina

The brothers karamazov is like something bigger than a novel.i agree with you,i can't even compare it with the other dostoyevskis i've read.

[Delarge]

The brothers karamazov is like something bigger than a novel.i agree with you,i can't even compare it with the other dostoyevskis i've read.

I completely agree. The Brothers Karamazov is in it's own league. You can't explain it, you got to read it!

'Germinal' by Emile Zola

Great book, indeed. I have forgotten the great Emile Zola.

About the Dostoevsky discussion, someone thinks that Notes from underground has been hyped for a long time?? I´m not saying it´s bad but if you compare with The possessed, The Idiot, The Brothers Karamazov, Crime and Punishment and Notes from the House of the Dead the book is going to look clearly inferior. Even so, it´s incommensurably superior than any work of Kafka or other deceiver.

[rimbaud]

well, I wouldn't agree
I agree on that Dostoevsky is the best for me, and many others, the man is a genious, no one can deny, but to say that his "compared to the others inferior work" is still "incommensurably superior than any work of Kafka or other deceiver" is just wrong
you can express your opinion without forcing it on the others, this is online literature forum, which means that there are fans of Dostoevsky as well there are fans of Kafka.

[Griffith]

this is online literature forum, which means that there are fans of Dostoevsky as well there are fans of Kafka.

And which means that i can have my own opinion. And in my opinion Dostoevsky "is incommensurably superior" than Kafka. I am not offending the mom of nobody, mate. Take it easy.

[kelby_lake]

Haha, thanks. I had a hard time picking my #10 and gave it to that Heinlein book just so my love of classic sci-fi was represented. On second thought, Tropic of Cancer probably deserves it. It's not like I'm voting for something that matters though.

I'm surprised that there was an obvious winner- and a bit surprised at the amount of Dostoevsky.
