Your Favorite Book: Why did you like it?

Reading is a fun way to learn more about life and the world around us, and my kids really enjoy reading all types of novels and stories. One particular series of books I enjoyed reading years ago was Redwall (www.redwall.org), fantasy novels by Brian Jacques, featuring an animal kingdom fighting each book against some evil force. The reason why I like these books so much was that the main characters show great virtues of honesty, loyalty, and kindness that can be applied to our lives today.

So, what about you? Share you favorite book and tell us why you like it.

  3. My favorite books is The Old Man and The Sea by Hemingway. It was the first book in English I understood with ease. The author uses simple sentences and many adjectives. I believe the use of so many adjectives in this novel create clear images of what the characters say and do.

  4. My favorite book are "Doremon" series. There are stories which tell us about a lovely machine cat. He has a friend who called Nobita. Nobita is a lubberly boy. He always make so much complicated things so Doremon has to help him. Nobita and Doremon are closefriend, they always dispute with each other,but they love each orther so much. The story show us about friendship, childish naivety,.. and the story also tell us how to confront many difficulties in life. In fact, there are so many stories which are better than this story, but moreover i still like it the most because it's funny story.

  5. I'm a student majoring english education so I'm a little bit nervous about how I use English well. Recently I found this site, and I'm getting a lot of help. (Thank you, Randalls!!)Anyway, I like some sort of fantasy books such as Harry Porter, The Lord of the ring, etc. I'm also now a days reading some book "The chicken soup for the soul". That's very moving novel I think.

  8. My favorite book is "How to win friends and influence people" written by Carnegie Dale. This books teaches me how to get along well with my family and friends, even those who I meet for the first time. I am studying business, so I have to learn soft skills. This book gives me a lot of these. It offers ways to get good initial contact from your partner. It teaches you how to talk politely and how to make people do what you want. I keep this book on my bookcase and read it whenever I like.

  10. My favourite book is Winnie the Pooh. It is by a man called A.A. Milne.
    I like the book because it is about a teddy bear. I love teddy bears. The bear in the book is called Winnie the Pooh. It belongs to a litte boy named Christopher Robin. The bear is often just called Pooh. I also like the book because it makes me laugh.

  11. Well, I major in construction, so either I or all of my friends usually think and look everything in a serious way not like students studying human course or financal trade, for example.But I also undergo a favourite hobby that is reading. I found that it is a very fun to do. I like to read detective stories that make me improve my imaginative ability. I usually try to guess the result of the story based on my emotion and my perspective outlook towards what is occuring of the story. Consequently, sometimes the result of the story match on the result as I foreseen

  12. Hi, Randall
    i'm Thanh and i come from Vietnam. It's really interesting to find a useful ESL site like yours, where I can find conversations on various topic in my everyday life. I'm now studying medicine so reading book is an essential part of my study.
    From my experience, a good book is one that is short and contain valuable information cos I don't like to waste my time perusing long long book.
    My favorite type is science fiction and love novel.

  13. Yeah, yeah... Reading a book is a very good thing we have to do when we want to relax.
    And it's good not just for fun, but also for our goodness. Good stories contained into the book teach us good things such as: honesty, kindness, being friends of our friends and of our enemies (they teach us how to be smarter)... By the way, the villains into the story teach us how to be good and smart.

    In my opinion, my favorite book is “Doraemon”. This is a comic book which tells us about a machine cat. He is Doraemon and he is very lovely. His best friends are Nobita, Shizuka, Jaien, Suneo and Dekisugi. Nobita is a lubberly boy. He always makes so much complicated things so Doraemon has to help him. I think Nobita and Doraemon are best friends forever, and I like the comic “Doraemon” very much…

  21. I am graduating now, so it is very difficult to read books, I do not have a free time to do it.However, I can practice my reading skills while I am studying for a test, because I have learned with some books, but they are not books that contain stories or something like that, they just have informations about the subjects that I am learning.

  22. My favorite book is "The World is Flat" by Thomas L.Friedman. That book teaches me that the world will are living right now is changing every single day, and the modern technologies right now will take people's job forever so we had better keep learning something new everyday to follow it's way.

  23. My favorite books are Harry Potter and A Song of Ice and Fire. I like Harry Potter because it's a awesome book where we can see people who never give up their dreams, and the story is basic based on love... Harry Potter survived because of love, Voldemort died because of love, love made friends be friends, etc. Also, a song of ice and fire is a superb story that there are drama, action, blood hahahaha
