What is your favorite book of all time?  

I was about to start such a discussion.haha..anyway..I kind of developed a deep interest in blogging than reading books.I never used to read it in a big way but I always read magazines and the newspaper.Among the ones I have read I like Five Point Something as I could relate to that story.Seriously.Anyway but yes as you say imagination is what make many great.Ideas and turning them into action.

"Stranger in a Strange Land" by Robert A. Heinlein.

It tells the story of Valentine Michael Smith, a human raised by Martians on the planet Mars, upon his return to Earth in early adulthood. The novel explores his interaction with — and eventual transformation of — Earth culture. The novel's title refers to the Biblical Book of Exodus.[1] According to Heinlein in Grumbles from the Grave, the novel's working title was The Heretic. Several later editions of the book have promoted it as "The most famous Science Fiction Novel ever written."[2]

When Heinlein first wrote Stranger in a Strange Land, his editors at Putnam required him to drastically cut its original 220,000-word length, and to remove some scenes that might have been considered too shocking at the time. The resulting edited version was about 160,000 words. In 1962 this version received the Hugo Award for the Best Science Fiction Novel of the Year. After Heinlein's death in 1988, his wife Virginia arranged to have the original uncut version of the manuscript published in 1991 by Ace/Putnam. Critics disagree over whether Heinlein's preferred original manuscript is in fact better than the heavily-edited version originally published. There is similar contention over the two versions of Heinlein's Podkayne of Mars.

While initially a success among science fiction readers, over the next six years word-of-mouth caused sales to build, requiring numerous subsequent printings of the first Putnam edition. The novel has never been out of print. Eventually Stranger in a Strange Land became a cult classic, attracting many readers who would not ordinarily read a work of science fiction. The late-1960s counterculture, popularized by the hippie movement, was influenced by its themes of individual liberty, self-responsibility, sexual freedom and the influence of organized religion on human culture and government, and adopted the book as something of a manifesto.

My favorite book pf all time is The Coldest Winter Ever by Sister Souljah.

This is a very hard question for me as I'm an avid reader and love alot of books. Right now I'm reading "Angela's Ashes" by Frank McCourt. Honestly I would have to say my favorite, and don't laugh, is the Harry Potter series. That is the one book or series that I can read multiple times. If I could choose a second author/books, then it would be James Rollins

well, beside for the Harry Potter series (yes, im a hp dork) my favorite book ever is Local Girls by Alice Hoffman.

That would have to be The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett.

Definetely the two top contenders for me are:
The Giver
Flowers for Algernon

Both are amazing books. Written by excellent authors and have a great mist of mystery over it. Not just like murder mystery(I hate those). I mean stories that really make you think, analyze and discover. I am a literary aficionado.

I have way too many books to have a favorite. My most read ones are Jane-Emily and A Nun In The Closet. I've wore out several copies of those two books. They really are good.
