If you love books, you may have come upon a book which rises above all the rest! What's your favorite book? Mine is Gone with the Wind, because I love romantic historical fiction! I have a first addition Gone with the Wind book from 1937, and it is super sweet because someone gave it to someone as a gift, and they put a little note on the first page! For that matter, what is your favorite genre too?

Not even being PC, that "book" is trash because it's nothing more than badly written rants about spooks

Convince me otherwise
I'm not even trying to be contrarian (or the opposite for this book, I suppose), I just legitimately do not know why people enjoy it so much

Wrong book

This one is contemporary and Norwegian

JR or Gulliver's Travels. I adore Gaddis and Swift's writing beyond measure.
