What is yout favorite novel?

Please tell me.

So that I can download.

Night World Series by LJ Smith and Harry Potter by J. K. Rowling.

Almost anything by John Irving, my favourites are:

• Cider House Rules
• Hotel New Hampshire
• Last Night in Twisted River

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (all five of them).

Our Man in Havana: Graham Greene

The Diceman: George Cockcroft (Luke Rhinehart)

Down and Out in Paris and London: George Orwell

Pimp: The Story of my Life: Robert Beck (Iceberg Slim)

The Quiet American is a Graham Greene novel I like a lot.

How is this relevant to chess?

The Defence by Vladimir Nabokov of course.  It's about a chess player you know.  Nabokov himself was an ok player, and made up some good problems too.

I've read some of Greene's novels, but not that one. I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Brighton Rock is another that leaves a lasting impression. Quite menacing.

Travels with my Aunt was a bit slow IMHO. However, when I saw a three-man stage show of the book, it was very funny.

Thanks guys for all the responses.I would like more guys.

TO take you in confide and tell you the truth.I have been mesmerized by the writings of Maxim Gorkey. What a mazic is in his books. Really I like Gorki'books.

My Childhood

The Mother.

My all time, can't live without novel, has got to be Robert Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.

Stephen Hunter's Tapestry of Spies is high on my list of favorites and has a strong chess theme.

Rebecka

Microcosmic God by Theodore Sturgeon.

EDIT: Simply astounding!

The amatures mind by IM Jeremy Silman

:-)

Profile of an Prodigy by Frank Brady

(of course of course)

If you like stories that make heavy use of cliffhangers, then could you read the writers of the nineteenth century. Dostojevski's Crime and Punishment is my favorite.

Evenings on a farm near Dikanka of Nicolaj Gogol is a marvellous book.

From the English literature Ulysses of James Joyce.

the dark tower series by steven king is amazing. east of eden by john steinbeck. watership down by richard adams anything with the character Drizzt by RA Salvatore

 I recently finished reading what has become my favourite novel presently:

"She Came To Stay", by Simone de Beauvoir:)
