For me, my pick would be To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. It is a Pulitzer Prize winner and a classic. It was published in 1960 and the story takes place during the great depression. I have recently found article and the conclusion was "through an entertaining tone, literature is able to educate the society in various indulgencies, which by scaly scrutiny may seem right. ‘To kill a mockingbird’ also serves to solve even the modern world’s prevailing challenges such social inequalities and inhumane acts toward innocent citizens for instance corruption which can be compared to an act of killing a mockingbird". Now, 62 years later since its publication, the story is still prevalent.

Hard to choose a favorite book, but one of the recents that I can re-read with joy is The Shipping News.

Farewell, My Lovely by Raymond Chandler. Wonderfully vivid descriptions of even the most minor characters and my favourite last line.

Followed closely by

Bomber by Len Deighton. A pitilessly detailed account of a fictional Lancaster raid that goes horribly wrong.

Any of the Flashman novels

It is SO difficult to answer this, because I do not have just one. I have so many, from literary classics such as Dracula, Frankenstein, and M.R. James collections to modern horror such as Stephen King, Anne Rice, and some independent publications to non-horror novels such as Anshu: Dark Sorrow, The Hate U Give, and Toni Morrison books to story collections, non-fiction books such as biographies and autobiographies and memoirs. There are so many books I like, so I do not have just one favorite.

Also, I'm an English Language Arts teacher, so this should not come as a shock to anyone.

Mine has to be A House For Mr Biswas. A teacher at school suggest it to me, i didn't fancy it and now i read it every year or two.

I have also started reading David J Schows short stories and think they are phenomenonal.
