Favourite book

[gyronny]

I read new books all the time, so in theory it could change daily... but I've chosen three I've read many times over the years, making them consistent friends. I've read many more worthy or literary, "cleverer" books - but for pure affection and a pleasant relaxing read:

Busman's Honeymoon, Dorothy L Sayers
Skinny Dip, Carl Hiaasen
Going Postal, Terry Pratchett.

Hi Bykimbo
Haven't read Sayers for years, I might try some again. I like the other 2 as well, Terry Pratchett very, very nearly made my list as well, but mine was The Night Watch

I think To Kill a Mockingbird is one of the finest books ever written, but I couldn't call it a favourite. It's not what I'd reach for if I felt poorly, or needed cheering up or de-stressing.

I've always read a lot ever since I was a child, but I rarely read books more than once. To Kill a Mockingbird was a book I studied in school initially, but have read a few times since, and I think it's great, but perhaps you're right with it not being a 'poorly' book. For that I'd probably pick a Stephen King!

That would certainly take you out of yourself.
