This week's FF blogger question is:
Q: What book do you think everyone should read? If you could gift the entire population with one book?
My answer: This may be the toughest FF question ever! I will absolutely have to cheat; there's simply no way around it. I would give the entire world population a stack of books: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (like our featured blogger's pick), To Kill A Mockingbird, maybe Life of Pi because of its bits on religion. Nothing original here, I'm sure, but I would also like to gift everyone with a copy of Pride and Prejudice in their respective language. It would be beyond awesome, if everybody went around talking like Jane Austen's characters all the time. Or like Chaucer from The Canterbury Tales...OK, that would be annoying! I'll add Pride and Prejudice to the stack and leave Chaucer, but seriously, I think everyone deserves to read the magic that is Harry Potter at least once in their lives. I'd absolutely love to hear ya'll's answers to this question, since I'm indecisive/stumped on this one. Happy hopping and be sure to leave your links!
This was a hard question, Harry Potter is a great pick! Happy New year!

HaHaHa! You have some great ones on here. Harry Potter - definitely! I love Pride and Prejudice as well. I haven't read Life of Pi yet though and other than the movie, I actually haven't heard anything about it. I'll have to look into it more. Here is my FF. Old Follower :D
ReplyDeleteGreat F&F!
ReplyDeleteLol you were having a hard time! I would definitely give everyone the HP books. They will be classics!

This week's question was tough! I almost wrote about all my favorite books and the reasons why, but I managed to narrow it down to one, lol!

All great choices! To Kill a Mockingbird is one of my favorites of all time!

Harry Potter is completely amazing. I haven't read To Kill a Mockingbird, but I've heard some pretty good things about it. I may have to check it out sometime!

I agree with you there! It's borderline impossible to choose only one book! I haven't read the Harry Potter series yet. D: But I have watched the Life of Pi movie if that counts for anything. xD New GFC follower! :D
ReplyDeleteHere's my #FF.
I agree with the harry potter pick :D and To Kill a Mockingbird, both were excellent. Did not read the third though.

my F&F
Yes, yes, yes... the entire blogosphere agrees that Harry Potter wins today! But I am SO glad you said Pride and Prejudice. Everyone should read it, it's bloody amazing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and following via GFC and Twitter.

Yeah, no way could I answer this question! There are SO many that I would pick... But most of my favorites are definitely not books for EVERYONE. Like Jacqueline Carey's books are my favorite but I wouldn't hand them to a 16 year old or someone who's not super open minded. So yeah, hard one to answer! I would say Harry Potter is a good answer and a pretty safe one too!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
So true! Love Pride and Prejudice. Harry Potter was my pick, too, as un-original as it is. He's making his way to the classics list :)
ReplyDeleteOld follower. Happy reading!

I also had a tough time with this question. I cheated and picked a series. :) There's nothing unoriginal about Harry Potter. An epic book is an epic book.

LOL. You chose quite a lot of books. I must say that I am kinda reluctant to start Pride and Prejudice. I plan to read it next year.

I'm a new follower via gfc and goodreads. That's an interesting answer. Imagine everyone in Jane Austen's character mode... including me! Have to read Harry Potter during 2013.

Oh my gosh this is a hard one! =o
ReplyDeleteI would say Lord of the Rings, because it is my absolute favourite book ever (I read it every year), but it's really not everyone's cup of tea...
@Rinn-- I reread LOTR every year, too! But I agree, it's far from everyone's cup of tea-- it's a love or hate kind of book series. Thanks for stopping by, everyone!
