Favourite Book Quotes

I don’t have a favourite book, I have hundreds Picture Quote #1

You’re not supposed to have a favourite book - it’s like children Picture Quote #1

When I was very young, one of my favourite books was Captain’s Courageous and I suppose one of the reasons I loved it, it was a life I knew I should have had, learning all the different bits of the ship and learning to catch fish and rig sails and to -all the things that I never learned and I never learned the discipline, but I hungered after it Picture Quote #1

I can understand the natural anxiety of readers when waiting for another installment of a favourite series, but I think it is much more important to get a book right than it is to have it appear on time Picture Quote #1

Ford Maddox Ford’s ‘The Good Soldier’ is my favourite novel. I first read it in the 1950s and have read it about 20 times since. It’s possibly the best-constructed book in the English language Picture Quote #1

My favourite all-time work of fiction: Lord of the Rings. My favourite all-time nonfiction book: Guns, Germs, and Steel. Ask me again next week, you’ll get a different answer Picture Quote #1

I’ve got lots of favourite authors, but I would say Nicci French because I look more forward to reading her next new book than any other author Picture Quote #1

With fantasy, one often has to think of a well-loved series before narrowing the selection to a favourite book. So it is with Zelazny. I’ve read his ‘Princes in Amber’ books so often, I know them almost verbatim, so much so that I am now trying to forget them so I can return to them with renewed pleasure Picture Quote #1

I hate picking favourite books. I usually tend to stay away from all the ‘top record’ and ‘favourite song’ and ‘favourite book’, and I just think it doesn’t do any good for anybody Picture Quote #1

You can’t have a favourite meal, like you can’t have a favourite movie or a favourite book or a favourite child Picture Quote #1

One of my favourite books of all time: ‘The Great Gatsby’. I just think it’s so well written Picture Quote #1

Two of my favourite books are Henry Miller’s ‘Tropic of Cancer’ and ‘Tropic of Capricorn.’ Picture Quote #1

I loved ‘Middlemarch,’ I think that’s one of my favourite books of all time, actually Picture Quote #1

My favourite books are Charles Bukowski’s ‘Post Office’ and ‘Women.’ Picture Quote #1

My favourite book as a child was an old ‘Newne’s Children’s Encyclopaedia’ which my grandfather had bought just before World War II and donated to our family after seeing how interested we were in it. Each volume had special chapters called ‘Things Boys can Do.’ My brothers and I would pick out interesting projects Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been interested in science - one of my favourite books is James Watson’s ‘Molecular Biology of the Gene.’ Picture Quote #1

I certainly wasn’t born with creative writing. Maybe there’s a certain amount of learning and then it’s up to the person. I think in the end it’s your favourite books that are the best teachers. That’s the way I’ve learned the most, by far Picture Quote #1

My first favourite book was Are You My Mother? A picture book about a lost bird. After that my favourites changed almost yearly. I loved everything by Roald Dahl, but my favourite was probably Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. A librarian gave me a first edition of that book, which I treasure Picture Quote #1

I read a lot of fantasy. I adored ‘Anne of Green Gables’. But my favourite books as a child were probably Laura Ingalls Wilder’s ‘Little House’ series, about a pioneer family in the mid-19th-century American west. I often thought of them as I was writing ‘The Last Runaway’ Picture Quote #1

Successive generations of middle-class parents used to foist their own favourite books on their children. But some time in the late Eighties it began to wane - not because children had lost interest in adorable animals but because most of it was available on useful, pacifying video Picture Quote #1

When I was in my early 20s, my dream was to write mystery novels. I wanted to do what my favourite crime writer, Ross Macdonald, did - crank out a book a year. The only problem - and it was a considerable one - was that I stank Picture Quote #1

Until I was 16, I read nothing but science fiction. I loved William Gibson and I still do. But my favourite book when I was growing up, for a long time, was ‘Snow Crash’ by Neal Stephenson, which I must have read about a dozen times when I was a teenager Picture Quote #1

No days, perhaps, of all our childhood are ever so fully lived as those that we had regarded as not being lived at all: days spent wholly with a favourite book. Everything that seemed to fill them full for others we pushed aside, because it stood between us and the pleasures of the Gods Picture Quote #1

When I was a child I devoured every book I could get my hands on. I loved losing myself in colourful and dramatic stories - and my absolute favourite was ‘Charlie And The Chocolate Factory.’ Everything about it electrified me, and when I re-read Roald Dahl’s books as an adult it surprised me Picture Quote #1

The anti-apartheid prisoners on the island, like so many in every age and nation, found that Shakespeare had a peculiar ability to gentle their condition. They used to gather clandestinely to read the plays; on one occasion, the book was passed around for each man to mark his favourite lines Picture Quote #1

Whats my favourite book? It changes all the time Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been interested in science - one of my favourite books is James Watson’s ‘Molecular Biology of the Gene Picture Quote #1

She doesn’t know I cry for the changing times. That just as I reread favourite books, some small part of me hoping for a different ending, I find myself hoping against hope that the war will never come. That this time, somehow, it will leave us be Picture Quote #1

I will never be able to read my mothers favourite books without thinking of her - an when I pass them on or recommend them, I'll know that some of what made her goes with them; that some of my mother will live on in those readers, readers who may be inspired to love the way loved and do their own version of what she did in the world Picture Quote #1
