What is your favorite book?

That’s an easy one to answer – KJV AV 1611. After that, it becomes harder. I like most Christian books fiction or otherwise. One of my favorite nonfiction books is the All Creatures Great and Small.

For myself personally, it all depends on what my mood is-to I want a sad book, a book that makes me think, a action/thriller, a romance to escape into or I’m I trying to learn a new skill or learn about someone famous or find out why a war was started. I tend to avoid political books or nonfiction that does not read like a story. I’d had to read too many books like that for school.

If you’re trying to write something for publication it’s a good idea to know what works are popular in that chosen genre and what subgenres there are, if any. If there are not very many maybe you’d like to create a new one. It is also a good idea to see what is popular in a certain age group and write to that or put a new spin on what is being written for a certain age group.

Ones faith is also a factor in what one choose to read as Ms. Jones points out in her response. I too enjoy my NIV 1984 bible and some Christian fiction. I say some Christian fiction because a lot of the older fiction is rather unrealistic and it seems contrived to me when I compare it to the general fiction offered. Some newer authors are doing a much better job these days such as Klassen, Julie. Of course, I really like classic works of J. R. R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings Series and the Hobbit. The Silmarillion is an interesting work but I have to be in the mood for it. C.S. Lewis’ Narina Chronicles are wonderful too.

I like Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See (historical fiction and a book club book)  Wicked Autumn Malliet, G.M. (A mystery Series set in England-I like the series thus far and not just one particular book).  

All the best on your research.
