Nominatissima already explained how difficultit is to choose a favorite book (or a favorite whatever you’re into-).
So, I don’t know. I ain’t got an idea!
I spent my teen years saying that “The
Dark Elf” by R.A. Salvatore was my favorite book. I still love it a lot, but I
love (and loved) it more as a symbol in
my life than as a piece of literature. Whatever.
And that’s what happens with most of the
books I love. I don’t love them because of the plot and the language but
because of external reasons, because I link them with personal experiences and
I don’t think that’s the way of choosing a favorite book.
And then, I’ve got a thing for books, so I
like and enjoy everything I read or else I don’t read it, and I’ve got a shelf
full of books right behind my desk and I’m searching along the titles and none
really stands out as one that I liked over the rest.
But.
The book I recomended to more people in
the last couple of years is Diane Setterfield’s “The Thirteenth Tale”, so I’ll
choose it as my favorite.
I mostly liked the way it was writen, and
the atmosphere.
I always have a pen and a notebook when
I’m reading (since I read “Sophia’s World” then I was 16) and I note whatever
thing that gets my atention or whatever thought I have while reading a certain
phrase. I noted tones of things while reading “The Thirteenth Tale”. I loved
the language above all, the images, the metaphors. I loved the tragedy. I loved
how it was isolated from everything else and how you didn’t miss anything while
reading.
When I read it for the 2nd time I found
some things I didn’t like (mostly the treatment given Adeline’s character) but the fisrt time, there was nothing,
nothing, nothing that broke the enchantment. I was into the universe of
Angelfiend as I have never been in any other.
