/lit/ - Literature

The Bible

The Bible here as well. It's a classic.

The Bible
seriously

Lord of the Rings

My dad only reads technical books about computer programming.

HG Wells' The Time Machine

not much of a reader, though.

I dont think my dad ever read.

Some Louis L'Amour book.

My dad pretends to have read quite a few books, but I doubt he got through them.

the bible is the first three posts that's awsome. i just like to answer the favorite book question with 'the bible' but i'm pretty sure that's what my father would say. he doesn't read books, but we were raised in a catholic home.

My dad is dead. Thanks for reminding me OP.

But seriously, he used to like Heinlein and got into reading about Gnostic Christianity before he died. There's also an immense number of books on gardening, carpentry, general household electrics, car repair manuals, maths textbooks...

My gardener and carpenter are both dead. Thanks for reminding me.

Jerk.

Jesus (carpenter) rose again on the third day, and was also Adam (gardener) come again.

Oh shit, forgot spoilers...

My father is quite a reader.

I know he likes Hopscotch a lot. Crime and Punishment as well. But I don't know about his favourite book, he reads a bit of everything and likes very different stuff. He has moved away from fiction nowadays, only reading the occasional Paul Auster, but he is enjoying himself with science books now, like Jared Diamond, Richard Leakey, Dawkins, etc.

I'm constantly talking about literature with him, he said that some authors that changed his way of seeing things were Dostoievsky, Proust and Saramago.

Yup. I wouldn't even be here in /lit/ without him.

My father's favorite novel is The Unconsoled, and his favorite author is Mordecai Richler. Luckily my father is actually pretty well read with a great book collection, and is probably one of the biggest influences on my lifelong love of reading. I talk about literature with him frequently.

Either Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, or maybe Breakfast of Champions.

Honestly, my dad is the type to have a favorite author, rather than a favorite book, and even then, I've never known him to really quantify his appreciation for these things.

The Lord of the Rings. When I was a kid he would always ask me what book I was reading and then tell me I should read The Lord of the Rings but be sure to read the Hobbit first

My father never read much. He was an electrician.

I think his favorite book was The Grapes of Wrath. He read it to me as a kid.

I love my Dad.

I'm sorry, /lit/.

He died when I was little. I don't remember his favorite book, but I remember him reading this to me as a boy. I recently revisited the book and almost started crying.

"of mice and men" is my dads favorite book

my dad's name is mark guys

my dad was a suprisingly well read individual

his favorite book was still The Power of One though

dunno why, never reallya sked him.

Not sure about my father, but this is my mother's.

Gone with the Wind

My dad's favorite book is Atlas Shrugged.
He mostly reads science fiction however, and has a great library. He got me started in the genre and we talk about books a lot.

Pillars of the Earth. Kenneth Folliet

Have no idea. I recently learned that my grandmother read War and Peace though.

My father left when I was a baby. My stepfather doesn't read, so I doubt he has a favorite book.

Popular science is the most my dad reads. We are like polar opposites.

> doesn't read
I don't understand. Is he illiterate?

>>2378059
He has the ability to read, he just chooses not to. He reads things in his daily life, such as exit signs on the highway, paperwork at work, subtitles on the television, and such like that. But he doesn't read books.

>>2378063
Ah, makes a little more sence.

oddly enough, another fat book by Hemingway (I think he wrote two -- one for each WW)

I don't know, he has read a lot of books, when I take a look in his bookshelf, I always find something new.

Pic related - He seems top love this book, not sue if /lit/ approves.

My dad can barely read, hes pretty fucking stupid.

I love Hemingway, he's a terrific writer and I'm 19.
My fathers book would be all Bond books.

He's big into mafia books, like The Ice Man: Confessions of a Mafia Contract Killer.

Likes Michael Crichton, as well, I believe.
