Favorite Book? Anonymous Fri Mar 11 20:51:37 2016 No.7801162 [Reply] [Original]

If you love books, you may have come upon a book which rises above all the rest! What's your favorite book? Mine is Gone with the Wind, because I love romantic historical fiction! I have a first addition Gone with the Wind book from 1937, and it is super sweet because someone gave it to someone as a gift, and they put a little note on the first page! For that matter, what is your favorite genre too?
