ReplyDeleteThe literary fiction book I most often recommend is Po-on by the Filipino writer F. Sionil Jose. (I even got four people to read it! A huge success for me: I'm used to having people politely ignore my recommendations.) It is published outside the Philippines with the title Dusk, but don't worry about bad translations. Jose wrote the original in English! =)
If you will forgive some shameless self-promotion in the name of recommending a book I truly love, here is a post I wrote about its main character last year: Character Connection: Eustaquio "Istak" Salvador.
From among your favourites, I'd have to go with Rebecca.
Thanks for this chance! =)

The book I'd recommend changes at the moment it would Void by Georges Perec but an old favourite is Revolt of the Angels by Anatole France.Please put me down for Markus Zusak's book please as it's one I keep meaning to get.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
The literary fiction book that I usually recommend would be The Woman in White.

must.read.faster@gmail.com
I'd love the Book Thief!
ReplyDeleteYou've got several of my recommendations in your list and my all-time favourite is not actually fiction (and it's what I'm giving away, once my post goes live in a couple of hours)... But, something I think is quirky and a great reflection of my home, London is Geoff Ryman's 353 - a tale of one tube journey.
x liz(dot)clutterbuck(at)gmail...
I usually recommend The Poisonwood Bible, or something by Margaret Atwood when it comes to more recent literary fiction.
ReplyDeleteLike Melissa above, we must have similar taste in books, but there is one on the list that I haven't read--Cloud Atlas. I would love a chance to win!

I tend to recommend either books by Charles Dickens or Jane Austen when asked about literary classics by other people. Lets say Pride and Prejudice for the sake of this giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI would love to get The Book Thief by Markus Zusak as it is on my wishlist but I haven't managed to purchase it as yet.
Thanks.

Lately I have been recommending Tess of the D'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy quite a lot. It is a classic which I have recently reread and enjoyed. The Invisible Bridge by Julie Orringer has been my top contemporary read in the recent past.
ReplyDeleteIf I win your drawing, I would pick Cloud Atlas, as someone recently recommended it to me.
I think by now 'Cutting for Stone' must be the book I most often recommend.
ReplyDeleteAs for the list, I would choose The Poisonwood Bible, since I have had the book on my wishlist for birthdays for years but no one ever seems to buy it for me.
My email address is irisonbooks [at] gmail [dot] com
The book I recommend the most is The Secret History by Donna Tartt. I would like Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea as I seem to be on a Heminway roll this year. I read this book as a teenager but I think I'd like to read this as an adult.
ReplyDeleteMy e-mail: chasingbawa[at]gmail[dot]com
THE CLAN OF THE CAVE BEAR by Jean M. Auel was recommended to me & I have recommended it to others. Superb series.
ReplyDeleteI have worn out my copy so: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen thank you.
marypres(AT)gmail(DOT)com
I probably most recommend The Grapes of Wrath to people, or failing that, pretty much anything by Steinbeck! I'd love to win The Life of Pi by Yann Martel, because I've heard really good things about it!
ReplyDeletedevouringtexts[at]gmail[dot]com
I would recommend Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë :) i would like to have Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen...
ReplyDeleteRathouska.jana@gmail.com
I have read nine of the books listed, but not "The poisonous Bible" so i would choose that :)
ReplyDeleteThere are two or three books I always recommend or offered as a gift to my friends, and they are The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, The Passion, by Jeanette Winterson and The Little prince by Saint-Exupery.
allina_tomi(at)yahoo.com
Two of my favourite literary novels are 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' (gothic, witty, awesome) and 'The Secret History' (dark, bookish, awesome). I recommend them every chance I get!
ReplyDeleteI think I'd choose 'East of Eden' from the list, since I only have an ancient, brittle paperback of that one right now. Great selection, thanks!

susanna DOT pyatt AT student DOT rcsnc DOT org
What a great choice of books, Kristi! You know, I've read all but 2 of these? Still, I'd love a copy of East of Eden because that is one of my favorite books, but I don't own it myself. So, I'd be very happy if I won that.
ReplyDeleteThe book I recommend to people? It depends so much. I've just been blog-hopping at The Book Whisperer who is giving away Blindness by José Saramago - that book scores high on my list of Great Books (as does East of Eden).

coreenamcburnie at gmail dot com
My stand-by recommendation is always One Hundred Years of Solitude because it is so original. My recommendation for a current release is Galore by Michael Crummey. It also chronicles life in an isolated community, but without the magical realism. It's more...folksy. It's a very compelling tale.
ReplyDeleteI would like to win the Cloud Atlas. I've heard great things!
indiereaderhouston[at]gmail[dot]com
Lately I am recommending either Hemingway or Cormac McCarthy (specifically All The Pretty Horses or The Road) depending on the reader. I have been wanting to read The Book Thief for the longest time!

Thank you for being apart of the giveaway! (: I'm honestly not sure if I've read any literary fiction books, but after reading a comment on the blog and someone suggesting To Kill a Mockingbird, that brought me back to my high school years and what books we read then. I would probably suggest Catcher in the Rye, if that counts. That was one of the few books I loved in high school because a teenager can easily relate to Holden, with the life situations to the cursing, even. I would probably like to win The Book Thief (:
ReplyDeletevampyreprincess109@gmail.com
I always recommend To Kill a Mockingbird as a must read; it's a simple yet powerful book.

ReplyDeleteI make a lot of recommendations, and they usually depend on the tastes of the person I am recommending the book to. I recommend the Princess Bride by William Goldman a lot, because most people have seen the movie and not read the book, which is okay because he wrote the screenplay too. But I enjoy the commentary in the book.
I would love to win The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro. Thanks.

Thanks for hosting this giveaway, Kristi :) I love the list of your favourite books! I want to read 'The Poisonwood Bible' - I have it sitting on my shelf. 'The Woman in White', 'Pride and Prejudice', 'The Remains of the Day' (such luminous, dazzling prose by Ishiguro!), 'The Old Man and the Sea' (such a slim book, so great a masterpiece!) - all these are my favourites! I have to mention one more thing - there are 132 comments for this post. Mine is the 133rd. I have never seen so many comments in a book blog post before - not on 'meme' posts, not on giveaway posts. You are a star :)

1) This is a really tough question because I try to tailor my recommendations to specific people. The one that comes to mind lately is The Best Laid Plans by Terry Fallis, but that was due mostly to the election here.
ReplyDelete2) I'd love a chance to win The Remains of the Day.

1. I always recommend The Hours by Michael Cunningham, but I explain that the plot is pretty loose, but it's all about the characters and the words. I'm just in awe of his writing.

Life of Pi is definitely the book I would most recommend as I am in love with that book. It is one of my all time favourites. And do you know what? I don't actually own that book at the moment so I would most like to win a new copy to fill my bookshelf with so I can read it again and again and again! :)
ReplyDeleteI always recommend The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins. One of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell - been wanting to read that!
The literary fiction book I most often recommend is probably Life of Pi, actually. I think I prefer Cloud Atlas myself but it requires more work, and I don't often meet many readers.

One of my all-time favorites is The Return of the Native by Thomas Hardy. It sounds stuffy but is so full of life and passion. Though he's not for everyone. I'd love to receive The Book Thief. It's seems to be a favorite for so many people.

Hmm, the literary fiction book I most often recommend...probably The Wind-up Bird Chronicle, or Hard-boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, both by Haruki Murakami.
ReplyDeleteI've actually read all but one book in your list! So I'd love to win East of Eden, the one I haven't read, because I've heard such great things about it and have been meaning to for a while.
Thanks for the giveaway!

ReplyDeleteEmma by Jane Austen
ReplyDeleteI would like Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

The book I recommend the most happens to be "Pride & Prejudice" by Jane Austen. Especially to my female friends/acquaintances. I believe that author Jane Austen was a feminist, before feminism became a famous movement. Her female protagonists rebel against the norms, and make a niche for themselves in the hearts of male and female readers. Second to that (for those who don't much care for classics), is the recommendation for either "THE GOD OF SMALL THINGS" by Arundhati Roy or "The Poisonwood Bible" by Barbara Kingsolver.
ReplyDeleteI'd love for a chance to win/read "The Thirteenth Tale" by Diane Setterfield, since I've read almost all of the others, and it seems like it would be such an interesting book! :)

Gosh, I believe I recommend a lot of books, and have been doing that for sf & fantasy mostly lately ;) I'd say The Song of Everlasting Sorrow by Wang Anyi. It's such a beautiful tale of Shanghai and perfectly captures that so contemporary nostalgic longing of Chinese people for the past (a bit strange when you know that Shanghai has a semi-colonial past).
ReplyDeleteI like all the books from your list and have read some of them already. Because I've heard quite a lot of good things about The Book Thief by Markus Zusak lately, I'd love to be entered for that book :)

Thanks for running the contest! I'd love to read Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell - it's been on my list for a long time now. My recommendations change all the time, but the literary novel I'm shoving down people's throats at the moment is Evening is the Whole Day by Preeta Samarasan.
ReplyDeleteOops, forgot to leave my email :-)

Wow, what an awesome list! I've read -- or at least heard of -- all books, except for 'The Thirteenth Tale' by Diane Setterfield. So that'll have to be my choice! Especially since you put Cloud Atlas on your fav list; Mitchell is my favourite author of all time. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
AARGH. Forgot to add my recommendation. That's 'Maps for Lost Lovers' by Nadeem Aslam. I picked it up a few years ago because it had a promotional quote by David Mitchell on the cover -- became my instant favourite of the year once I'd read it! Aslam is one of my other fav authors ever since. His imagery is just plain gorgeous. :)

My recommendations change so often. Right now it's Maurice by EM Forster (both book and film are recommended!).
ReplyDeleteThis is a great list of books. I'd love to be entered for The Book Thief please. :)
veronicasbook at gmail dot com
Hi! I most often recommend The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. I'd like to win The Book Thief. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful choices (and so hard to choose from, too!)
ReplyDeleteMy literary recommendation depends on the reader: For younger readers, The Book Thief and The Giver
For young adults (especially females): Jane Eyre
For people who aren't afraid of dark reads: The Road
The list could go on; there are just way too many good books out there, and each reader will have their own take and taste for them.
Because I recently read Drood, I've become interested in Wilkie Collins, so I would have to choose The Woman in White (although I still keep waffling between it, The Remains of the Day, and The Thirteenth Tale).
Thanks so much for the chance to win!
