I would love to win a copy of The Perks of being a Wallflower, please pop my name into your hat:-) One of the best books read this year, The Glass Castle, would highly recommend if you have not yet read it. Also currently reading Shades by Marguerite Poland, stunning book so would have to add that one in too. Here's hoping and Happy Hopping! (purplerob2atgmaildotcom)
ReplyDeleteMostly I recommend To Kill A Mockingbird, but I have recently read a very powerful book: Beloved by Tony Morrison.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to get Wilkie Collins' The Woman in White if I win.
joviemaria at yahoo dot com
I most often recommend Pride and Prejudice as it's my all time favourite book, although recently I have loved anything by Chris Cleave. I would choose Villette from your list because I have nominated that book for my Classics Club challenge.My email is emmatingay@optusnet.com.au
ReplyDelete1. I love to recommend the classics, especially Dickens and Poe!
ReplyDelete2. I'd pick The Poisonwood Bible!
3. danaan at gmx dot at
I most often recommend Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates as it's so incredibly powerful in terms of emotions (and also a brilliant film).
ReplyDeleteI would pick Lolita to read (it's a difficult decision).
Thanks for offering a great giveaway! My email is samstillreading[at]gmail[dot]com
Pride and Prejudice is the book I always recommend. Always!
ReplyDeleteMy choice here would be the Shirley Jackson book.
mystica123athotmaildotcom
I most often recommend books by Anthony Trollope - soothing and reliable, like a good cup of tea...
ReplyDeleteI'd prefer the Hemingway book as I've got most of the others ;)
tonysreadinglist at y7mail dot com
Thanks :)
I mostly recommend a book I've read recently. At this time, I would recommend "Game of Thrones", but that's not really a literary fictional book (or at least I think so). I do really love the stories of Sherlock Holmes, so I always recommend that ones. In this giveaway I would really like to win "Lolita". It has been on my wishlist on The Book Depository for forever! My email: _wendy@hotmail.nl
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining the hop. What do I recommend? I'm not sure, for classics I choose Dickens, more modern David Mitchell, maybe - The Thousands Autumns of Jacob the Zoet for instance.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson because I've heard of it, but not read it.
I'm leeswammes @ gmail.com
Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea what to recommend really because I usually recommend the newest awesome book I have read. But I loved Eat, Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. I am not sure if it counts as literary though.
I would like to win the night circus.
cynni _ universe (at) hotmail.com
Most recommended is probably The Night Circus or To Kill A Mockingbird. I would like to win We Have Always Lived in the Castle please. Email address is thetangledwebweweave (at) gmail (dot) com
ReplyDeleteThanks!
1. I recommend To Kill a Mockingbird allll the time, or I just go STEINBECK IS MY FAVOURITE, which usually suffices!
ReplyDelete2. I would like We Have Always Lived in the Castle like EVERYONE ELSE HERE, apparently! But I do love me some Shirley Jackson.
3. devouringtexts [at] gmail [dot] com
I most often recommend Interpreter of Maladies and A Thousand Splendid Suns.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win The Old Man and the Sea.
I oftern recommend Jane Austen's books Persuasion and Pride and Prejudice because I loved them!
ReplyDeleteI would like to win Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern :)
Thank you for the international giveaway!
milkristia(at)hotmail(dot)com
My recommendation is I Capture The Castle by Dodie Smith...if it's considered literary! :)
ReplyDeleteI would like to win The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. Thanks for the giveaway.
josettebooks[at]yahoo[dot]com
Such a GREAT selection of choices! I find it very difficult to come up with one book I most often recommend, perhaps because I'm cautious with titles I truly love out of fear someone won't like it. To blogging friends I lately recommend Tender Morsels by Margo Lanagan very often. It's YA and Fantasy, so might not be defined as Literary Fiction by some, but it is so so good.
ReplyDeleteYou list quite a few books that I'm interested in! I'd love to be entered :) If I were to win, I think I'd choose the Poisonwood Bible as that's a book I've been meaning to read for forever.
Thank you so much for the giveaway!
irisonbooks [at] gmail [dot] com
Lately I recommend East of Eden by John Steinbeck. I think it is often one I have recently read.
ReplyDeleteI would like to win We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson.

ReplyDeleteI always rant over people's ignorance if they haven't even heard of Ernest Hemingway. :) But seriously, I absolutely always recommend his "A Moveable Feast" - one of the most memorable reads of my life. I almost exclusively devote my time to classics, but for some reason, once I saw Night Circus by Morgenstern on your list... I felt an impulse towards it. Strange, since it's the first time I see it. Thank you for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteSorry, I had to delete my previous post because I forgot to include my email address. Here it is: houseofbronze14@gmail.com
Hi Kristi! You have some great books on your list--including the one I probably recommend more than any other, The Remains of the Day by Ishiguro. What a perfect book.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win any of these, but especially Rebecca as I have it on my classics club list. Thanks for the giveaway!
At the moment I'm recommending 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' left, right and centre - people are mentioning it in our bookshop because of the film so it's a prime opportunity for me to tell them all how great it is! I also push Donna Tartt's 'The Secret History' as often as I can, because it's such a great intelligent page-turner.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd have to go for 'The Poisonwood Bible' as my choice from the list - I've heard so many wonderful things about it, but we haven't had a copy through the shop yet and I haven't spotted it in any of my local bookshops or charity shops either. Thanks for the chance to remedy my Kingsolver deficiency!

emp501 (at) hotmail (dot) co (dot) uk
I always recommend The Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill. It's everything I like - historical, well-written and by a Canadian. (Known as Someone Knows My Name in the US.)
ReplyDeleteFrom your list I would choose The Poisonwood Bible. I've been wanting to read it since my first year of university (11 years ago!) and it's on my list for the Around the World in 80 Books Challenge I'm participating in.
good books and a cup of tea (at) live (dot) com
I often recommend Little Women or To Kill A Mockingbird if they want a wonder classic. Of the choices above I would pick either Cloud Atlas, The Perks of Being A Wallflower or The Remains of the Day (I am still thinking which one would win :)). Thanks for the giveaway!

ReplyDeleteThank you for the giveaway!
ReplyDelete1. I most often recommend authors more than books, primarily Ian McEwan and Kazuo Ishiguro. If I were to pick a book I recommend a lot, it would be Bleak House. People oftentimes ask me which Dickens book I recommend since I took a class and have a growing obsession.
2. I would like to win Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell. I own/have read most of the other books on that list - you have excellent taste!
3. My email address is lostgenerationreader[at]gmail[dot]com

The literary fiction works which I have recommended this year include The Little Stranger and The Night Circus, as well as the classic Anna Karenina. My book club went along with all three suggestions, and though not all three were well loved, we did have interesting discussions. We even saw Erin Morgenstern in person as she discussed The Night Circus, and I learned that the Harry Potter film people (whomever those may be) are making The Night Circus into a film. So that's something to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteAs to the books from your list, the very first one catches my interest. I have been seeing a lot about Cloud Atlas, and even the film for that book seems interesting. Although I'll always be a book person before movie. :)

My most recommended is Rebecca because I read it this year and absolutely loved it. I've never read Pride & Prejudice though so that'd definitely be the book I picked from the list. Thanks for the awesome giveaway! (jae [at] booknympho [dot] com)
ReplyDeleteI love your list - if I haven't read it, I most probably have it in my TBR. I've been recommending Perla by Carolina de Robertis lately - I thought it was such an amazing take on a very difficult subject matter. I'd love to win either Night Circus or Cloud Atlas. Decisions decisions! :)

I most often recommend Pride & Prejudice. It was stored on my shelf for years, the few times I picked it up I didn't reach very far. I decided to give it ago a few months ago and I loved it, it was surprising how much I enjoyed the book and loved the characters so I always recommend it to my friends. I'd love to win Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell. Thank you! :)
ReplyDeleteMy email address is visabellad(at)gmail.com
DeleteI recommend many classic books,however,lately it has been "To Kill a Mockingbird". I first read it at 14 for English Class and it was my first understanding of an early view of racism. It is still relative in 2012 in my opinion. I pick the "Cloud Atlas" from your awesome list. I have it on my list of must read. I am delighted as a copy comes to me.

Hard to pick a favorite literary classic....there are so many I love. When I was a little girl, my favorite was Robinson Crusoe. Now that I am older though, I think my favorite is between To Kill A Mockingbird and Gone With The Wind. :) Thanks for your giveaway. If I win I "think" I will choose Cloud Atlas as I've never read it. :) It has turned cold where I live, so it would be perfect to curl up by the fireplace with a good "new" book. :) Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteOoops, forgot my contact info.....
ReplyDeletecsizemore@centurytel.net
Again, thank you.

ReplyDeleteThe literary fiction book I recommend the most is Po-on by F. Sionil Jose. (Sometimes it is published with the title Dusk.) It starts out as the story of one man, soon turns into the saga of his extended family, and ultimately reveals itself to be an epic about an entire nation. It's set during two crucial decades of Philippine history, and every time I recommend it to a non-Filipino, I always worry that he won't like it or will find it hard to follow . . . and I always see that my worry is for naught. Everyone I've ever recommended this to has been very moved by it, and so I suggest it again and again. =)
If my name is drawn, I'd choose We Have Always Lived in the Castle.
Thank you! =)

It depends on who I'm talking to, but I do recommend Jane Austen quite a lot.

ReplyDeleteA book that I always end up recommending to others is The Collector by John Fowles. It's dark, creepy and one of the most powerful books I've ever read.
