30 Days of Me

Day 04 — Your favorite book

By: M&S Literary Adventures

While yesterday’s was really hard today’s is not. My favorite book is easily A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. I love the story line and even though it takes me a little longer to read than most because the language can be difficult I read it at least once a year. The love story is amazing and make no mistake about it, this is a love story! While there is intrigue and suffering, and many other aspects to this wonderful book in the end it all comes down to one man’s love of a woman. He loves her so much that he gives his own life so that she may have the one she loves. It doesn’t get any better than that!

  1. I’ve actually never read it before. But I should i often hear references to the book. My favorite book is east of Eden by John Steinbeck.

  2. You know, I’ve read quite a bit of Dickens but A Tale of Two Cities is the one title I’ve never read. I will have to check it out. I don’t know that I have just one favorite book, but one that I read and loved in recent years is The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. It too centers on a powerful love story and raises interesting questions about fate vs. free will. I first read it when I was pregnant with my first child and loved it so much I packed it in my hospital bag when I was ready to deliver!

  4. I love Tale of Two Cities it’s a classic. It’s one of those books that everyone should read at least once in their lives.

  5. I have not read the Tale of two Cities, but I want to read it! I do not know why I have not read it by now, but you have my curiosity up!

  6. I never read a tale of two cities, it was required in high school, but there were other options, and I was in no way interested in it.

  7. I haven’t read that book…yet. I love those classics too, how did I ever miss it?

    Thanks for sharing!

    I have read Little Women and Jane Eyre, those are good classics too.

  8. Yep I have read the book and it isnt too bad although I dont reread it as often as you do 🙂 I read a lot, and I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite…

  9. Any book that has words in it is my favorite;)

    I do really like Dan Brown though.

    I used to read a lot of Danielle STeele when I was a young mom and wanted to escape my boring but crazy “mom” life!

    Oh and have not read A Tale of Two Cities since probably Lit class. I don’t even remember what it was about. I need to re read the classics.

  11. I have not actually read A Tale of Two Cities. It’s on my list now, though!

    I almost have to break down my favorite books into categories, but if I had to choose one, other than the Bible, I would say John Milton’s “Paradise Lost”. It’s an allegorical story, in the form of a narrative, epic poem, about the fall of mankind. It’s a fantastic perspective on the Biblical narrative of the fall of mankind.
