Favorite Book Quotes

We don't need to have just one favorite. We keep adding favorites. Our favorite book is always the book that speaks most directly to us at a particular stage in our lives. And our lives change. We have other favorites that give us what we most need at that particular time. But we never lose the old favorites. They're always with us. We just sort of accumulate them. Lloyd Alexander
John McCarthy quote: "Asking a critic to name his favorite book is like asking a..."
Asking a critic to name his favorite book is like asking a butcher to name his favorite pig. John McCarthy
You might have a favorite book or film, but you can only watch or read it so many times before you have to let it sit and then go back and realize it's your favorite still. At some point everything gets a little stale and you have to step away from it. Les Claypool
Suzanne Collins quote: "Her book series the Hunger Games is my new favorite book..."
Her book series the Hunger Games is my new favorite book series. So glad I read them. Katniss is such an amazing character! Suzanne Collins
People come, people go – they’ll drift in and out of your life, almost like characters in a favorite book. When you finally close the cover, the characters have told their story and you start up again with another book, complete with new characters and adventures. Then you find yourself focusing on the new ones, not the ones from the past. Nicholas Sparks
I’m not the smartest guy in the world, but I’m certainly not the dumbest. I mean, I’ve read books like "The Unbearable Lightness of Being" and "Love in the Time of Cholera", and I think I’ve understood them. They’re about girls, right? Just kidding. But I have to say my all-time favorite book is Johnny Cash’s autobiography "Cash" by Johnny Cash. Nick Hornby
Maybe the best thing to do with favorite books is to leave them be: to achieve such exalted position means that they entered your life at exactly the right time, in precisely the right place, and those conditions can never be recreated. Nick Hornby
Neil Gaiman quote: "Picking five favorite books is like picking the five body..."
Picking five favorite books is like picking the five body parts you'd most like not to lose. Neil Gaiman
You see, what I really want, and what I'm getting with Stephen, is the opportunity to rebuild myself from scratch. David's picture of me is complete now, and I'm pretty sure neither of us likes it much; I want to rip the page out and start again on a fresh sheet, just like I used to do when I was a kid and had messed a drawing up. It doesn't even matter who the fresh sheet is, really, so its beside the point whether I like Stephen, or whether he knows what to do with me in bed, or anything... Nick Hornby
James Patterson quote: "It was like meeting someone out of your dreams, or fantasies,..."
It was like meeting someone out of your dreams, or fantasies, or a beloved character from a favorite book. James Patterson
A couple of months ago, I became depressed by the realization that I'd forgotten pretty much everything I've ever read. I have, however, bounced back: I am now cheered by the realization that if I've forgotten everything I've ever read then I can read some of my favorite books again as if for the first time. Nick Hornby
William Goldman quote: "This is my favorite book in all the world, though I have never..."
This is my favorite book in all the world, though I have never read it. William Goldman
When Oscar Wilde was asked in an interview to list his 100 favorite books he said he could not. When asked why, he replied, 'Because I have only written five. Oscar Wilde
Hilary Swank quote: "'Oh, the Places You'll Go!,' by Dr. Seuss, is still one of my..."
'Oh, the Places You'll Go!,' by Dr. Seuss, is still one of my favorite books ever. Hilary Swank
Marcel Proust quote: "There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully..."
There are perhaps no days of our childhood we lived so fully as those we spent with a favorite book. Marcel Proust
