Classic: Far from the Madding crowd - Thomas Hardy.
Beautifully written describing a classic class divide romance in a far simpler time.
Modern: My legendary girlfriend - Mike Gayle.
New Teacher discovers he hates kids; teaching; London etc. And hankers for 'the one that got away' to the point of laughable lunacy.
Wonderful.
Factual: An evil cradling - Brian Keenan.
University lecturer from Ireland goes to Lebanon to teach only to get caught and captured by a militant group at the start of the civil war during the 90's.
Not for the feint of heart. Occasionally quite visceral. Exhausting to read but fantastically written.
Autobiography: Absolute pandemonium - Brian Blessed.

[i]The Good Earth Trilogy[/i] by Pearl S. Buck
It's an amazing and thought-provoking Chinese epic about a poor farmer who builds his own wealth up from rags to riches, and raises 3 sons and one daughter who all take very different paths in life according to how their childhood influenced them. It spans 4 generations and is the most beautifully written and authentic portrayal of 19th and 20th century China.

My favorite book is entitled "The Art of the Deal" by Donald J. Trump.
The reason it's my favorite book is because it fits perfectly under the short leg of my coffee table which got broken during a house party I threw, making Donald's hard cover masterpiece the obvious answer to my problem.
