I couldn't possibly choose only one book to be my ultimate favorite as I have so many favorites! :) I tagged about forty books as 'favorite.' Fell free to view my catalog.
LOL! I know what you mean. I tagged some of mine with "best fiction ever" I ended up with 43 that had that tag!
My "desert island" book would be
Wuthering Heights. As it is, I can quote whole passages.
Pride and Prejudice comes in a close second. Lonesome Dove is also a favorite (Shakespeare of the old west).
Bel Canto made me laugh and cry...
Far Pavillions was beautifully written. George RR Martin's
Song of Fire and Ice series takes me far away from this world. Yes, it certainly is hard to narrow the field!

My absolute favorite book, and this coming from reading it as a teenager, is
Mine by
Robert McCammon. Coming in second is anything that Julie Garwood has written.
Forgot to mention
A Prayer for Owen Meaney. What a fantastic book that was! LOL so many times. Sobbed like a baby at the end. A modern classic.

I think I'm having deja vu. I thought I answered this, but there is no answer listed.
Anyway, my favorite book is
Twilight by
Stephenie Meyer. I think she did an awsome job writing a wonderful book.
My favorite author is
Rachel Caine. I've really enjoyed everything I've read by her so far.
Bookmarque, many good choices there! Have you read Jamaica Inn also by DuMauier? Very good.
Yes I have read Jamaica Inn - ages ago. I remember it being very moody, dark and quite sinister. Smuggling, the moors, betrayal, murder - jam packed with the milk of human kindness. ; ) I should probably read it again.
Oooh, we were just mentioning how good Jamaica Inn is in the audio version. Yep, plenty of murder, mayhem, etc., and dark, moody, dark!
Oh I thought this thread would be about authors who are 'good at' cats! My vote would have been for T S Eliot, Baudelaire and William Carlos Williams, with the Japanese woodblock artists like Hiroshige representing the best visual artists at representing the true essence of a cat.
As for favourite book ever - pfft, that changes daily and throughout the day!
My favorite novel has finally been narrowed down to
Speaker For The Dead by
Orson Scott Card, a fantastic book that I cannot help but see as having affected the way I look at life in a very positive way.

The Godfather. Puzo. Hands down. It's on another level. Brotherhood of the Rose (morrell) would be one of my next favs.
Catch 22 by Joseph Heller. And there's a cat in the book (not merely the one in the title ;)) -Huple's cat that sleeps on Hungry Joe's face.

I have so many favorites that the term is almost meaningless, but
To Kill a Mockingbird would definitely be in the top five.
