Well I think most people would say like Romeo and Juliet.
But honestly I really enjoy the books by the author Zane. |

Well. Antyhing by Nicholas Sparks. He's a romance writer and his books make me so damn teary-eyed. :(
So sweet. Sometimes. Except when people die. |

Does it have to be a complete romance book? If not Books by Jennifer Crusie. They are part romance-y and part other stuff. Same with some of Janet Evanovich's . So those two people I don't have a favorite book because I love them all.
If not umm I'll get back to you. |

yeah, i think anything by nicholas sparks is a good romance novel. granted, he has the same theme and sometimes it's really predictable, but i like the imagery he can bring. and plus they take place in really romantic scenes.

For some reason, I couldn't stand to read Pride and Prejudice. I couldn't get through the second page and had to stop reading returned it back to the library.

QUOTE Well I think most people would say like Romeo and Juliet. I love how no one's said Romeo and Juliet yet  I didn't even think of that one when I saw this forum.Anyway, this is going to sound dumb, but Twilight is perhaps the best one I'VE read...granted, I don't really read Jane Austen, more like Victor Hugo or Leo Tolstoy for me, but Twilight was beautiful a lot of the time. Again, I don't really read romance... |

Romeo and Juliet was one of the most pathetic failures at a romance novel I've ever read. =_= I seriously hated it, ahha I'm not sure... I might hav to say Twilight. :P |

I liked Romeo and Juliet.
I don't read a lot of romance. But if I have to pick one, then I guess I'd pick Breakfast at Tiffany's. |

I don't read romance novels. The only one I've read was called Nights in Rodanthe by Nicholas Sparks and it was ridiculously boring and predictable. Yet hooking and bittersweet and mellow.

i LIVE for the "anita blake series" by laurell k. hamilton... it's vampires, were-critters, strippers, magic, zombies... they're awesome... although a bit graphic
 and the "sleeping beauty trilogy" by anne rice (under a pen name...) also graphic, but fun... my stepmom used to read nora roberts like it was her job!

Nicholas Sparks pretty much disgusts me; all of his novels follow the same romance novel formula, but with a slightly different twist each time. I find that he's pretty much hit or miss with people--moreso a hit with the less literate and a miss with the more literate. Makes sense.
I'm not big on romance, and it's kind of sad that the first one that came to mind that I recently read was Christopher Moore's Bloodsucking Fiends, which was less than impressive. I'm a big fan of John Irving's storytelling skills, especially in Until I Find You, which has somewhat of a romance subplot in it. A Widow for One Year is an even better one of his more romance-related novels. |

He's the biggest a-hole in real life. I remember last year his kid started going to our school and he got beat up in the student parking lot because he was acting like a hot shot.

Any book with a happy ending by Sarah Dessen. A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks is sweet as well.
