I find it rather difficult to say which book is my favourite because I am fond of reading and I usually read a lot.

My favourite authors are: Bernard Shaw (I like his plays which are full of sparkling humour), John Galsworthy (when I read his Forsyte Saga I was astonished by his profound description of several generations), Jane Austen (her beautiful English sounds like music to me), William Somerset Maugham (I enjoy his "Theatre" every time I need a rest), Lewis Carrol (once I got amused by the way he plays with English and I find every sentence fascinating), Clive Lewis and JRR Tolkien (they both managed to leave so much for the reader to think about).
One of the lasts book I read was by G. Chesterton. It was reading for pleasure as I always find Father Brown absolutely sincere, open-hearted and very sensible.
Not long ago I discovered Wodehouse. Brilliant English humour, modern language, exciting intrigue - all that make the reading most amusing.
Honestly, I like English literature most of all. Nevertheless, when I do some reading in Russian I usually reread V.Losski or Ivan Ilyin. Actually, they are philosophers, and they are very dear to me.
