What's your mammy and daddy's favourite book, Veeky Forums?

dad

Brighton rock
catcher in the rye

mom is dead

My mom lieks Margaret Atwood's "Cat's Eye".

they dont read, and I'm sure my dad has the literacy level of a primary schooler

My dad really likes The Hunt for Red October and other Tom Clancy novels.

No idea what my mom particularly likes, but I know she's very well read on Charles Dickens at least

Dad :

The Castle by Kafka

Mom:

I don't know for certain. She loves Shakespears sonnets dearly. And i know she hates Kenzaburo Oe.

It appears i have the most patrician parents in the thread. Weird.

Never met my dad.

Don't talk to my mom.

No one loves me.

go fucking cry me a rocket

Dad's favourite is Filth

Mom's favourite is Black Beauty

any reason in particular why she hates Oe?

Neither of my parents read anything beyond takeout menus.

My dad's is The Stranger, my mother's is Middlemarch

Mom loves Austen and any mystery novels; Dad doesn't read fiction often, but he's all about self help and speculative/questioning religious works...his favorite's probably that 7 Habits of Highly Successful People or w/e

My mom only reads American Protestant apologists and the Bible, and my dad gave me a copy of The Communist Manifesto when I was 13, so he probably likes some Marxist shit.

mammy - tale of genji
pappy - no country for old men

reminder that if you don't respect your parents you're not going to heaven

Dad only reads non-fiction. I think his favorite is A Short History of Nearly Everything if I recall correctly.

My mom only reads romance trash, no clue what her favorite is.

came here to post this.
I don't think either of my parents have ever read a novel.

Dad's is probably An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding or maybe Critique of Pure Reason. Although lately I guess it's some bullshit management self-help thing like 'The No-Asshole Rule' or 7 Habits of Highly Successful People.

Mom's is probably A People's History of the United States or some other piece of relatively tame far-left propaganda, although she doesn't really read books these days so much as blogs. Quite frankly they've both rather deteriorated in their reading habits.

Dad: The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.

Mum: Life of Pi

Both love detective fiction and anything involving spies/nazis

Mommy likes Maya Angelou, Dad likes Douglas Coupland. We're upper-middle class white liberal Canadians, but I guess that's obvious.

who doesn't 2bh

Go dog go and those historical fiction books that are super popular

You mean Spot?

My dad's favorite book ever is The Bible he's read the whole thing all the way through about 4 times and is starting on his 5th re-reading/study. He's pretty much the exact opposite of all the Religious Right cunts who don't even talk about what Jesus said half the time though and has voted Liberal in the last several elections and listens to me when I go on rants about Socialism and Communism

His second favorite is The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and after that I'm pretty sure it's True Grit

IDK if my mom has ever read a non-diet related book because she has an eating disorder/manic depression

>my face when growing up constantly hearing about the intricacies of the Bible and all it's self-contradictions and whether or not Jesus actually said half the shit that's attributed to him and all the philosophical implications and existential interpretations of the New Testament and how they compare to the Old Testament in one ear and why I should go on a 1,000 calorie a day no-carb diet with an omega-3 supplement while drinking protein shakes on the other

dad - fantasy, occasional sci-fi. not sure about favorites but he likes grrm and lem

mom - forbidden archeology

My Dad is probably something by Dean Koontz. Maybe LOTR. He's give up on reading, his health, and all ambition. My mom really likes this Christian author Francine Rivers. She went through a phase where she felt the need to push it on everyone she knew.

Saying that I love you would be a lie, but I do care user.

People spamming the fedora really don't know what it's like to grow up in the south do they?

I've never asked him, but judging by what I remember him reading as a kid... either Dune, The Stainless Steel Rat, or Red Storm Rising.

My mother's favorite book is The Hobbit/The Silmarillion

this thread is fascinating

My Mom loves any thing by Patricia Cornwell
My Dad tells everyone he meats to read Tarzan.
The man who was like a second Father to me always kept three books next to his desk, 1.Hegel's Lectures on the Philosophy of History
2. The updates to the IRS tax codes
3. How to Spank Girls A BDSM Guide to Punishment and pleasure (He was a excellent disciplinarian)

Dad is a high school English teacher, so he actually reads literature. At a Catholic school as well, so he tends away from more common "high school" books.

Mom is a librarian, but she's much more into fantasy.

Want to hear about this third man.

Need some info on the third gentleman, old sport.

mom's is tom sawyer or harry potter

dad's is the bible

And you fucking failed to name thier favourite books.

Good bait, cunt.

I suspect its the third title you are interested in. The best way I can put things is I fell in love with the odd man down the streets puppy, and I just kind of became a part of his life, he hated children and I had behave how he wanted me to or I would get a time out on is steps. I was a good girl and when I started school he was the person who helped me with homework. it was all normal until I was in middle school and I started failing my English classes. I had issues writing the way my teacher wanted I need help big time so he came up with a system were I got one hour for free-rain on his high speed internet a day if I was applying myself to the reading response log for the books he wanted me to read, starting with all of Shakespeare (This was back in 1996). I finished Shakespeare in the winter of 8th grade; Then he gave me a non fiction book on Domination and Submission. It was at this point I started spending more then the hour I was allowed on the Internet. He had a key logger. And he told me had something wanted to show me, what was in the locked trunk he used has a coffee table in his study, It was full of paddles, whips, floggers, cuffs and he had a few ball gags in there too. He then told me if I spent more then my hour on the internet or if I kept up my slacking on my writing responses I would find out how the things in the trunk worked. I found the idea of him using them on me to be masturbation fuel. The Next day when I was on his computer I looked up porn with people using the items in questions. I got caught looking, and he told me if I was so keen on knowing he would demonstrate on my butt. But first I had to agree to never tell my parents about his use of corporal punishment and we need a safe word in if it was to much for me. My butt was Red by the time he was finished and loving comforting hugs that came after filled me with felling that made the pain feel right and the act of him doing it on me was extremely erotic. Things just kinda heated up from their. Until he retired and moved when I was 17. He told me he wanted to marry me but I was under age and he thought my Dad would kill him. He also told me unless I has a ring on my finger he refused to take my virginity, and he did not care to breed a 17 year old girl. He passed away due to cancer when i was in my second year in University. It was a shock to his at the time of his death girlfriend to find his collection of BDSM gear, and his journals of his activities with me, that his will said I got to keep. Needless to say I miss him to this day.

I don't know and I don't want to know.

isn't it pottery

Dad I don't think has ever read a book.
He used to have The Hunt for Red October sitting on his table for like 10 years. He'd crack it open once every 6 months and read a couple pages and then go back to drinking.

Mom just reads 1 meme YA book every couple of years. The last book she read was Life of Pi. She tried to give it to me the last time I visited her and I left it there. I feel kind of bad about it but whatever, the fact that she'd even recommend it to me shows that she has no interest in me as an actual person. If she don't know me by now she will never ever never know me.
She also orders a lot of really, really pathetic romance pennydreadfuls in the mail. They are all over her house, but I'm not sure if she actually reads them or not.

Dad: Plato's Symposium
Mum: Gone With the Wind

The closest either of my parents have gotten to reading literature was when my Dad started reading To Kill a Mockingbird after he found out Harper Lee died.

I asked him about it later and found out that he dropped it half-way because it didn't have enough action.

Is your Dad gay?

Dad doesn't read
Not sure about my mom's but if I asked her she'd probably just say the Bible even though she's never actually read the whole thing

He openly identifies as bisexual but I think he's more gay leaning because of his flamboyant metrosexuality and his seeming disinterest in mum, or maybe that's because they've been married so long.

Don't know about my mom. Something by Steinbeck for my dad.

how are they together

Seriously I want more info from this user. This could make a good sitcom

>He openly identifies as bisexual

Mom: Platero y Yo by Juan Ramón Jiménez
Dad: Something about spies, John le Carré probably.

Dad: Thomas Hardy maybe Jude the Obscure
Mum: uhhh i have a hard time remembering as its more contemprary she loves de Maurier though

they don't really read, at least not anymore

my dad has a lot of neo-noirs set in Florida and California and the like, he's real big on anything that falls between Jimmy Buffet and Tarantino in theory, though I don't think he's really finished any. he also read some hemingway and tom clancy back in the day.

my mom ... I wouldn't even know. she used to read old lady detective novels like where the tea is poisoned or whatever and some guy kills his wife. she's read a little kafka but it's not her thing

TLDR : PLEBS

Mom: The Brothers Karamazov
Dad: dunno, never asked before he died. He liked crime thrillers and historical fiction though.

My mother liked Ulysses, or says she did. Father doesn't read except for maybe the Bible. It's been months since I've talked to or seen them, maybe I should call tonight.

my dad doesnt read anymore, used to read baldacci

mom reads romance books like they are narcotics

mom and dad don't read, at all, and I grew up with my grandparents. Both of them probably either the bible or something John Grisham.

My mother only reads self help books, her favorites being The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People and The Millionaire Next Door.

My father is extremely well read in philosophy. He knows everything from the poems of Sufi and Hafez, Thomas Aquinas, and New Thought to Hinduism, the existentialists, and pagan theology.

Mom: No idea. She reads a lot of Allende, but I don't know if that's her favourite.
Dad: Garcia Marquez, I guess. He's probably read all of his big novels at least five times. In my country, he is everything

really makes you think

>not being bisexual

In my experience bisexuals tend to be reclusive and psychopathic.

Dad: Moby Dick, Don Quixote, can quote Shakespeare, The Bible, non fiction books about 1700s and 1800s American history (mostly the Civil War, John Wilkes Booth, Lincoln)

Mom: The Bible, Bible errata (Dead Sea Scrolls, lost Gnostic texts), Little House on the Prarie, Anne of Green Gables, various cookbooks, at one time (I have no clue) I saw her reading The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.

My dad beat me once when I was a 14 year old edgelord for saying something about Christianity being herd mentality. Another time he sent me upstairs to my room for calling Napoleon "extraordinary", I think he was probably just irritated with me over other shit during this fiasco. Anyways, they're knowledgable and somewhat cultured on any number of things but they were staunch in their mainline American Protestant sensibilities.

Dad - Fantasy

Mom - Detective Fiction

...

Daddy - Fantasy

Mommy - Detective Fiction

Same with a lot of the people who go on this site, what's your point?

My dad reads, has okay taste. He's read a decent amount of good SFF (ex. Heinlein et al), and good literature besides. Reads a lot of modern stuff. I don't know what his favourite books is, however.

My mum doesn't read for shit, although she's tried (not with anything good, though; "book club" books). She just doesn't really want to read, I think. Although she reads enough for her job.

Dunno. For mum it might be one of the Austen novels, or Jane Eyre, or Germinal are books I've seen her like. For dad it's probably something sci-fi, like a Banks Culture novel. Or a Dawkins book lol.

They don't have favourites because they're not seven years old.

>liking things is juvenile

Why don't you and your bff have a sleepover where you can gossip about your favourite books and how I'm such a meanie?

Excuse me serious question do you have autism?

My dad's favourite book IIRC, I need to read it sometime - its only like 120 pages.

Diddums.

lol UMAD xDDD

My dad references The Republic by Plato a lot, truly cringeworthy most of the time.

My mom has re-read Little Women by Alcott several times, her fixation with books about little girls growing up saddens me.

Almost no one in my family consumes any form of culture.

She probably just misses her youth.

t. Manchild addicted to coming of age stories.

My mom is dead, but she read a ton of Stephen King books. Her favorite was The Stand.

I've never seen my dad read a book.

How the fuck do so many of your parents read such serious books?

Dad probably the Cambridge History of Japan whichever volume involved the Portugese waxing and waning influence in Japanese affairs. Dad's a weeaboo. When I told him I was reading The Temple of the Golden Pavillion he asked me 'why are you reading that madman?' like he was afraid I was studying up on how to throw a revolutionary coup. Or suck a dick, one or the other.

Mom not sure. She likes Michael Connelly and Dennis Lehane and some New Orleans detective writer. Whichever Connelly one had a tie-in to Edgar Allen Poe is the one she really raved about. Though she also was impressed with Shutter Island to an embarrassing degree.

Yup, that (to an extent) describes my dad.

Haven't read the book, but the film is one of the best westerns ever.

Articles on Breitbart

My mom loved People Magazine. Horrible gossip rag, but she was also a huge film buff. She got me into film at a young age. So, it's forgiven.

my mother reads a lot but usually only easy-reading stuff like Maeve Binchy
if she finds a book she likes she reads every book by that same writer
