My favorite book, well actually my favorite two books are Ishmael and Self-Raised which were written by E.D.E.N Southworth in the 1800's. They are really one story, the story of Ishmael Worth. From what I understand there has been some debate over whether or not the story is true. It doesn't matter, the first 5 chapters of Ishmael are the most boring, long suffering you will ever read. You'll wonder why you're reading the book, after that, you won't be able to put the book down. It took me three weeks to read the first five chapters and five days to read the rest of the book and Self-Raised. I couldn't put it down. You can find them on ebay sometimes or get them from Lamplighter publishing who has the rights to reprint them.
