Hey all, I've been looking for some good books to read. I really love historical-fiction novels and documentaries. I just finished reading Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver and I recommend it! What are your favorite books? |

Hi Skzz! I would recommend to you anything by Umberto Eco, his books are a feast of imagination, history and intelligence! I also recommend Alexandar Hemon´s "The question of Bruno" and if you can find The Christmas oratorio : a novel / by Göran Tunström, well, then you´re in luck! Happy read! ------------- The more you complain, the longer God lets you live. |

I dont know if its your taste, because alot of people dont enjoy her stories, but I personally think Jackie Collins has some terrific books. I just finished reading Rock Star and I loved it every minute of it. The World is Full of Married Men by Jackie is also a great book. I also like Danielle Steel- The Long Road Home, Bittersweet and Vanished.

I second the opinion about Umberto Eco. Loved "The Name of the Rose."

I cannot believe no one has mentioned Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. Best book ever written. Hehe I've been reading that book over and over since I was like 8 (15 now), it's such a moving story. "I pray one prayer, I repeat it till my tongue stiffens, Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living! You said I killed you, haunt me, then!... Be with me always, take any form, drive me mad, only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you!... I cannot live without my life. I cannot die without my soul." Swooooon Heathcliff! ------------- "You were the movie of my life, starring you instead of me" |

| Yeay, Wuthering Heights!! But don't forget Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë, it's really good too. And anything by Margaret Atwood, especially Alias Grace. |

Hmm. . . pretty much anything by H.G. Wells or Jules Verne *likes classic science-fiction* . . . Dr. Jackyll and Mr. Hyde (actually a very sad story, at least the way I read it). . . The Outsiders (the book I loved best in school), Lord of the Flies (a book I loved in school and appreciated all the more, later), To Kill a Mockingbird (a book I hated in school, but came to love later). . . Peter Pan in all incarnations (including his genesis in Small White Bird, which I took out a very vintage copy of once from the library). . . I guess that's enough for now. May post more later once some more hit me. ------------- More awesome than a manatee! |

I loved the Dark Materials series by Philip Pullman. Its marketed
to be for adolescents, but I think that's a mistake (there are a lot of
people who don't want to buy something called Dark Materials for their
12 year old). As an adult I enjoyed the heck out of all 3 books
in the series (first one is The Golden Compass). I also love Neil Gaiman (just read Good Omens for the second time). ------------- Making metal barettes/concord clips hair safe, long hair style how to: http://alonghair.wordpress.com |

Science Fiction, have you read any Orson Scott Card? He's the best. I agree about Mockingbird- I didn't like it so much in school, but love it now. Mostly I read Young Adult fiction now (I'm a teacher becoming a librarian soon). Soooo many great authors out there. I don't know where to start. Chris Crutcher is awesome and Scott Westerfeld. But for adult novels.... My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Piccoult... a novel you won't soon forget. |

I third/fourth To Kill a Mockingbird.
--Pride and Prejudice --Animal Farm --Sophie Kinsella's books for light reading. Her daffy heroines are pretty funny. --J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. Don't laugh. They're wonderfully witty and fun. --High Fidelity by Nick Hornby ------------- |

| My favorite book is 1984. For the time that it was written, it's a very compelling (and disturbing) tale. And almost draws parallels with things we can see happening in the world today. |

My favorite books has to be "The Road". It paints a pretty bleak picture but highlights how sheer will and determination can get you to press on when all hope would be lost otherwise. ------------- |

Books are our real friends. I fond of reading books. I read many books But I like 'ramayana'. This is our holy book. This book was written by 'valmiki' In this book we learn many things like respect, discipline, family support, responsibility, happiness and so on. This book is heart of Hindu culture.
