    name 3(or more) books

    I was just in the dog house section, and it got into books. I don't read as much as I should, but I do love to read, and I like several kinds of books. I am trying to read more now, and I was just wondering what some favorites are of everyone on here. fiction, non fiction, history, classics, whatever.
    name a few of your favorites? more than 3 is ok too. I saw mention of some books in the other section that I have heard of but am a little embarrassed to say I never read!

    Nomilynn-- didnt you post a thread about books once?

    babolaypo65 and mugsy-- and any other teachers out there-- what books do you recommmend?

    After the LOTR series, "Night" by Elie Wiesel is my favorite book. It's short & easy to read, but very powerful.

    I would reccommend anything by Tolkien

    Some other faves...
    "Insomnia" by Stephen King
    "The Testament" by John Grishm
    (really anything by Grisham or King )

    Thanks for the signature & avatar kfamr

    I'm not a big reader either, I'm glad this thread was started, as I have been looking into buying some new books--I love to read, I just don't do it

    Captain--did you read the other books that came before "A man called Dave?" The first one, " A Child Called It" was required reading for one of my classes--I can't remember the middle one.
    Emily, Kito, Abbey, Riley, and Jada

    The Empire trilogy by Raymond Feist & Janny Wursts starting with 'Daughter of the Empire' are very good.

    All Jane Austin books
    (Also Joan Aiken, a modern author, copies Jane Austins' style & writes about characters from Austins' books. I am reading 'Jane Fairfax' at the moment.)

    Brave New World (Aldus Huckley) & 1984 (George Orwell) are good reads.

    All Issac Aismov, John Grisham, Anne McCaffery, Harry Potter Series are worth reading.

    Jean Auel 'Clan of the Cave Bear' series. Currently 5 books have been published out of a projected 7. (Though book 3 onwards has small inserts of sex which serve little purpose, the story is very good and she researches her books well. She has actually learnt how to use herbs & flint knap etc & spent 10 years researching book 5 to 7...)

    The 'A boy called it' series are worth a read but very very sad. I cried though all 4 books (The fourth book outlined his views on life & how to deal with problems, very uplifting, I can't remember the title)

    Thats all I can think about at the minute.

    I read "A child called it", "The Lost Boy" and " A Man named Dave" Wow those books were so powerful, I couldn't put them down.

    Is anybody into the Chicken soup for the soul books? I just bought Chicken Soup for the Cat & Dog Lover's Soul. I also just bought "Buster's Diary" by Roy Hattersley. Now I just have to find the TIME to sit down and READ!!!

    Well, unfortunately, I don't read much anymore. With 20 dogs it does not lend itself very well. But, I do have favorite books, albeit they are old.

    Far From the Madding Crowd: Thomas Hardy
    To Kill a Mockingbird: Harper Lee
    The Shining: Stephen King


    Don't buy while shelter dogs die!!
