It is good. It's a great book when you want an easy, fun read.

Too stubborn to die (which is a true story of a girl who survived the Nazi concentration camps) by Cato Jamaillo (sp is wrong on last name)
Tami Hoag's "Cry Wolf."

Megan, that was like the only book I read when I was your age, and each year they asked us to do a book report, I'd do the same one. I got pretty good at it!

I go through phases. The World According to Garp got me into John Irving. Then I entered my cowboy phase and read everything I could find by Louis L'Amour, then a bunch of science fiction, then detective stuff like Cornwell and James Lee Burke and James Patterson and Michael Connelly. Lately, I've been in a slump. I'm STILL reading the last Harry Potter, a page at a time.

"Fermata" "Vox" and "American Psycho" very good books, if anyone is interested. =)

ehunney · 10-28-2005, 08:55 AM

hands down, my favorite book is the bible (new world translation)!!!

jennifermcb · 10-28-2005, 09:19 AM

I read a lot of books, both non-fiction and fiction. I go through at least 2 books per week.

My favorite series of all time is the Outlander series, by Diana Gabaldon. These books are loved by men and women alike. So far, there are 6 books in the series, each book being around 900 pages each. I've read all 6 a couple of times, and now I am listening to the unabridged editions on audio-cd.

The books are:
Outlander
Dragonfly in Amber
Voyager
Drums of Autumn
Fiery Cross
Breath of Snow & Ashes

There's also an book called The Outlandish Companion, which explains many of the gaelic terms and phrases used in the book.

I only read christian books. I absolutely love the books written by Lori Wick. My favorites are Sophie's Heart and The Hawk and the Jewel. I highly recommend them. I don't usually read books over, but I've reread her books several times.

knitbritt · 10-28-2005, 10:30 AM

I love to read too. Harry Potter is the bomb! Anything by Stephen King, Neil Gaiman or Gregory MacGuire. I have also read alot of fantasy and horror books. Those are usually my favorites. My all-time favorite though is The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell.

NewYorkieMa&Pa · 10-28-2005, 12:11 PM

Shadow of the Wind Hands DOWN!!! The best I have ever read... A close second is Odd Thomas... on and my 3rd is Queen of the South.

Sherry Lynn · 10-28-2005, 12:27 PM

I love funny - anything by Carl Hiaasen or Janet Evanovich! I also like biographys and the all time favorite would be Gone with the Wind.

Kaluiah · 10-28-2005, 12:36 PM

2 of my favorite books are by James Patterson:
When the wind blows and the Lake house.
My mom is into all his books and she got me to read those two.
