Of course I re-read books! I always notice something new, and I love the familiar feelings my favorite books give me. Books and pizza...the most comforting things in the world to me!:p

There are so many that I reread over and over again! So, here's a list: "The Lord of the Rings" by Tolkien...I read it at least once a year, sometimes more often. I have a one-volume edition that I like to use. All of Jane Austen's books, especially Pride and Prejudice. She remains one of...

Does anyone here read anything by John Sandford, either his Prey series, or his Kidd series?

I'll throw in my two cents: Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte David Copperfield - Charles Dickens Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen Vanity Fair - William Makepeace Thackeray Tom Jones - Henry Fielding Middlemarch - George Eliot Portrait of a Lady - Henry...

That's a difficult question. I like history books, mostly about the history of England and Ireland. I like books about fairies, especially by Brian Froud or Pierre Dubois. I also love decorating books and biographies. One non-fiction that I read about twice a year is "Better Than Beauty: A...

I also recently finished The Children of Hurin. Having read both The Silmarillion and unfinished Tales, I already knew Turin's story pretty well. But, the book was very well thought out, and being in the form of a novel made the story more cohesive. I was only diappointed that there was no...

My 12th grade Humanities teacher asked everyone to read Sohpie's World during the summer before the school year started. I bought it and tried, but couldn't get beyond Plato. Now, flash forward ten years, and I've read it three times! When you get further in, you realize how amazing the story...

I just want to say Thank You! I just found this board today, and I was starting to regret joining when I saw the violent hatred thrown at one of my all-time favorite books! I'm not an avid reader of fantasy, I prefer 19th century English, or modern horror or suspense. But The Lord of the Rings...

Warning: Possible Spoiler...Too late for me, though! "The boat reappeared, but brother and sister had gone down in an embrace never to be parted, living through again in one supreme moment the days when they had clasped their little hands in love and roamed the daisied fields together." The...

Im in the process of cataloguing all of my books, and it looks like I've read three authors more than any others (mind you, this goes back almost twenty years): John Saul John Sandford J.R.R. Tolkien I've also read a lot of books by Stephen King, all of Jane Austen's, and several of...

Let's see..... Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice...she's exactly the kind of person I'd like to be! Becky Sharp from Vanity Fair...she's so deliciously selfish Sam Gamgee from The Lord of the Rings...he's the best friend anyone could want, and so much better written that Frodo...

Of course, there are more than one: The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald The Stand by Stephen King Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen David Copperfield by Charles Dickens I know there are more that have affected me deeply, but I can't think of...

I've often stayed up until 5 or 6 in the morning (I often have insomnia) in order to finish a book. The last one was the very last book I finished: The Great and Secret Show by Clive Barker. It bothered my boyfriend (who was trying to sleep), that I had to go downstairs and continue there...I...

I always buy, though usually from a second-had store, but sometimes even from Borders. I always intend to either re-read every book I have or to give them away. I haven't used a library since high school!

This is obviously my first time here, and I just wanted to send out a quick HELLO to everyone! I'm really excited to be here and I can't wait to discuss all of my favorite books. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone!
