I love Charles Dickens. Great Expectations especially......Uriah Heep makes my flesh crawl

One of my mother's friends is in the publishing business, so I occasionally get advance copies of books. I am currently reading Dead on my Feet by Wm. Mark Simmons.It will be available in June from Baen . It is absolutely hilarious...in it the lead character is distantly related to Erzsebet...

I have now added a new favorite to my long list of Sci/fi favorites. Battlefield Earth by L. Ron Hubbard. I will not even attempt to watch the movie adaptation. I heard it was horrible. And, anyway how can a movie do justice to a book of over a 1000 pages?

Movies can never, ever do a book justice. We build up in our own minds, how character's look and so forth. Antonio as Armand...no no and a bigger no no! And I think the actors should have switched roles, Tom as Louis and Brad as Lestat. Brad was closer to looking like Lestat in my mind's eye...

So many authors and titles amoung your favorites! Some I have never read and many are well loved. I made a new list of "To Read" from this thread.

Great IDEA :D

I have yet to read "The Fiery Cross". I have heard from other readers that they also have had trouble getting through it. :( I so enjoyed her previous books but am apprehensive on picking up this one after all I have heard :(

As a youngun I just adored Judy Blume books. Oh, I thought Wifey was soooo risque! And VC Andrews' books were readily traded among us junior highers :D. I also remember reading most of the Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew and Boppsie Twins books. The Narnia Chronicles are at the top of my list for best...

Sounds great, I will have to pick up a copy. I always liked Jimmy Carter also. He is great humanitarian :)

I enjoy Sara Paretsky's books, nice easy reads.

Yeah another won over!!!!!!!So glad to hear you enjoyed it:D

Was it Escape to Magic Mountain by any chance?

Thank you, Lies :D I saw Clan of the Cave Bears and don't waste your time. In my opinion, it was not suited for screen adaptaion. I am still reading Battlefield Earth by L. Ron Hubbard. It is so good. One of the better Sci/Fi books I've read in a long time. I like how Hubbard does...

Lies, when did that come out? I remember reading all her books about 10 years ago. Loved them but never saw the 5th in stores.

Hi there! No sure haven't read that but the titla alone makes me want to LOL

I have decided I don't like Terl (the main Psychlo chacacter). He is purity rotten and evil. And he is driving me crazy with all his leverage, leverage. GRRRR!! I can not wait until Jonnie and all the humans take him down and all the other Psychlos!

I am still reading Battlefield Earth by L. Ron Hubbard.

LOVE HER!!!!!!! Woot Woot!

I am currently reading The Narnia Chronicles to my 6 year old daughter. We are on The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe right now. It's so much fun rereading my childhood favorites and seeing my daughters eyes light up with enjoyment. In fact she is insisting we change her name to Lucy. I much...

I am a bad bad person, I actually judge a book by its cover, its back cover hehe. Also I choose by people's recommendations or if it's on sale. When I find an author I like, I tend to read through all of their works. I almost get mad when a good book is finished, so series make me very very...
