Kama sutra

I have three

Birdsong - Sebastian Faulkes

A Star Called Henry - Roddy Doyle

The Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood - Rebecca Wells

Actually I have loads of favourite books but those three sprang to mind!

The last book that really moved me was the Kevin book.

I had to read Cider With Rosie for my CSE English ... way back in about 1066

Green Mile - Stephen King.

Probably my all time favourite too Renton 

I did for my GCE  1040 Rexi  I have read it a couple of times again since, only because age makes me forget what it was about 

A Place of Greater Safety by Hilary Mantel and also Wolf Hall

To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee.  Love the film too

And I like Colin Dexter's Morse books too for a bit of a holiday read.  As much as I like John Thaw in the tv series, the books were always better, imo. 

Sunset Song by Lewis Grassic Gibbon.  In fact I liked all of the trilogy (the other two are Cloud Howe and Grey Granite) , but the first was the best I reckon.

Can't choose just one as I love my books too much.

Ha ha ha the ONLY one who hasn't chosen a book - probably cos she can't read was . . .

Night night for now

*reminds self to post SLIMFERN a Beano magazine*

I have loads of books that I will read again and again and never tire of them...my ultimate ones are:

Renegades by Shaun Hutson....he has written 50ish books and I have most of them but this is the one I will always return to...my copy is so battered now, but I won't replace it as it is signed by him after I stalked met him. He was disappointingly short but he was very lovely and didn't seem at all disturbed by me, which was nice of him!!!

Nemesis by Jo Nesbo....I only discovered this author a few months ago and am hooked already! He's Norwegian and writes crime thrillers, they are fan-blooming-tastic and keep you guessing right until the end. I can't recommend him highly enough.

It by Stephen King....MrB bought me this when I was preggers with our eldest....it kept me going through many a sleepless night!

Rivals by Jilly Cooper....the perfect book for an easy, fun filled read! Again, I have all her books and this is the most read one, another battered book!!

Angelology by Danielle Trussoni....a kind of antidote to the Twilight saga!! Took some reading but was well worth it. Have read it a few times already and am now ready to read the sequel!!

Elizabeth by Dr David Starkey....I have a mild obsession with the Tudors and have lots of books, both fiction and non fiction, about them and this is one of my faves along with his one about Henry VIII.

I could list loads more, but won't!!!!!!!!

The Stand by Stephen King....

Well worth a read! I have since got hold of all but one of his books and none of them disappoint...it's just this was the first one I read! Mind you...wish I had paid more attention to the inside cover as I started half way through the series of books (they centre around a detective called Harry Hole)....still, each book makes perfect sense by itself and is a fab read.

My favourite book is still Wuthering Heights    of the more modern books I think The Country Girls by Edna O'Brien (loved the Film 4 version of this with Sam Neil) 

Fabulous book ~ and the film was just as good.

To be honest, I read so much that I have a favourite every other week.

I HATE THAT BOOK!!!!!

*rocks back & forth in corner*

We did that book at school..   I opted out of GCE Eng Lit when they brought out The Merchant of Venice...     & regretted it all the way through the CSE book...  "CIder with Rosie"

I did however, learn most of it by heart, & got the highest grade in the exam in our region.

Only got a grade 2 CSE though..   cos the coursework was homework & I didn't hand any of it in!

But...   just reading that book title..   it leaves me cold!

Yeah...   I read them over & over & over again..   I still read them now!   they are really well written.

I've just reread the Garth Nix Abhorsen trilogy & really enjoyed it again.

There are not many books I am happy with rereading..     I have to have really fallen in love with them..  but Anne McCaffrey's Dragons of Pern series, Talents series & Crystal Singer series I can reread over & over again. 

otherwise I tend to go through phases..    Rachel Vincents Shifter series is rereadable. 

i love the Sookie Stackhouse books, but strangely don't find them rereadable!

Moscow to the End of the Line.

I am currently ploughing my way through 'Game of Thrones' by George RR Martin....very good read...it's taking me ages though cos I got distracted by another Jo Nesbo book and then had to try and pick it up again!!! This time, I am determined to finish it before I start another book, no matter how excited I am to read the new one!!!!

The Game of Thrones book has the added appeal of Sean Bean on the front cover *wibble*....

they started off as good books but now they're just plain silly 

If I have to choose one, it has to be 'Jonathan Livingston Seagull'

Exploring C++ by Ray Lischner.

Nice to see you spider.

the beast house trilogy by the late richard laymon... fantastic

i love that too , my all time fave is burial by graham masterton ,   they are my two favourite author's i have read all their books and re-read all the time 

A thousand splendid suns brill book
