A Tale of Two Cities -- Charles Dickens\n\nIt is really a typical Soap Opera taking place during the French Revolution.  So much is going on and he brings in so many characters, that I am always amazed at how he was able to tie together all those loose ends and odd scenerios given the timeframe he wrote the book.\n\nMany people have difficulting reading it because there is just too much information given in the first half of the book ... but if you keep up with it you will truly love it!

Favorite book: A Prayer for Owen Meany, by John Irving (the movie loosely based on this book, called "Simon Birch," is not very good, however).\n\nFavorite movie: The Godfather. Interestingly, the book for the Godfather is also a great read.

I actually have three favorites.\n\nThe first book is Shogun by James Clavell.  I've read it so many times it fell apart, and I had to buy a new one. It's about an explorer whose ship runs aground in "The Japans."  He has heard about fabulous riches there.  He finds himself in a strange place where he can't speak the language at all and where the customs are completely alien to anything in his experience.  Worst of all, the samurai can kill him for the slightest of affronts.  Fascinating book actually based on the life of a real person (Will Adams), someone who was the ancestor of a man my family knew in Japan.  He moored his boat next to ours.  \n\nThe second is Watchers by Dean Koontz. It's about a genetically enhanced golden retriever, the man who finds him in the woods, and the Other, a creepy creature. \n\nThe third is The Stand by Stephen King.  This one is basically about a Super Flu which escapes from the lab and proceeds to decimate the country.  There are very few survivors, and they are drawn to one of two places - to an old woman (the good) or to the Walking Dude in Vegas (the bad).  Basically, it's about the battle between good and evil for control of the remaining people.  M-O-O-N that spells great book!!

I am in awe of the number of people who think the bible is not only a novel but an Amrician novel. LOL, Check out the site below for a breakdown of all best selling novels over the decades. Gone with the wind was No1 seller of 1936 but the site will show you them all. \n\nThe biggest selling book of all time is the bible. In the top ten selling books of all time only one is a novel "the Valley of the dolls" see http://www.soyouwanna.com/site/toptens/books/books.html

I just read "All the King's Men" by Robert Penn Warren for the first time since high school. I forgot how good that book is!\n\nOther good fiction: (1) "The Corrections" by Jonathan Franzen is just all-around great, (2) "David Copperfield" or "The Pickwick Papers" by Charles Dickens are light and entertaining, and (3) "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" by Roald Dahl is imaginative like the movie but darker. \n\nGood non-fiction: (1) "Confederates in the Attic" by Tony Horwitz is possibly the best books I've read in a long time, (2) "Baghdad Without a Map" by Tony Horwitz is a close second, and (3) "Family" by Ian Frazier is a well-written account of the author's ancestry.\n\nHappy reading!

My favourite books are The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold, One Child, Ghost Girl, The Twilight Children, and The Tiger's Child, by Torey Hayden, and George and Sam by Charlotte Moore.\n\nThe Lovely Bones is fiction, beautifully written - an enjoyable and touching read.\n\nThe Torey Hayden books are non-fiction about Torey's experiences with troubled children (a recommended read if you like The Dave Pelzer books, Sickened, The Little Prisoner, The Kid, and Moving on, Behind closed doors, etc.\n\nGeorge and Sam is non-fiction about brothers with autism, as told by their mother.\n\nI'm a bit of a reader.  I'll read anything except girlie trash about shopping and crushes.  Don't mind a bit of Chaucer or Shakespeare even, but my preferences are clear from above.
