Re: Best book ever!!!
My partner and I are both voracious readers, and we are never without a book on the go and have rooms full, both read and unread. He often reads several at a time as long as they are very different types.Re: Best book ever!!!
Up until 2008 I was never without a book on my desk or in my pocket .Then came early retirement and for some unknown reason I stopped reading books and started using the computer. Always got good books on birthdays and Christmas's from family and still do. I am always easy to buy for any good book. From The Conquistadors by Michael Wood many books of The Titanic which always intrigued me to Dan Brown The DaVinci Code and Terry Prachetts Hogfather. I also had various favs John Connolly The Killing Kind, The DaVinci Code I could not put down until I had read it all. Got complete collections on my shelves like Morse, The Dark Tower, Jeffery Archers, I have biography's falling off the shelves. Who knows one day I may pick one up again and actually sit and read again. That will more than likely be by candle light when there is no power for the computer..Re: Best book ever!!!
Re: Best book ever!!!
As a child I loved "Black Beauty". Read it over and over, in fact to this day I can still recall how it started:Re: Best book ever!!!
Re: Best book ever!!!
I have loved "The Lord of The Rings" since I was about 11yrs old and have worn out countless paperback copies. About 10yrs ago I gave an illustrated talk on the life and works of J R R Tollien (a fascinating man) at University and they presented me with the most wonderfully bound and illustrated copy of the LOTR as a thank you. I read it at least once a year, and it would be my 'Desert Island' book. It is eveything: Romance, Fantasy, War, Thriller, Social Comment, Theology, History.Re: Best book ever!!!
I read loads, mainly Historical and Science fiction, lots of books on wildlife and local history. The first book i can remember that left an impact was Call of the Wild by Jack London.Re: Best book ever!!!
I remember reading about Elizabeth Fry and Edith Cavell at age 11 (?) I do remember loving them.
