Behold a Pale Horse By William Milton Cooper. This book completely changed the way I looked at the world...and my government. I was not the same after reading it. If you want to take the "red pill"...read that book.

Atlas Shrugged and 1984 were the two that really made me sit up and notice politics, although 'Alas, Babylon' by Pat Frank was the book that caused me to re-evaluate my priorities as a teenager. Of course by the time I read it I was already a news junkie and convinced WWIII was around the corner.

This is a toughie. My all-time favorite book must be To Kill a Mockingbird. The LotR trilogy follows closely after. I am also a huge fan of Neil Gaiman, especially his Sandman comics.

turns around and looks at the five bookcases and stacks of books crammed in the room You want me to pick just one? [:D] I love all the Star Wars books (well, the first 30 or so, they kind of go downhill after that) Reason for Hope and 40 Years at Gombe both by Jane Goodall (she gave them to me herself, wonderful books written by a wonderful woman) Underboss by Peter Maas For the Sins of my Father by Albert DeMeo Almost anything by Stephen King except for the Dark Tower series, never got into those, although I loved the "lost chapter" from that series that was in Everything's Eventual The Bubishi Beauty, A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast, been reading this one over and over again for years And that's only my first two book shelves! I think I have bored you all enough for now, but I may add more later [:D]

G'morning all: Has anyone else noticed? Most of the selections touted have been some form of fantasy genre. I'll hop right into that selection & wriggle around most deliciously as the next peep though. I love a chance to escape the everyday, the mundane as much as the next soul. So many of my own choices have already been tagged, so I'll just wave my own little bit of foolscrap in the wind and hunker down with my current novel. Happy reading folks. Stay safe, play nice, & share your toys w/ others.... [:D] Bella

Pavel -> RE: Favorite book? (3/28/2005 5:28:58 PM)
Ooh I forgot about Star Wars, although that was a long time ago for my reading tastes. Still, happy memories at least.

my favorite books as an older kid were the Belgariad, by David Eddings. (i suspect they would also be good reads as an adult.) i would just totally immerse myself in the fantasy world i found there. As an adult... my fave single book has to be Ender's Game, by Orson Scott Card. Sometimes i will be doing something totally unrelated and that book will just pop into my head. i also like Stephen King, Clive Barker, Neil Gaiman, Amy Tan... and i will think of many others after i post this. [:D]

KarbonCopy -> RE: Favorite book? (4/3/2005 1:21:50 AM)
Yes, I'd have to say that the Belgariad and the Mallorian series were absolutely phenominal. That and the Anne Bishop trillogy called the "Black Jewel Tillogy" that was a great series with many hidden (not well) femdom influences.

LdyAuburn -> RE: Favorite book? (4/3/2005 5:24:32 AM)
ok very quick 'buggar' I lost all that I had written Moving right along, I also looked at the book shelves to see my favourites. To identify one and one alone isnt feasible. I have many that I reread. Authors, Dan Brown of the da vinci lot, Joy Fielding mysteries, Mary Higgins Clark ditto. I like Georgette Heyers romance and her detective ones, Elizabeth George. Also one of the ones for fantasy genre regards

dixiedumpling -> RE: Favorite book? (4/3/2005 10:59:57 AM)
The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd The Stand by Stephen King Actually most anything by Mr. King. It really worried me when he got hit while walking along the road. I despaired that he'd EVER finish the dark tower series. Anna Pigeon books by Nevada Barr. All of Sue Grafton's A B C alphabet series. Dean Koontz is a favorite author. I used to read Andrew Greeley books and wonder how a priest could know so much about women.

The federalist papers by the founding fathers.In order to understand the contitution you have to read and understand the federalst papers.They are like the bible is to the ten comandments.

knees2you -> RE: Favorite book? (4/11/2005 5:34:38 PM)
I've heared of the federalist papers. Have never been able to find them? Is there somewhere on the Internet that I can find them? Are they a sacred item~ There is also something called the Imperial Brain Trust~~ Sinceelyr, ant[;)]

hazeydaisy -> RE: Favorite book? (4/11/2005 6:09:27 PM)
As a kid i read the Trixie Belden series, sort of a Nancy Drew/Hardy boys mix. Now i like to read about anything. I like the Sue Grafton A, B, C mysteries...but i also like the hot romance novels. Just depends on my mood and from looking at other lists i'm going to have to get to the library and check some of these titles out if no one minds lol.

I have found the book at many libraries. It is aka the federalist essays. I have been told that their was an anti-federal papers but I havn't found them.They would be the other side of the debate.They would be some what important. The book I read was lent to my by a former employer.

sweetnygirl -> RE: Favorite book? (4/12/2005 9:29:48 AM)
Add me to the list admirers of the Valdemar series, I also love Anne McCaffreys' Pern books as well as her Freedom series. When I want to laugh I've found Janet Evonovich's Stephanie Plum books work wonders. I could go on & on there are so many wonderful authors & books that there's never enough time to read them all & I generally read at least 1 book a day if not more.

liltxsubby -> RE: Favorite book? (4/12/2005 5:38:19 PM)
As a kid I liked Judy Blume and Ramona books, then Anne of Green Gables and Little House. Now I like the historical romance novels. Johanna Lindsey is one of my favorites, and a new author named Sabrina Jeffries. AAAHHH How could I forget Gone With the Wind? That has to be my all time favorite. I'ver readit a million times since I was in 6th grade.

Atavist -> RE: Favorite book? (4/12/2005 7:37:04 PM)
A few more memorable ones: Crime and Punishment - Dostoevsky Stranger in a Strange Land - Heinlein The Illustrated Man - Bradbury Dune - Herbert Born to Win - James Catcher in the Rye - Salinger The Agony and the Ecstasy - Stone

joecool -> RE: Favorite book? (4/12/2005 7:57:18 PM)
wow, so many of my favorites have already been mentioned. Dune, Stranger in a Strange Land, To Kill a Mockingbird, Lord of the Rings As well as Stephen King, Tom Clancy, Frank Herbert, Ernest Hemingway I'll add anything by Clive Cussler is in that list, as well as any of the Dragonlance Chronicle books written by Weis and Hickman. I can't say I have a favorite non-fiction book. I read so many textbooks for school that I enjoy the escape of a good fantasy or sci-fi book.
