Liz Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I'm jumping in without reading any posts but the original (I've been out for four days and came back to sixteen thousand some odd posts- what do you expect from me?) My favorite author is Alexander Dumas, followed by my favorite book being The Count of Monte Cristo. The last book I read... Was a big encyclopedia on Egyptology (Ever seen Egyptian-Roman art? Not pretty) does that count? Besides Alexander Dumas' work, I would recommend... Peter Rabbit. In fact, all the Beatrix Potter stories. I say this because I've been going through old books lately, and came across my childhood collection of those books and fell right back in love with them. Go read them!

K@koL@ndon Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 my favourite book is "l'ombra del vento" de Carlos Ruis Zafon:biggrin2: “This place is a mystery, Daniel, a sanctuary. Every book, every volume that you see possesses a spirit, the spirit of who has written it and the spirit of those who has read it, of who it has lived and of who it has dreammed thanks to it. Every time that a book changes owner, every time who a new look of it grazes the pages, its spirit acquires force. Many years ago, when my father carried me here for before the time, this place was already old, nearly like the city. Nobody knows with certainty from how much time exists or who has created it. You I can only repeat what my father said to me: when a library to scompare, when a bookcase closes the clappers, when a book gets lost in the oblivion, we, caretakers of this place, makes so that it arrives here. And here the books that more nobody remembers, the lost books in the time, always live in order, waiting for day in which they will be able to return in the hands of a new reader, of a new spirit. We sell them and we buy them, but in reality the books do not belong to us never. Everyone of these books has been the better friend than someone. Now they have only we, Daniel. Tasks of being able to maintain the secret†i love it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mandilambi Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 While I was staying at my Aunt and Uncle's beachhouse, I bought a book called "Shopaholic Takes Manhattan" and I am really enjoying it. Apparently, the author (Sophie Kinsella) has written loads of books, which I plan to buy after I finish this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandilambi Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Thought I'd bump this topic back up.... I just finished a children's book called "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry," by Mildred D. Taylor. It was about an African-American family living during the 1930s, all the while being surrounded by racism. I thought the story was quite good. I'm currently reading the Bridge of Terabithia by Katherine Paterson. I like it thus far, but am dreading the ending because I know it will be sad.

I read Enders game, which can be a children's book, and that was really good. and now i'm reading the Twentieth Wife for school, which is good so far.

mandilambi Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I never saw the Bridge to Terabithia either, but I am actually glad of that. From what I saw in the trailers, it seems like it's quite different from the book. I might watch it after I finish the book! I also just bought "Can You Keep a Secret?" by Sophie Kinsella today and am going to start it after I finish BTT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmbm Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 The last book I read was The Host by Stephanie Meyer (I guess you could call her my favorite author) and I am currently reading Middlesex which a few MFCers suggested/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
