You are Beauty We are Beauty We are Devine Unchanged By Time --Bone Setter's Daughter - Amy Tan

Hated books School assignments can definately make you hate books that otherwise would be a pretty good read. When I was in highschool, we had to read Tess of the D'urbervilles. I HATED it back then. Years later (about 15 years), I reread it and LOVED it. In fact, it is on my top 10 list...

Welcome fellow southernern. I'm a Louisiana native myself - a beach bum ? Does that mean you're from Florida...if so I must say most of the southern states consider Florida Yankee-invaded (all the yankee move there to retire) and not much southern anymore..lol. Or is it somewhere else along...

I just finished The Diamond Age by Stephenson and I loved it! It's a very different type of sci-fi.

I just finished American Gods. It was great. But I was a little confused at the end. When Shadow is talking to the real Odin (I'm guessing he's the real one that's part of why I'm confused), Shadow asked who Wednesday was and Odin Replies..."YOU"...is this just referring to the fact that...

The BBC does alot of dramitizations. I know they did one of The Hobbit by Tolkien years back

I really liked the Disc World books. They weren't as funny as Hitchhiker's but amusing. If you're unsure, try reading these books by Craig Shaw Gardner, I liked them better than the Prachett books: -A Malady of Magicks -A Multitude of Monsters -A Night in the Netherhell

Rivarlry between Magicians: Hmmm...How about rivalry between Gods and Magicians. The best one I know of the The Legends Trilogy by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. Although you really need to start out with The Chonicles Trilogy by Weis and Hickman First. Basically the main magician Raistlin...

Hi Sharkgirl! Welcome! What is the current book you're reading? I'm reading The Diamond Age by Neal Stephenson. It's a sci-fi book

Laugh out Loud Books: -Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe Trilogy (actually it's five books) by Douglas Adams -Dirk Gently by Douglas Adams -The Ebenezum trilogy by Craig Shaw Gardner -Big Trouble by Dave Berry -Disc World Series by Terry Pratchett

Anyone read this one so we may have a discussion about our book of the month? It's getting to be the last week in June...

Why don't you try looking at the library to see if they have a copy of the book?

I would have to say The Unknown Soldier by Billy Rose is still my favorite...but I love alot of E.A Poe's poem's especially Annabell Lee

Hmm. I would say I read about 10 to 12 books a month.

I've been listening to audio books in my for a few years now. Since it takes me about an hour to get to work, it helps. I love it. I buy the audiobooks at amazon or at audiobookstand.com, but they're really expensive. I have a CD/mp3 player in my car so sometimes I just rip the tapes I buy...

what is it about LOTR that you did not like?

I listen to classical music or irish music or any type of music that doesn't have words because words distract me from my reading

Welcome rae, Yes the Harry Potter Books are awesome. I currently reading "A Familiar Dragon" series by Daniel Hood.

I absolutely enjoyed the anne of green gables series by lucy montgomery.

hard cover I prefer hard cover because the print is larger and the paper quality is better (no ink smearing). But I agree they are bulky when toteing them around. That's why I only buy my favorite books in hardcover...the rest is paperback.
