Posted by: yano on January 15, 2004 03:59 PMHi Christine!
You finally decided to make me post something ... O.K. I'll bite...
My favorite book is The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield. My second would be... Shirt Off His Back by Parry Brown. Third... King of Torts by John Grisham...
Posted by: Tysha on January 15, 2004 04:04 PMI have to name a favorite! I like all the books I read otherwise I wouldn't buy them. ;) Okay, here's a sampling . . . Patricia Cornwall's Scarpetta series, The Witch Chronicles by Anne Rice (The Witching Hour, Lasher & Taltos), The Vampire Lestat, all the Harry Potter books, Lamb, The Phantom Tollbooth, A Little Princess and The Secret Garden (the last 3 are kid books but I still re-read them occasionally), Jane Eyre and all the Peter Mayle books (A Year in Provence, etc.) I'll read almost anything.
Posted by: Melinda on January 15, 2004 04:16 PMdefinitely read 'Beloved' by Toni Morrison. It's so sick and twisted. Also, 'The Color of Water' is also an awesome book. It's a true story about a black dude with a Jewish white mom.
Posted by: Nav on January 15, 2004 04:25 PMMemoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden, The Language of Threads by Gail Tsukiyama, The Lord of the Rings Series, Harry Potter...
