The Plague Dogs by Richard Adams

Dark Secret by Christen Feehan

Easy one! To Kill a Mockingbird. I reread it and cry every time Scout says, "Hey Boo." The movie started my life long love for Robert Duvall. That, of course, led me to the mini-series, Lonesome Dove, and my second favorite book. I reread it every now and then, but I can't read it in bed. I laugh so much, I wake my husband up.

joie, we could share books, and speaking of laughing, ever read any Clyde Edgerton? Walking Across Egypt is my favorite.

I really can't answer this question. Choosing a favorite book would be like a parent choosing a favorite child (to me).

I can tell you my favorite news magazine: Newsweek.

Favorite news anchor: Brian Williams (used to be Peter Jennings).

Favorite Pianist: Tossup...George Winston and Danny Wright.

Favorite food: Nice ribeye steak with mushrooms, baked potato, and a Caesar Salad.

But favorite book? Hmmmm. "The Old Man and the Sea?" I certainly think about that one a lot, more than 35 years after reading it. But if I chose it, my other books would get jealous!

Linda Howard "Mr Perfect"

LOL! Lonesome Dove is my favorite book too. I read this book when I was in the 6th grade. I happened upon it at a yardsale. Paid my quarter for it, expecting to be bored to death with a western since I had not yet at the age of 11 ventured into the world of westerns, but I couldn't put it down and had it finished within 2 or 3 days. After Lonesome Dove, I bought Streets of Laredo which is just as great as is Dead Man's Walk and Comanche Moon. Larry McMurtry rocks.

Another one of my favorites of all time is To Kill a Mockingbird. Whoever has never read this book is missing out.

Lonesome Dove! After I saw the movie I read the book. It is such a beautiful piece of literature. You can visualize all the characters and they are so very well developed throughout the book! It is really thick but worth every minute it takes to read it.
Larry McMurtry won a Pulitzer Prize for this book. It is a very good representation of the time and place. I think I may have to reread it!

OOPS! Meant to say, don't start either of these at bedtime. I should point out that Piercing is the sequel to This Present Darkness

Although I have read so many wonderful books over the course of my life, I keep coming back to these two:

"This Present Darkness" and "Piercing The Darkness" both by Frank Peretti. They were published in 1988 and 1990, I think. Anyway, they are novels, but they deal with the spirit realm, and how we affect it, and how it affects US. For instance, when we pray, we hinder dark spirits. It is a good, absolutely riveting read, and it is based in Biblical themes. I think they would be great to make into movies! The imagery is breathtaking, and the suspense will keep you on the edge of your seat, frantically turning the pages, ODing on adreneline and anticipation as to the outcome. If you love an exciting read, this one is it! DO NOT start this one at bedtime!

The Gray King

The Flight of the Doves

Here There be Dragons

Harry Potter... all.

"Grissom", Did you mean "Grisham", Schoolgirl?

I hate to admit it, but I actually read Nora Roberts' "Northern Lights" (YES, before the awful TV movie, which changed cirtical parts of the story for no good reason!). It (the book) fascinated me. I was caught up in the small-town atmosphere, and the isolation of living in a place like that...and how it affects people's lives and relationships. The radio station in "Northern Lights" caught my imagination (as did the newspaper...the owner of which was murdered), and caused me to think "what an amazing place...I wonder if I could get a radio station in Alaska to carry my radio show".

So I gave it a shot, sending my demo to a bunch of stations, and was picked up by a statewide public radio network. So I can now be heard in towns like the one in "Northern Lights"...all because I read a Nora Robers book!

Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil... That book is awesome ... Anything by Nora Roberts and John Grissom...

At the risk of sounding like Gov. Palin with the newspaper question, if you held a gun to my head and said "answer it, or I pull the trigter", I'd probably say "make sure to feed my dog and my bird!".

Pillars of the earth by Ken Follet
the most beautiful woman in town by Charles Bukowski
Maps in the mirror by Orson Scott Card
and
Hellstorms hive by Frank Herbert

I almost forgot. The Host by Stephenie Meyers is great. It's not related to Twilight or anything.

The Harry Potter series are my favorite books. I also like the Twilight Saga. I like basically anything about vampires, witches, wizards, werewolves, and shape-shifters.
