The Talisman...I read it a long time ago, but I really enjoyed it.

A pair of old classics: Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott and The Last of The Mohicans by James Fennimore Cooper.

fiction: The Broken Commandment by Toson Shimazaki

non-fiction: The Columbia Historical Portrait of New York by
Kouvenhoven


I am an inveterate reader and often read 2 or 3 books at a time. And it never stops being fun!

Trying to name your 'favourite' book is a little like trying to name your favourite breath - in fact, that's probably easier (it was the one which contained my first whiff of my now wife's favourite perfume*). However, one book I'd say everybody should read is Primo Levi's 'If This is a Man', and a must for reading to the kids (but a great read in it's own right) is 'Haroun and the Sea of Stories' by Salman Rushdie

(* :blah5: :lol: )

 

[peapod]

Blah!

 

[Haggis McBagpipe]

So many good books, impossible to decide. If I shut my eyes, reach into the flickering shadows of my mind for just one book, out pops...

The Story of O.

Just kidding.

... out pops...

Rohinton Mistry's 'A Fine Balance. That story had a powerful effect on my mind.

 

[Diamond Sun]

The Power of One is my all time favourite book. I've read it probably a dozen times, and I recommend it to everyone I meet. Like "A Fine Balance", after you're done reading it, you can't get it out of your mind.

Second favourite "The Old Man and the Sea" by Hemmingway. Read it years and years and years ago, and I still think about that book.

 

[Haggis McBagpipe]

Hey that gives me an idea, I am really overdue to reread The Old Man and the Sea.

 

[Diamond Sun]

I think you might also be overdue to read "The Power of One".
