I have so many but just to name a couple...

The Sacred Yes
Your Best Life Now

I'm mostly into the inspirational books but I also like mysteries. Can't really think of a favorite from that genre, though. I travel a lot and always like to have a good mystery when I'm on the airplane. I love those books that you just can't put down.

Speaking of reading, I just bought the Amazon Kindle. LOVE IT! LOVE IT! It's so nice to be able to download almost any book or newspaper you want in seconds.... literally. I wouldn't say I'm a bookworm but I may become one now.

I remember reading To Kill a Mockingbird and watching the movie in elementary school.

Hi,
I have never like reading any book until I started my networking business a few years ago. I begun reading those that teaches anyone how to be a better person, or doing the right stuffs and what-have-you. I was surprised that it actually spurred me to read even more and somehow, I am able to write much better than I use to be.

The recent book I have read is " Ready, Fire, Aim " by Michael Masterson of the famous eZine called "Early To Rise" which I bought from Amazon. It is a wonderful book that TEACHES anyone how to build a HUGE business that has been tested out many times by the Author himself.

It's almost a refresher course to me as I start rehearsing the necessary steps involve to develop a successful business.

I'm not one to read novels and all that, though I do read a lot of economic books and historical books.

I've stumbled onto a series of historical biographies that I really love.

The first one, Cicero is about the famous roman orator and statesmen. It's very well written and also interesting. It turns out that Cicero had a very close friend to whom he wrote letters almost daily. A great portion of them have survived, so we gain very unique and interesting insight to not only his life and decisions, but his motives and personal feelings.

The second one, Augustus is written by the same author and in the same style. Except about Augustus.

I'm reading 1424, which is another history book that argues that the renaissance was actually spurred by the chinese.

And then 1492, by the same author, that argues that the Chinese, not Columbus, discovered America first. Very interesting stuff.

too many to say!

At the moment the authors I like are Harlan Coben and Lisa Gardner and of course Tolkien

Oh! My favourite topic

Clearly, I like Shakespeare, but my two favourite books ever are The Catcher in the Rye and To Kill A Mockingbird, by JD Salinger and Harper Lee respectively. Words can't describe how much I love them

Sadly, I haven't had much time lately to read... the old Leaving Cert year must be struggled through first (you know yourself, alana

)

Thanks. It's much appreciated

Oh, and there's another book I forget to mention that I love! The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by RL Stevenson. It's very short and very atmospheric!

It doesn't take long to read (only about 96 pages) and is enthralling. I highly, highly recommend it

I don't really have a favorite book, but I love true crime stories. Ann Rule is a very good writer and I read mostly her books.

Nice question, now I understand that during about 3 years did not read books.
I am reading a lot of articles in Internet, but not feel real books in my hand. Surely, will switch off my computer a little bit earlier today and will try to find something nice to read in my shelter.

I do not like reading so I do not read the books.

Readers Digest is my favorite book because it is related to facts of life.

Aletheides24 · #14 (**permalink**) 01-02-2009, 04:23 AM

Right now I am reading "Truth and Actuality" by Jiddu Krishnamurti.

This book deals with basics truths about existence and perception and consciousness.
