Books

[bunnyandme]

Are any of you as crazy about reading as I am? Iseriously think it has become an addiction...lol I read any book I canget my hands on. My personal library is full of books I've read a least2x a peice. I've even created a list of books I want to read ina textdocument, and its about a mile long!

My fiance' and I are going on a trip that will take 15 or more hours(not taking bunny btw), and I've been looking online for cheap books toorder before I leave. I will definatly need something to read.

What kinds of books to you read? Any suggestions on what booK I could buy or get at the library for my trip?

 

[pamnock]

I read anything and everything. Thebooks I took on a recent trip included a mystery novel, a Stephen Kingnovel, and books on algebra, philosophy and genetics.

We spend a lot of time at the library and leave with arm loads of books

I'm a huge geek. I read all the time,and a lot of what I read is fantasy or sci-fi. I do read somemore "normal" fiction, but I don't like romances, typical mysteries, ormuch else that's really popular so I have a hard time finding stuff Ilike in regular fiction. I also like to read books on otherreligions/mythologies and collections of tales from different cultures.

 

[hummer]

I am on the 12th book out of 14 in the entireseries. The writers are Kathleen O'Neal Gear and W. MichealGear. All the titles start with People of the______. (Wolf, Fire, Earth, River, Sea, Lakes, Lightning,Silence, Mist, Masks, Owl, Raven, Moon and Weeping Eye are not outyet) Right now I am on People of the Raven. Theyare in a way (for me anyway), historical fiction. The firstone started with Native Americans crossing the Bering Strait landbridge and coming down to North America. The writers arearcheaologists, they have worked for the Government and all sorts ofthings.

When I am reading their books, I feel like I am there, watchingeverything happen. Unfortunatly, with the 3 kids, I find ithard to read as much as I would like.

There was another series (I kinda got stuck on the whole series thing)I that I read a while ago. They also had to do with theNative Americans coming over on the Bering land bridge. Thesewere written by William Sarabande. I think he has not writtenanything in a number of years.

You would LOVE "Sole Survivor" by Dean Koontz

Lately I've been reading books that are"suplimental reading" books for training I'm doing at work. I've read"Leadership 101" by John Maxwell, "Dropping the PinkElephant: 15 Ways to say what you mean" by bill McFarlan. And soon I'llread " Who moved my Cheese?" and "How full is your bucket?"

So far the books I've read have been really inspirational. The pinkelephant book is good to help improve your communication skills andstill beable to speak your mind.

I've never been a Koontz fan. I justcouldn't get in to his books. I absolutely adore C.J.Cherryh. I've read tons of her books and she's rarelydisappointed me. Ursula K. LeGuin is another goodone. From other authors, the Wheel of Time and Game ofThrones series are fantastic! And I keep intending to rereadthe Narnia books and Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pernseries.

And of course I love Tolkien.

Hey Bunnyandme- any chance you like Lord of the Rings or TheHobbit? The BBC had them broadcast over the radio, and youcan buy tapes/cd's of them. They're really good.That's what we listen to on long car rides. They're not bookson tape, they're radio performances.
