I enjoy books, not necessarily all the works of a given Author. I have a few favorite books.
The Master and Margarita-Mikhail Bulgakov- (translated to English) Hands down the finest book written in the past 100 years. Read it 3 times at different times in your life and you'll read 3 completely different stories. Ox-Bow Incident- Walter Van Tilburg Clark Great story. Terrible movie. Men for the Mountains- Sid Marty Memoirs of a Banff National Park (That is in Canada people..) Warden. Take this book with you the next time you go into the woods. What a great storyteller.

My favorite genre is probably kid-lit, because I've never quite grown up. My frequent re-read list includes Laura Ingalls Wilder, CS Lewis, Roald Dahl, Lemony Snickett, and JK Rowling.
>> Cindy- Ive read all the Potter books to my sons and working through the Little House books now. We are part way through Farmer Boy- Laura Ingalls Wilder is responsible for any of my excess eating!!

We love the Henty books -Library and Educational services sells the hardback 1/2 price. We tell them we are a school- a homeschool and all is well. Freedoms Cause is excellent, so is The Cat of Bubastes, and Wulf the Saxon. It really depends on the time period that you are studying. We haven't had a bad one yet. I think we own almost all of them. ![]() |

King (Mary Russel Holmes novels) Agatha Christie Arthur Conan Doyle Edward Marston And If I'm in the mood for some "Light" Fiction Stephen King Issac Asimov Ben Bova John Grisham Clive Cussler James Paterson Daniel Silva EDIT: Wow! I didn't realize the top of my head was that large.... I guess I'm a real book nerd
