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.

Oh, good topic!
Fiction: Robert Jordon *sniff* - Wheel of Time David Eddings - All of the Sparhawk/Church Knights books Edgar Rice Burroughs - Classic! Louis L'amour - I've read tons of his westerns Stephen King - Such a twisted man Neil Stephenson - Snow Crash, Cryptonomicron Warhammer 40k - Dan Abnett, C.S. Goto - In the grim dark future, there is only war! Mathew Woodrow Stover - Hero's Die (Go find this book now if you like fiction) Mickey Zucher Reichert - Beyond Ragnarok Terry Goodkind - Sword of Truth Non-Fiction Jim Cramer - Mad Money series Jack Canefield - The Success Principles <- Great book, I ordered 40 copies of this one to give to all new employees Timothy Ferris - 4 Hour Workweek Anthony Robbins - Personal Power Stephen R Covey - 7 Habits of Highly Successful People *Deep Breath before blasting you with another list* Just kidding. I have more if anyone wants some good reading suggestions. Reading is my guilty pleasure, and it's rare that I don't have a book with me. I do have a rule that for every five books I read of fiction, I read one of non fiction just to keep me grounded.

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!!

CookdeRosa-Henty books
What are some of your favorite Henty books? Our homeschool curriculum uses a lot of Henty and I want to pick up a few.
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.
