Which books does everyone never tire of reading time and time again, always finding something new every time, just that feeling of satisfaction when a book really speaks to you or is something you can relate to or simply just makes you laugh out loud.
Mine are:-
Therapy - David Lodge
Mission - Patrick Tilley
Cider with Roadies - Stuart Maconie
The war diaries of Spike Milligan
How Mumbo-Jumbo Conquered the world - Francis Wheen
I always have one or all of these books on the go at one time or another

Hello...I missed you :(
Guilty pleasure #1...I LOVED The DaVinci Code.
#2...I have a morbid mind, and a strong stomach, so I love anything involving forensic science which usually goes hand in hand with gorey material.
I do like Stephen King, but his books ALWAYS give me nightmares while I'm reading them.
Last favorite would be my astronomy books, and Stephen Hawking. If I end up understanding even a fraction of what he does, I will have learned a great deal from him.
Talk to you later,
Susan

Susan,
I should send you some of my boyfriend's stuff. He's a writer by hobby right now but interviews all kinds of authors it sounds like you would like for the thrill & nightmare factor.
My boyfriend is into dark culture & horror stuff.
Most of the time I end up reading a lot of books by people he interviews, just to understand what he's up to.
Think my favorite to date (And FYI: This gives people an interesting perspective on life and seizures versus other things out there)...
A book called Terminal by Brian Keene
From my boyfriend's collection I also like James Newman, Jack Ketchum, and Greg Lamberson
From my collection I like James Patterson, John Grisham & Steve Martini.
We definately have a lot of books at home.
~ Erin

Hi Andy, I'm not a big reader and often think I should be! I did enjoy Life of Pi - Yann Martel. ------------------------------ Peace, Love, Mung Beans
