I think back in the spring a couple of TDer's
mentioned reading A Painted House by John Grisham and one said it was her favorite, I wish I
could remember who it was. Anyway I got a copy
and just finished it and I LOVED IT! I was sad to
get to the end. I want to say thank-you......
Any other good recommendations out there?

Another is 'Charley: A Voice from The Past' By C. W. Ayers- It's a hard one to find. It is a very special book to me and if any of you manage to find and read it I'll tell why

"Ouch Charley... You bit me"... "Charley, that hurts Charley"...

I currently love to read out loud with my 5 year old... We are currently reading book 1 of Harry Potter... (she will have to wait for the later books as they get a bit intense)...

...My Favorite...

HOP ON POP

Baldur

I loved Gregory Maguire's 'Wicked', and the second sequel to it called 'A lion Among Men'.
The book in between 'Son of a Witch' was just not very interesting.

matthew, I preferred 'the Butter Battle Book' to 'Hop On Pop', I think it spoke more to the problems of modern society.

Shanley

I'm a great fan of Graham Greene and Somerset Maugham. They are both excellent writers.

Dragon

Two words - Aligator Pie
Best book to ever come out of Canada!

Dragon

Shanley, is that the same Graham Greene who's a Canadian Native actor? If so I had no idea he was a writer.

Shanley

No Dragon, not the same person.

matthew

Aligator and Canada... two words I just don't expect to hear in the same sentence...

My two favorite books are "Ariel" by Stephen R. Boyette, and "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky. I'm also a big fan of Mercedes Lackey's books, particularly her Valdemar books, of which there are many. And I absolutely love Stephen King...he's easily my favorite author. But, yeah. I love books...LOVE them.

I just reread "The Lovely Bones" by Alice Sebold. It's a rather dark topic, but brilliantly written so that the reader isn't aware of how dark the topic might be. I'd encourage you to read it.

Perhaps my favorite author is Richard Bach. I've always loved "Jonathan Livingston Seagull", but even more I love his book "Illusions. The Story of a Reluctant Messiah". His books are generally rather short and quick reads, but full of wisdom. I've read all of his books, even his memoir.

Baldur

There's a new revisionist version of a Jane Austen book just out called:
'Sense & Sensibility & Seamonsters'
I haven't purchased it yet.

Any good reading out there.......
Just re-read Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up To Me by Richard Farina
I love that book! Kinflicks by Lisa Alther is another good one.

Could I recommend The Secret Scripture by Sebastian Barry quite a moving story, sad but uplifting. If anyone reads or has read this would love to know your thoughts.......

indigo

Thanks spam...I googled Sebastian Barry and The Secret Scripture looks very interesting. He also wrote Long, Long Way which looks good too. I'm going
to check them out for sure. I'll check out some used bookstores and if not my son works part time at Indigo ( I picked my TD name before he got the job..LOL) It's a book store and I hope to find them there. I'll let you know.
