My all-time, I've read them 5-6 times or more each:
IT by Stephen King
Nostalgic terror and humanity at it's best. I just feel like I'm there every time I read this book.
In a Sunburnt Country by Bill Bryson
I laugh out loud with this travel story through all the reaches of Australia. His other books are also great - he writes about places that make you feel like you've visited them with him. And he always finds humor in the strangest places.
Fountainhead by Ayn Rand
Unique writing style make me gobble this book up every time. I feel like it's lyrics in my head.
Harry Dresden Series by Jim Butcher
A wizard with a Beetle and a large sheepdog fighting the bad guys from his basement apartment with a talking, horny skull. Good twists, great characterization, one of my best fantasy finds since high school years.
Books I'm reading now:
Sabriel by Garth Nix
A Tristan recommendation - good series, don't be fooled by it's standing as a Young Adult series. This is def a story for adults - necromancers, daring do, and more.
After years of science texts, I totally fell back into reading tons of fiction. |

yes, that one is definitely a classic. I remember reading that in high school. Another high school book that I LOVED was Lord of the Flies. There was soooo much symbolism in it! Then there's Shakespeare. My favourites are Macbeth, and King Lear.
Lately I have not really been reading "books" per say, but dictionaries instead. I love looking at words, breaking them apart, and figuring out their origins. lol :rolleyes: |
