Title: Re: THE BOOK LIST Post by: Brownie55 on February 04, 2009, 09:42:26 pm Pleased to see this one on the list
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time fabulous clever book that about a boy with Asperger syndrome. A customer remarked that he finally understood his son after reading this book. Title: Re: THE BOOK LIST Post by: sparkels on February 10, 2009, 06:49:29 pm I've read quite a few ... one of my favourites in that list would be 'The Good Earth', by Pearl S Buck ... fabulous.
Also Margaret Atwood .. 'The Handmaiden's Tale'. Thanks for the link Brownie, there a some awesome books on it. Some people say you have to read non-fiction to learn anything from books, but I disagree with that. Reading fiction enables me to understand emotion on many different levels, rather than just understanding the facts about stuff. Title: Re: THE BOOK LIST Post by: bump head benny on March 03, 2009, 12:54:45 pm I remember reading a few of them like Shogun, Treasure island and a few others, I would add Kiyosakis "Rich dad poor dad", "Foucaults Pendulum", "Delta of Venus", and Wilbur Smiths "Birds of prey"
Title: Re: THE BOOK LIST Post by: inky on April 26, 2009, 11:42:31 pm I would like to ask anybody 1 question. all though "to kill a mockingbird" was a great story, I should think that "The bible" would have been the 1st in line. It"s not my favouritie story, but I"m told it"s pretty popular around the world. Title: Re: THE BOOK LIST Post by: inky on April 26, 2009, 11:55:06 pm add one more, "Disordered Minds" by Minette Walters. |
