RE: Thomas Nelson: THE BIBLE

I`m not into religion now, but my all time favourite part of the bible is Ecclesiastes - has helped me thorough really tough times. What was true about human effort and toil thousands of years ago is still true. I recommend it if you feel you need peace - helps put things in perspective.

RE: Tom Sharpe: The Throwback

I remember the bit about blowing up the toilets the most...had me in stitches!!

RE: Lynn Ginsburg: What Are You Hungry For?: Women, Food, and Spirituality

wish to have more acces to spiritual books on eckankar the religion of light and sound of GOD.

RE: dan brown: the da vinci code

I read this book twice as at first I had a bit of trouble getting into it. But the second time i couldn't put it down. A supurb read.

RE: dan brown: the da vinci code

If you liked this book you def. should read "Angels & Demons"...that one is even better.

And a movie about it is coming soon

RE: dan brown: the da vinci code

Great book. I was glued to the book the very second I picked it up and I didn't put it down till I'd read it all.

RE: Joseph Conrad: Victory

I liked Victory too, although I don't think it is one of Conrad's best. Nostromo, Under Western Eyes, and The Secret Agent, as well as Heart of Darkness, are masterpieces. I think he is one of the few authors who was not born or brought up in an English speaking country who actually writes completely fluently in English, after his early novels. I think he said that he was seduced by English.

Nabokov rivals his mastery of English, but he does have some awkward sentences among the elegant prose, and he does select some strange words (presumably from the dictionary) which Conrads manages to avoid.

RE: Jack Kerouac: On The Road

Read it years ago. Very good.

RE: dan brown: the da vinci code

Great book for a while but it gets lost in itself towards the end.

RE: Gabriel Garcia Marquez: 100 years of solitude

I think its just great.... fires the imagination.
In fact I like anything he has written.

RE: Gabriel Garcia Marquez: 100 years of solitude

History presented as soap opera. Hugely overrated.

RE: Stephanie Meyer: Twilight Saga

i love this book collection it's awesome guys u can learn a thing or two about how to wooo woman with these books

RE: dan brown: the da vinci code

this book was fun to read.

RE: Jerome K. Jerome: 3 Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog)

A classic. This was one of the first books they had me read when i started learning English at university. Healthy humour.
I came across a copy some years back and simply had to buy it...

RE: Gabriel Garcia Marquez: 100 years of solitude

Difficult to keep track of all those characters with the same name!

But a good read indeed if you accept magic realism.

RE: Stephen R.Covey: The seven Habits of highly Effective people

One of the main training sources, S. Covey is brilliant in personal development.

RE: Ken Follett: The Pillars of the Earth

A great book!!! Some parts I had to push myself to go through but overall, hard to leave it once you start reading.

RE: Nora Roberts: Born In trilogy

Love Nora Roberts

RE: Alexandre Dumas: The Count of Monte Cristo

Such a good story! Interesting characters, a thrilling history that develops over a long time span, one of my favourites.

RE: Jack Kerouac: On The Road

Thanks for posting this. What a book! I read it last year and simply could not put it down. So much energy!

A really good read.

kim stanley robinson: red mars

sorry, my rating was five, not one...

RE: Mitch Albom: Tuesdays With Morrie

It is one of the best down to earth books I have ever read. It enlightens the soul, and teaches you that life is short. Morrie is the old professor who doesn't stop chatting with the main character. They make Tuesdays appointments like meeting with an old friend from your childhood or college years. It's a wonderful book if you have the time to sit down and read, not browse through it. I did read it in about 2 hours, but that's because it's a book worth keeping. Mitch Albom is an awesome author. He also wrote the Five People You Meet In Heaven, which is just heart warming.

RE: Stephanie Meyer: Twilight Saga

The fourth book is by far the best. Great series though. Love her next offering "the Host" even more. Great writer. My kids loved the movie, so I guess it hit its target audience.

RE: Mitch Albom: Tuesdays With Morrie

Good book -- everyone should read - only took me about 2 hours to read it. Thanks!

RE: William P. Young: The Shack

i just finish reading this book last week ,great & interesting reading,

RE: Stephanie Meyer: Twilight Saga

This series was passed around my work like it was made of gold. Awesom books. Very hard to put it down.

The movie a bland comparison. I think if you never read the books, the movie will still me mediocre...

RE: Stephanie Meyer: Twilight Saga

I really loved it... even when I put something on the cover when I was reading it in the bus...

RE: William P. Young: The Shack

I read The Shack a couple of months ago. It is definately worth a read.

RE: Ken Follett: The Pillars of the Earth

i loooooooooove this book

RE: Ken Follett: The Pillars of the Earth

I really enjoyed this book. The only weak part I found was the Becket's story line.
