Cheri, I read "Memroires of a Geisha" also and that was a very good read. You'll enjoy.

And, you don't have to limit it to three, as a matter of fact, why don't we continue the thread by saying list the top 5 books you've ever read in your lifetime that you love the most?

*s*

-Lonesome Dove fits in there somewhere with me
-In the Garden of Good and Evil - before it was made into a film - was just fantastic
-Any of the Diana Gabaldon books about the Highland
-The Stand, by Stephen King
-A Time to Kill - by John Grisham

Ooooh, I'm 5 for 5.. maybe I shoulda upped the number? S'ok, y'all list as many as you want, it gives us who love to read a plethora of titles and authors from which to choose.

[teresafannin]

I love Marion Zimmer Bradleys Avalon trilogy, have read all of them several times. I also love Tolkein & the first Shannara books. I have so many favorites I couldn't begin to list them all. Every once in awhile I do read a good bodice buster, "Skye O'Malley" is my favorite. Another fun book is "Uppity Women of the Middle Ages", awesome book that my sis gave me for Christmas 2 years ago. I am just starting to read the Harry Potter books. My niece says they are totally awesome, so that will be winter time reading.

 

[Whispersecret]

Last three:

Father In Training by Molly Molay
Groom's Revenge by Susan Crosby (I read category romance because I'm writing one and I need a feel of the current market.)
Moon Dance by somebody Solotow(?)

I'm still reading The Legacy of Divorce... by Judith Wallerstein and The Book of Jewish Values by Rabbi Joseph Telushkin.

 

[CreamyLady]

The Harry Potter books are awesome; I have been enjoying them tremendously.

I think one of the most beautiful books I ever read was The Woman Warrior, by Maxine Hong Kingston.

 

[Aranian]

Believe it or not, I've read them four times! I love them, turned my whole family onto them, and will probably read them again one day. It's like Tolkien for grown-ups.

OMG! Someone actually liked those?!? I read the first two and gave up. I can't appreciate a protagonist that spends more time wallowing in self-pity than going out and doing heroics. Particularly in a fantasy setting.

 

[Samuari]

From my night stand:

The Callahan Chronicals by Spider Robinson
Personal Strategies for Living with Stress by Richard Stein, M.D
Carpe Diem by Tony Campolo
More Than Honor by David Weber
Storms of Victory by Jerry E. Pournelle and Roland Green
Dave Barry Does Japan by Dave Barry

[Oliver Clozoff]

Bliss, To Kill a Mockingbird is an all-time favorite.

I'm embarrassed to list my most recent three reads. The following should put me in the running for dork of the year:

1. Cecil's Textbook of Internal Medicine
2. The Washington Manual of Therapeutics
3. Current Medical Treatment and Diagnosis

let the ridicule begin.

 

[•Quartz_Crystal•]

•'The other side and back', by Sylvia Browne (I recommend it to people who have open minds)

•'A Stolen Heart'by Candace Camp

Some Dean Koontz book, I can't recall the name right now and I'm not getting up just to go look

 

[Hecate]

Recently finished: Amber-series by Zelazny

reading atm: The Ghormengast Trilogy by Marvin Peaks (I think anyway that is how it is spelled)

constant "companion": Tao Te Ching (an english translation)

 

[Gaucho]

Well, no wonder, Doc! There's not a titty book on that list.

 

[•Quartz_Crystal•]

I'm just curious Oliver....*laughs while saying the name in her head*
Are you a clinical dr. or involved in any form of reasearch?


I'm going to guess clinical.

Internal medicine specialist? No?

Family physician? yes?

Nice books by the way!!

 

[Merelan]

Hecate..
every day I learn something more about you. The Tao....
woah. I think I love you.

Poor, poor Dr. ClothesOff!

Books are something you escape into. Technical manuals are something you eventually end up trying to escape from!

Oh, well. At least I know someone else out there has wondered where, and why, the hell Harper is hiding the rest of her works. In 25 years, will we be seeing those or will Mockingbird get the same piss poor "interpretive sequel" treatment as Gone with the Wind?

I think I like Gaucho's idea for your reading list!

 

[Oliver Clozoff]

Well, no wonder, Doc! There's not a titty book on that list.

Nope, Gaucho, there sure isn't. What do you think the internet is for?

Quartz Crystal: Wow. I certainly didn't expect to be complimented on my reading list. I have a feeling that had you ever read those texts, you might have shown me pity intead, though. hehe

You're on the right track about me being a clinician, but I'm actually a clinician-in training: a junior medical student. I just happen to have just finished an internal medicine rotation. I start 2 months of pediatrics Monday.

Bliss: I've read that there's some question of the actual authorship of To Kill a Mockingbird. I don't know if there's any evidence to back it up, but the argument is essentially, "How could a person who wrote nothing else of any real literary merit conceive such a masterpiece?". Truman Capote and others were mentioned as the possible actual author.

As with the battle of who wrote Shakespeare's plays, though, I think this misses the point. Enjoy the work for its own sake and let the scholars squabble over the rest.

 

[Cheri]

Poor Olly! Pediatrics? That means you won't even be seeing titties anytime soon! Better go buy yourself a Busty, honeybunch, before you burst!

 

[Naked Hunny]

I honestly dont care if Harper Lee wrote To Kill a Mockingbird or not because that has to be one of the best books I have ever read and if it is ever taking off of the local high school reading list i will be the first to go up there and fight that one. That was the one book I had to read that I enjoyed so much i stayed up and read the whole thing in one night!!

Last three books i read hmm

One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish by Dr. Suess
Baby Mickey's ABC Adventure
Back Roads by Tawni O'dell
Ok I know it was one of Oprahs Book Club books but i read the first chapter when it was the book of the month on Barnes and Noble and I just had to read the rest!!

 

[Oliver Clozoff]

Better go buy yourself a Busty, honeybunch, before you burst!

Hmmmmm... buy myself a busty, huh? Why buy if I can muster enough charm and flattery to convince the lovelytalentedsexypassionatedynamic ladies of this board to show me what I've been missing.

I wonder who I can ask...

 

[Cheri]

I wonder who I can ask...

Sweet polite you, are you asking to see my rack?

 

[Gaucho]

I wonder who I can ask...

Sweet polite you, are you asking to see my rack?

Here! Here! Oops. I'm sorry.

I meant "Hear, Hear!"

 

[Expertise]
