My favourite ever is "Pride and prejudice". I like it because it �s never old fashioned, it seems written in our days for the way we have to judge at first sight.

My favourite books are Gone with the wind by Margaret Mitchell ( i love the film too), Whutering Heights by Emily Bronte and The name of the Rose ( I don �t know if it �s correct the name in English) by Umberto Eco. I read them more than 15 years ago. Now I haven �t had enough time to read as I �d like. I like a lot some books by Marcos Aguinis, I love mistery so Stephen King and Agatha Christie are genious for me and I really love historical books and biographies. In fact, I love reading!!!! |

Can we say authors as well as books? I am an avid book reader and

The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe by CS Lewis
Foucault �s Pendulum by Humberto Eco
Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery
The Clan of the Cave Bear - by J.Auel (thanks Anita, I forgot about this one... I read it when I was 14 and just loved it.)
Tigana - Guy Gavriel
Riding the Red Rooster by Paul Theroux
The Hobbit by Tolkien
Writers I love:
Anne Rice
Edgar Allen Poe
George RR Martin
Caleb Carr
Marion Zimmer Bradly
John Saul
V.C. Andrews
Marion Keys
Ken Follet
Bernard Cornwall
Series I enjoyed:
Harry Potter
Naria
Twilight
A Song of Ice and Fire

And the list could go on... but these are books I have reread at least twice, not to say three or four times so far.

Hello Zorita,
I �ve never liked Edga Allen Poe!!! When I was at univ, I didn �t read any of his stories. But, I read the summaries and studied notebooks and critical studies instead.
However, I agree with you when it comes to Vampire Chronicles & Lord of the Rings. |

mariannina,
In vain have I struggled. It will not do. My feelings will not be repressed. You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.
Can you think of a more contradictory, senseless, unreasonable, desperate love declaration? Yet so intense, particularly in Colin Firth�s performance.
The Mists of Avalon: I read the whole series. About the first book: just couln �t stop; I read it a long time ago, but remember it took me 3 nights.

Most of my favourite books have been listed already. I have just finished reading Ken Fowlett �s The Pillars of the Earth and will order World Without End. Can �t wait to read it! Meanwhile, I have started to read Maeve Binchy �s Whitethorn Woods. I love her novels: Tara Road, The Copper Beech (one of my professors had a copper beech in front of his house. It is the only one I have seen but it was so beautiful that I never forgot), Circle of Friends, Evening Class...
My daughters are also avid readers. I think it is the most important thing that I have given them. |

Yep, Phillipa �s "The Other Boleyn Girl" makes you want to read and read. It gives an insight into the schemes going on in court at the time and all the hypocrisy ... When you think about it, nothing �s changed after 500 years. It �s just more modern. "The Queen �s Fool" is still on the shelf waiting for me to read it.
