Good Books

[anniem]

I'm always looking for recommendations for books - fiction, non-fiction, religious or not....any favorites to pass along?

I am having a non fiction kick right now - if I read fiction it tends to be of blood, gore and murder types lol:

My favourite fiction is Cadfael by Ellis Peters- its nice and easy but interesting about 11th/12th Century Monk that solves crimes


Non Fiction right now I am reading

Continuum Concept by Jean Liedoff she travelled to South America and it is about using the wisdom she learned there to improve life in Western Societies.

How to Take a Japanese Bath

Secrets of my Mothers Japanese Kitchen - Naomi something

Earthbag Building (type CalEarth into google) I love enviromentally friendly buildings

I am also waiting for Little Buddhas to arrive a book about teaching children meditation and a whole pile of quilting books

I enjoy all sorts of books, so if you ever run out of ideas, get to me! lol I have a long list which includes timeless classics like peter pan, little women, sherlock holmes, the count of monte cristo, etc *half of which I actually still have to read... but then there's some like Lord of the rings and this book called quest and the good guy which're pretty awesome *once again some I can only just assume. Then there's some books from the church that are fictions like the work and the glory and some that're great talks that have been written out and stuff... the last name Lund... I can't remember the first name though... rings a bell of being great and John Bytheway is fun too. As I said before, if you get bored... let me know :P

LOL...

In all sincerity. I highly recomend the AD Chronicals by Bodie and Brock Theone. They have written other series that tie in to the AD Chronicals...and I have them all, I LOVE those authors! Also, I like Frank Perretti for Christion fiction. His book: This Present Darkness... about the battle between angels and demons was a page turner!!!!!

Anything by Ted Dekker. He's a fast-paced action/suspense writer, who does put religious undertones into his writing. The Circle Trilogy is quite compelling. His suspense novel, Thr3e is available as a DVD movie as well.

Hi!

My favorite book ever is "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen. It's simply great!
I also liked "The Secret Garden" by Frances Hodgson Burnett

Regards!

I'm always juggling about a dozen books at one time. I'm up to about 2 dozen now. Here are some of my current favorites:

• The Mind and the Brain
• Authentic Happiness
• Learned Optimism
• David O. McKay and the Rise of Mormonism
• Eternal Values and Personal Growth
• Remembering Joseph
• Hugh Nibley: a Consecrated Life
• A New Witness for Christ in America
• Abraham in Egypt

When I'm in the mood for some light fiction, I usually pick up an Agatha Christie.

For a more complete listing of what else I am reading, go to
