I had to read that book for last year. It was a pretty good book (and I don't say that often). I also like Of Mice and Men.

I LOVE the Wizard of Oz books. Only the first 14 by the original author are the best.

I also love Stephen King.

*Marilyn Monroe* · 08-20-2002, 01:19 AM

Intellectual topics? On this board? HA! lol jk

I have so many favorites:

"Lucky" by Jackie Collins
"The Giver" by Lois Lowry
"A Child Called It" by Dave Pelzer
The Little House of the Prairie Series by Laura Ingalls Wilder
"Where the Heart Is" by Billie Letts
"Little Women" by Louisa May Alcott

There are so many more, but I'm sure more people are gonna want to post on this one. lol

I forgot 'Of Mice and Men' again. That is an excellent book. It has a sad ending, but its still good.

I like to read Laurell K. Hamilton's "Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter" series. It's like an R-rated Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Warm & Fuzzy · 08-20-2002, 11:45 AM

"To Kill A Mockingbird" was a pretty good book. I think it was by Harper Lee. Another good one is "The Sign of The Beaver," of course I haven't read it in ages so I don't remember a thing about it, but that's another story. I have to agree with Jenny about "Of Mice and Men" and uhh, EB White has always been one of my favorite authors. Of course she only wrote three books.

All which have been made into films/ cartoons. "Bridge to Terbithia" was also a good one, and lastly any R.L Stine book.

I've been meaning to read that since seventh grade, and STILL haven't gotten to it yet, lol..

And oh yeah, add "Gifted Hands" by Dr. Ben Carson, as well. It's one of the only biographies I actually enjoy reading. He has pretty interesting things to say..
