I absolutely love to read, however I am quite concerned more people don't enjoy this hobby. Lately the best-selling non-fiction novels have been diet books! Oh, what a terrible state the world is in!
I have dozens of favorite books - I simply can't choose! - but the book I have read the most, a total of forty-eight times, is The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulkagov. Absolutely fabulous book!

I am a teen and I love to read!
My favorite books would have to be:
Tithe by Holly Black
Uglies by Scott Westerfeld
and of course...
the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling.
TITHE---Sixteen-year-old Kaye is a modern nomad. Fierce and independent, she travels from city to city with her mother's rock band until an ominous attack forces Kaye back to her childhood home. There, amid the industrial, blue-collar New Jersey backdrop, Kaye soon finds herself an unwilling pawn in an ancient power struggle between two rival faerie kingdoms -- a struggle that could very well mean her death.
UGLIES---Tally Youngblood has been brought up in a world where people are considered ugly after age 12, when they are sent to live in Uglyville. Everyone is given an operation to become pretty at age 16. Tally is almost 16 and can hardly wait to get her operation, but she makes a new friend who feels differently. While it seems a minor problem, it evolves into something much bigger. Suddenly Tally questions everything she has ever believed in. And now the only thing that seems important to her is the horrible truth she has learned about becoming pretty.
***The summaries of the books may sound boring, but they are really both great! The Tithe book has a sequel comming out soon, the name is Ironside. And In the Uglies Trilogy, there is also Pretties and Specials.***
I really hope you will read these books.

I LOVE to read and now have found ways to make it even more part of my life by selling on-line. I mean I have to buy books to sell and I have to read to see what's going on. And since I expect writing to be part of it, too, I have to read for research! I have even purchased a few based on positive reactions from people on here.
My favorite book...I need to add an s and say favorite books. I enjoyed Piers Anthony's On a Pale Horse, the first of a series about the Incarnations of Immortality. I remember saying this is the best to my Mom.
Misery, by Stephen King was another favorite. While I read it I verbalized some of what I could picture - gross out!
Corrie ten Boom's The Hiding Place. I haven't read that forever, but it's a story about a holocaust survivor.
Tryst, by Elswyth Thane. It's an old romance - I loved it the first time I read it, wondered why it wasn't made into a movie, read it again, cried and sold it. I didn't think I could handle reading it again.
That's enough for now. Thanks for asking! How about you? Favs?

Read or not to read? What is the difference? Well! choosing not to read closes ones mind to all the thoughts and ideas created in the minds of writers throughout modern and ancient times! You can sit alongside a bomber pilot in the second world war, as he narrates his story of frightening action over Germany! The flak going off! Fighters, machine- gunning his aircraft as he desperately flings his machine around the sky to escape the canon shells! all in a book! Or trek with Marco Polo on his journeys through China! All in a book! How about Roaming with dinosaurs in a primeval forest two hundred million years ago? All in a book! Read a book and it can take you to any place in time or space or even through time, as in the book called 'the time machine' I would certainly plump for reading a book! It opens your universe! Have a good day!

I love To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. It is so beautifully written. The words she uses are like music! I've read it easily 15 times (I teach), and I love it every time.
I also am crazy about A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving. It's so hilarious and endearing and tragic all in one book. Owen is the best friend of the narrator and he has this problem with his voice, so everything comes out as a sort-of scream. Everything he says, either directly or in reference, IS WRITTEN ALL IN CAPS. I've never seen anything like it! A good book. A great book!
