For book lovers...?

Question

What is your favorite book? Who's the author? and What is it about? I'm looking for good books to buy and I need some suggestions.

Answer 1

I personally enjoy the Anita Blake series by Laurell K Hamilton, beginning with Guilty Pleasures.

The novels are a mixture of murder mystery and romance, all rolled together in an alternate universe where vampires, werewolves, and everything supernatural are abundant and even have the right to vote.

If you're looking for something a little more... wholesome, I might suggest the increasinly popular Gregory Maguire, who rewrites well-known fairy tales in an interesting new light.
These include Mirror Mirror, Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister, and the inspirations for the incredibly popular new Broadway musical, Wicked.

Happy reading, whatever you choose.

Answer 2

You're a girl, right. Well, I don't know what genre you are about, and I have so many book loves. So I will do some assuming. Clan of the cave bear was really interesting. The vampire books by Anne Rice are done very well, don't just go by the movies. Anything Stephen King and you can't go wrong, IMHO. I just read Schindler's List, very excellent if you like history. Dean Koontz is always a good read and there are many to choose from. If you like medical thrillers, try Robin Cook. Great Expectations, Treasure Island and A Tale of two cities are great old literature if you can get past the boring parts. Robinson Crusoe is one of the best. That should get you going, happy reading.

Answer 3

It depends on what you like. A good adult fiction, but based on reality is "The Nanny Diaries". A good fantasy Juvenile Fiction is Eragon. Then of course, in juvenile fiction, though loved by all ages are The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis. John Stossel has written a couple of very good non-fiction books. If you want to read something really hilarious, try The Darwin Awards, and for mystery, the very Best is Ruth Rendell, my favorites are A sight for sore eyes, and The Crocodile Bird. My favorite classic author is Charles Dickens and his best book in my opinion is A Tale of Two Cities. Another interesting non-fiction book is The Sociopath Next Door. The best memoir I've ever read is Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt. It is the story of his childhood in the slums of Ireland and his eventual immigration to the U.S. It is followed by another book called 'Tis which goes into more detail of his experience as an immigrant in the U.S. An informative, non-fiction, is The Marketing of Evil. These are some of the books I like. It is hard to know what to suggest without knowing your age and your interests. Hope you find some great reading.

Answer 4

I like Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan [if you like fantasy] because it has a very good interwoven plot and is all around just an awesome book. or I guess I should say series - 12 books in all! but [again, if you like fantasy] you won't mind there being so many books because the story is very engrossing. It's like usual fantasy books - there's a hero that has to save the world from the Dark One, but he has no skills, there's magic, blah blah blah. But the characters are very life-like and believable. it's a veeery good story and I highly recommend it. My only regret about it is that it's too long to be made into a movie... =(

If you like old literature - I liked Jane Austen a lot, especially Pride and Prejudice - such a good book. And you can never go wrong with Shakespeare either. =)
