the velventine rabbit. short and generally considered a child's book but it has deeper level. it becomes clear for a reaonably sensitive person.

and some things are really worth rereading. some of those like the wizard of oz deserves another readying. the best sellers about hi tech sci fi and such is just more of the same in new jacket. rewritten potboilers. some the simpliest little books show me far more. I even love uncle remus storyies. guess i like well written, simple to read and complete with a morale and good ethics. I read too many of the great novels, the seedy novels etc. in my time. the old good stories are the best. one year i set my record and read near 300 novels, really. i sould have put that time to better use. that was around 11985. it was just some escapism and sshould have been spending more time with friends and family. we might be much closer now.

The secret Life of Bees, by Sue Monk Kidd .its just a good story, I read a lot, and most titles don't stick with me ,but that one has and I read it a few years ago, also you could try Mitch Alborns, For One More Day, that is a good book, but you can finish it in a day. You could also go to the Barnes and Noble website, and look around, or join a book club on line like Double Day, they are always letting you know what the hot new books are, Happy reading.

if you like Fantasy novles then you might want to check out The Hunter's Blade Trilogy by R.A. Salvatore, the collector's edition. I've been a fan of R.A. Salvatore for quiet awhile now and I can tell you that almost any of his books are worth reading. here's a passege for you-
" My feet were light when again we departed Icewind Dale, a hearty caravan of hundereds of dwarves, a grumbling but far from miserable halfling, an adventurours woman, a mighty barbarian warrior along with his wife and child, and me, a pleasantly misguided dark elf who keeps a panther as a friend. Let the snows fall deep, the rain drive down, and the wind buffet my cloak. I care not, for I've a road worth walking!
-Drizzt Do'Urden"
If you like this one then I have many others for you to checkout as well.

"One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. It's a classic, a family epic set in Colombia, and beautifully written, wonderfully described.
Mr. Marquez won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982, and is called a master of "magic realism," tales that weave a tiny thread of "magic"... (though it is really just a different way of looking at things)... into the loom of realistic settings and characters.

"The Joy Luck Club" by Amy Tan. A book that helped set up Ms. Tan's whole career, it tells the stories of both the Chinese mothers and their daughters involved (or not) in their Joy Luck Club in America. The stories are told with a gracious flow of wonderful wording and great description, especially about the not-always-easy relationship between mother and daughter.
It passes easily between the past and the present, and gives a reader something to think about in regards the future.

I like "One Hundred Secret Senses" by the same author as well. It explores in depth the differences between traditional Chinese people and those raised as Americans.

"All the Pretty Horses" by Cormac McCarthy. A prize-winning novel about young men, boys really, who set off on horse-back going south. They are young men by book's end. A great read. McCarthy is getting a lot of attention these days.

"Teacher Man" by Frank McCourt. He got a Pulitzer for "Angela's Ashes," but I like this book as a wonderful glimpse into what it's like to learn how to teach high school English in four different New York City schools-- the true story is told as only an Irishman can, with humor and wit as well as a look at the poignant.

Hope you find what you want in all the anwers you'll get...

"The Five People You Meet in Heaven" by Mitch Albom. This is a very short novel about an old man who thinks he hasn't done anything important in his life, but when dies, he goes to Heaven and meets five people who he helped, or whose lives he changed, even though he didn't realize it at the time. I think it's a good book because it points out that we don't always realize the good things we do for other people just by being who we are.

Blindness - Jose Saramago. It will keep your interest and has a great theme to it. A white blindness becomes contagious and those exposed or infected are quarantined into an old asylum. Power struggles, fights for humanity. It is really good
