What is your all time favourite?

[tiggerblue10]

Elizabeth the Queen by Alison Weir. I've read it twice. I have also read Silence of the Lambs 3 times. Its an excellent book and much better than the film.

I read The Hobbit and LOTR when I was at school.

[Rosetta]

I love reading new books, so i enjoy others suggestions
I'll look out for those novels by Alison Weir . Thank you !!!1

Elizabeth I is my favourite monarch in British history. She is a fascinating subject to read about. I love historical figures anyway.

I am currently reading a book about Jane Boleyn who was married to Anne Boleyns brother. She was executed following the downfall of Catherine Howard.

sorry to lower the tone, but I loved, "the curious incident of the dog in the night-time"!

Rosetta, how could you read a book more than once? Don�t you find it becomes boring especially since you will know what the next chapter is about?

[Rosetta]

Wow, tigger blue, how are your lovely pussycats.
I have just finished reading a historical whodunnnit series set in Henry Viii times by CJ Sansom. There are 4 in the series and have very much enjoyed them.
Thank you for that . I will look out for your suggestion

Tigger and Blue are fine thank you Rosetta. They send the meows to you :-) xxx

[Rosetta]

Sara, thank you for that, I ve seen loads of reviews for that book, but never got round to it. Its definitely on my list!!

Lajohn How many films have you watched when you have knownthe ending. No difference!!! Some books are definitely worth a second ( or more) read. In fact, bits you missed get oickrd up another time

[tiggerblue10]

I agree Rosetta. Each time I read The Silence of the Lambs I got something new from it. The same with Elizabeth.

[glasman]

I'll throw out a few suggestions:-

Grapes of wrath - John Steinbeck.
Wild Swans - Jung Chang.
Amongst Women - John Mc Gahern.

If you're in the mood for a thriller, anything from Tess Gerritsen or Jeffrey Deaver have good stories and are well written.

[tiggerblue10]

Talking of John Steinbeck, Of Mice and Men is also a brilliant book.

[Rosetta]

Omg, cant respond quick enough instantlly but will do so in a minute or 2

[lajohn]

i understand. for me it would be boring, and I feel the same about movies too.

have you read this novel "A Suitable Boy"? it's 1473 pages short and well worth reading. unlike any other books i've read.

[tiggerblue10]

Its Ok Rosetta, take your time hun :-) x

[EngTeach]

I love The Great Gatsby, Of Mice and Men, The Pearl

On a lighter level, I love the Barbara Taylor Bradford -Woman of Substance books.

Right now I am into Jodi Picoult- My Sister's Keeper, Change of Heart, and Nineteen Minutes.

[Rosetta]

oooo Tiggerblue Elizabeth I is my favorite Queen. But the lives of her mother and the other wives of Henry VIII interest me to. My favorite period in history.
My favorite book is a very modern one at the moment.
It's Called World War Z.
I have read it about 4 times since I got it last year.

[tiggerblue10]

I love the Tudors Tiger. I have also read a lot about the Stuarts who are fascinating.

[Rosetta]
