All very good reads....
Reply:I just read The Grapes of Wrath. I thought it would be boring but I loved it. Some of my favorite books are those by Jean Auel, Clan of the Cave Bear and the other four, but you've probably already read them. My husband had to talk me into reading them, but I've read them over and over since then.
Reply:Snow Falling on Cedars; The Five People You Meet in Heaven; A Prayer for Owen Meany; any Anne Tyler book; The House of Sand and Fog. That should give you a start.
Reply:'The Sword Of Shannara' and 'The Elfstones of Shannara', by Terry Brooks


The 'Prydain' chronicles, by Lloyd Alexander


The 'Earthsea' books, by Ursula K. leGuin


'In the Heat of the Night', by John Ball

You can browse through name or author; I particularly love anything written by Jane Austen, and Louise May Alcott
Reply:I second The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck, I read it when I was 16 years old, made a profound impact on me. I has to be my all time favorite!


~Stones from the River by Ursul Hegi


~Don Quixote by Cervantes and if you can find it at the library


~Dore's Illustrations for Don Quixote by Gustave Dore -great!


~The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers (her first novel, written when she was just 23 years old, amazing!).


~The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka (a little weird but interesting, lol, and very short)


~Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen


~Emma by Jane Austen - more Austen, don't you love her?


~Testament by John Grisham (everyone loves John Grisham but this is particularly good, not a courtroom drama)


~Beach Music by Pat Conroy


~Time's Witness by Michael Malone


~Charming Billy by Alice McDermott


~Clear Springs by Bobbie Ann Mason


~Dreaming Southern by Linda Bruckheimer


~Leaving Eden by Anne D. LeClaire


~Gap Creek by Robert Morgan


~Drive Like Hell by Dallas Hudgens


~Black Betty by Walter Mosley (one of Bill Clinton's


~A Little Yellow Dog by Walther Mosely - favorite authors)


~Moby Dick by Herman Melville (you'll learn everything you could ever know about life on a whaling vessel but hang in there, it's a great novel, considered the great American novel).


Oh, so many books, so little time, these I read recently and I know I've got a ton more but just can't bring them to mind right now.


Have fun!
