Which of these books would you prefer? look inside, theres a list?
Lord of the Flies, great book. I love reading about the boys and how they would deal with things when civilization isn't there for them. Also if it's for school it's one of the easiest books to write reports on because there's so much symbolism in it.
Reply:Flowers For Algernon is great. I also like Tuesdays With Morrie. You can't read it without thinking about what's really important in life, and what's not.
Reply:Wow that is a pretty varied list. Out of the list I suggest Dracual by Bram Stoker; Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes; All Creatures Great and Small James Herriot; and Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom
Reply:I read Death Be Not Proud when I was in college and it has left a profound feeling in me because of the courage exhibited. When I have become seriously ill myself, I've thought of it.
Reply:Into the wild, probably most entertaining, and easiest to read, or into thin air is great too
Reply:I haven't read all of these, but I'd pick Flowers For Algernon.
Reply:um if i were you i would pick the choclate warn that sounds cool and delicios yuuuummmm !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:This is not in your list but you have got to read Eragon, especially if you like magic!!!! There's a sequel to Eragon it's Eldest.
Reply:This is a VERY tough question, because there are so many good books on that list.





If I have to pick, I would choose All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot. Not only did James Herriot write in an engaging manner and with self-deprecating wit, his stories are true. To me it's a plus to read true stories about animals that also contain unique people to meet along the way.





Because I love mystery, too, my second and third choices would be Where are the Children? by Mary Higgins Clark and And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie (in no particular order). They are both well-written, enjoyable mysteries. As usual both Agatha Christie and Mary Higgins Clark write great stories...
Reply:Dracula all the way because I love practicly anything to do with Vampires or some type of mystical creature
Reply:Since I'm a med student and want to read something to inspire me, I love to read Gifted Hands by Ben Carson. It's a very nice book about boldness to change to life. Besides, I love Tuesday With Morrie and The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams. I don't like I Robot very much because of the story line. Sorry, I can't give my opinion about other book because I haven't read them. I would like to have further discussion about books that interested you and me. So, I would like to invite you to join my group at http://www.shelfari.com/milmillington2/g... (Marlyn's Books Centre)
Reply:All Creatures Great and Small, by James Herriot Its one of my all time favorite books. The stories in it are heartwarming, sad, and funny. It never gets old no matter how many times i reread it.
Reply:Of the list, Dracula belongs at the top. No competition. Pax - C
