    Loads of stuff. It's why I refuse to get rid of any books and soon we will be eating & sleeping on books.

    The Lord Of the Rings (like, 8 or 9 times )
    The Power of One by Bryce Courtenay.
    David Eddings.
    Diana Gabaldon, Stephen King, Jeffery Deaver, Marian Keyes.

    ETA - PZ - Shantaram was so good! Definitely on my list to read again, lol.

    so classic books here girls!!! what a well read bunch you all are! lol

    i'm also with the austen group and have read P&P a few times as well as Persuasion, which is my absolute fave austen novel.

    otherwise The Amtrak Wars by Patrick Tilley. Anyone inot scifi/fantasty books will love this. It's a real mergeing of sci fi and fantasty and just fab. not the usual 'farm boy has a gift he doesn't know he has and then he rules the world once he masters his powers' stuff lol.

    The Tide Lords by Jennifer Fallon - also a very interesting and different take on the fantasty genre. dh and i read these together and we still talk about them!

    great thread
