What book have you always wanted to read?

[Oorki Galoorki]

"Why Does He Do That" by Lundy Bancroft

Buddhism for Mothers

[LionsandBears]

The Art of War, Sun Tzu

I loved Wuthering Heights. Haven't read it in years. I was actually thinking of To Kill a Mockingbird yesterday - has to be one of the best books I've ever read and the movie is fantastic too.

I had always wanted to read 'Catcher in the Rye'

Me too

The Lord of the Rings trilogy (it's a trilogy, right?)

Maybe I should just watch the movies

We have it in a 7-part volume (a septology?) ... watch the movies!

The Art of War, Sun Tzu

Learned about it when doing a course on war and peace through the ages

Leo Tolstoy War and Peace is my contribution to this list ... don't know if I could, though

I used to have all these books I "should" get around to reading but then a few years back I thought "hang on, how about I just read what I like?" . So now if I don't get past the first chapter, out it goes. That said, some books need to be read once you are older. For me it is Simone de Beauvoir's "The Mandarins". It is about a group of French intellectuals after WW2 and their turmoils and relationships. I have started it twice and got a bit further each time, but I've decided its a book IU will revisit every five years or so and read further as I age.
