[Ca Plane Pour Moi]

All the Discworld books. (That'll keep you going for a while LOL.)

My Brilliant Career Miles Franklin
The Eyre Affair Jasper Fforde
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Douglas Adams
Anne Of Green Gables LM Montgomery
The Ship Who Sang Anne McCaffrey
Never Let Me Go Kazuo Ishiguro
The Shadow Of The Wind Carlos Ruiz Zafon

What books do you usually enjoy reading? Those are just a few that sprang to mind as "good" books that are easy for me to read and often make me think.

Spot on Ryn. Anything by Terry Pratchet is great! And Neil Gaiman as well.

For something completely different have you read The Time Travellers Wife? Its a lovely book. I've read it twice and refuse to see the movie cos I don't want to ruin the experience of the book.

I'm currently re-reading One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest by Ken Kesey.

If you are into historical romance Diana Gabaldon is fantastic. The first book in the series is called Cross stitch and it is about a woman who goes through standing stones back in time 200 years. I couldn't put it down...

Phillippa Gregory's books are fabulous - historical fiction, Henry VIII era, quite acurate in the facts, and a great story in between.

Jeffrey Archer has just released a 30th Anniversary edition of Kane and Abel - if you have never read it is is a GREAT story.
His short stories are also excellent

will be back wih more later

A couple of the books that I love and wholeheartedly recommend (to anyone who listens!):

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.

The Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns both by Khaled Hosseini


Infinity, I can relate to what you are saying. I find that the movies are rarely as good as the books (there are a few notable exceptions). I will not see The Road, as I recently read the book. And I have decided not to see The Lovely Bones, because I want to read the book first.

I agree with Kylieb77 - The Cross Stitch series by Diana Gabaldon. I've just finished book 2, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The main male character, Jamie, does wonders for the imagination

I third Diana Gabaldon - I've just finished book 5 - and will head out to buy book 6 tomorrow - they are unputdownable!!!
