Favorite Book and/or Author
After completing my master's degree, I am reading any and every thing not related to education that I can get my hands on. I have always loved to read, but didn't have time when I was working on my degree.
Absolute fav's: Tales of a 4th grade nothing by Judy Blume A time to kill by John Grisham Misery by Stephen King Great reads: Any Kay Scarpetta books by Patricia Cornwell David Baldacci (I've only read Absolute Power - loved it - but I'm working on Saving Faith and its great too). I guess you can tell that I'm a huge mystery/suspense fan! So what are your favorite books and/or authors? ------------------ "Alpha Chi Omega - If you only had 2 wishes, what would your second one be?" |
The Mists of Avalon, by Marion Zimmer Bradley.
------------------ Always Seek Knowledge Alpha Sigma Kappa - Women in Technical Studies |

I am in agreeance with you on the Patricia Cornwell. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif I was just saying I wanted to read her latest! Good to see another fan. B.N. |
BrandNubian...which new one?
If anyone hasn't read these, I would definitely say start from the beginning. Although the plots can stand alone, her excellent work with blending the characters and their roles can only be appreciated by starting at the top. I did not like Hornets Nest & Southern Cross which she also wrote - they were just so ordinary compared to her extraordinary Scarpetta series. ------------------ "Alpha Chi Omega - If you only had 2 wishes, what would your second one be?" |

I don't like Hornet's Nest or Southern Cross too much either. She should stick with Scarpetta. The name of the new book is "The Last Precinct"...it's out at the stores already. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif B.N. |

Email me if you have any other good suggestions! ------------------ "Alpha Chi Omega - If you only had 2 wishes, what would your second one be?" |
if any of u are interested in science fiction then i suggest u check out WILD SEED by Octavia Butler and also KINDRED by Octavia Butler.
(That chic can write!!) |
I just finished The Last Precinct. I thought I had a good secret to share, but am happy to see Patricia Cornwell is getting recognition. Everyone should read her books!

Some all-time faves are:
Catcher in the Rye -J.D. Salinger The Chocolate War - Robert... Can't remember his last name! A pretty recent book that's awesome: The Student Body- Jane Harvard (if you like suspense/mystery it's a pretty hip version of it) And my 2 fave authors, (I just adore anything they wrote/ write): Shel Silverstein Douglas Coupland ------------------ SilverTurtle@greekchat.com Phi Beta Fraternity Phi chapter |
Ok, my all time favorite book of my life is:
Song of Solomon Toni Morrison Wont' even bother to go into my reasons here on this board. Too many. Several things in the book just speak to me. I've ready it so many times I've stopped counting. I have to get a new copy since I let my ex borrow it and he never returned it. Jeez, I sure miss my book . .. Asia |

is by "Robert Cormier" (I confirmed this on amazon.com). As an interesting aside, Douglas Coupland was in my sister's grad class...how cool is that? Class of 1979: http://www.sd45.bc.ca/sd45/sentinel/ My favorite book is "Alive" by Piers Paul Reid. I love that show "Sex & The City", but I just read Candace Bushnell's book with the same name, and it was depressing and boring! |
My favs, in no particular order:
Redemption Song - Bertice Berry Beloved - Toni Morrison Sister, Sister - Eric Jerome Dickey Sister Secrets and Beyond Our Mothers' Footsteps - Breggie James Waiting to Exhale - Terri McMillan Blessings - Sheneska Jackson and the list goes on.... |

I love Octavia. I love pretty much all of her stuff!!! http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif She's great! I love the way she mixes African-American culture with science fiction. B.N. |
Quote:
Let's see, another good person to read is James Patterson ("Kiss the Girls")... B.N. |

Question for anyone: Where can you find a list of books by an author in the order they were published? Like I'd like to read Patterson from the top. I know that characters may change, but I like to get a feel for the author and his/her progress with each publication. ------------------ "Alpha Chi Omega - If you only had 2 wishes, what would your second one be?" |
