• Oooh, this is a good one. I'd say "Animal Farm" by Orwell, "My Sister's Keeper" by Jodi Picoult, and either "On the Banks of Plum Creek" by Laura Ingalls Wilder or "Voyage of the Dawn Treader" by CS Lewis (NT) -- Lady Stormwing, 10:41:37 09/11/10 Sat

• The books I have read most often are 'Kristin Lavransdatter' by Sigrid Undset, 'Cider with Rosie' by Laurie Lee and I can't think of a third which comes close although I've lots of books I have very much enjoyed. (NT) -- Kirsten, 11:52:44 09/11/10 Sat

• I also like Guernsey L&PPS and To Kill a Mockingbird, but will offer up The Birth Of Venus by Sarah Dunant, Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell (not for everybody) and The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak. Sorry to have to leave out The Source by Michener. (NT) -- astrokath, 01:35:29 09/12/10 Sun

• Gone With The Wind, The Diviners (by Margaret Lawrence, a Cdn author not terribly well know outside Can) and The Bible - not necessarily for Christian beliefs but because it is in the basis of so much today, and so many literary references etc. I would add the 'bible' of your religion as well, if you have one.

• Where the Red Fern Grows (my absolute favorite book besides Outlander), Anne of Green Gables and The Mists of Avalon. (NT) -- Sorcha, 06:02:46 09/13/10 Mon
  • My cousin Janet also loves "Where The Red Fern Grows" and taught it in Middle School for years. I've got to check that one out. (NT) -- Lemora, 00:43:20 09/14/10 Tue
    • Oh Lemora, PLEASE let me know what you think!!! (NT) -- Sorcha, 18:39:49 09/14/10 Tue

• One of my favorite topics: TKAM has been mentioned so much, so I won't mention it. I would say, "The Mists of Avalon," by Marion Zimmer Bradley; "The Great Gatsby," by F. Scott Fitzgerald; and..... "West With The Night" by Beryl Markham. (This is an acknowledged classic, and beautifully written. BM was a licensed mail delivery pilot, flying routes over Africa in the 1920's. She was raised on a coffee plantation in Kenya, cut school to hunt with the Masai, and raised a lot of Hell among the 'White Mischief' types. She also was the first solo pilot to fly from Europe to North America, setting a record, reversing Lindbergh's trip.) This was hard, boiling it down. (NT) -- Lemora, 00:40:23 09/14/10 Tue

• I'd say A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini, The Book Thief by Markus Zusak and Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Brown. Not necessarily my favourites or the easiest to read, but books which I think deal with important subjects. (NT) -- Em, 13:55:48 09/17/10 Fri
  • Blimey Em! You read my mind. Same three books for me, plus the Bronze Horseman (NT) -- albion, 11:46:31 09/18/10 Sat
    • Yay!!! We are great!!! (NT) -- Em, 00:47:45 09/19/10 Sun
