Even the introduction, huh? Well then that's promising. Happy readings to you

I agree with you completely. I think I was definitely deemed a geek in high school especially. I tended to eat lunch in the library most of the time so that I could catch up in my reading instead of hanging out with my friends . It wasn't that I didn't enjoy spending time with the pals, it was just that I adored reading so much more.

Oh I hope you enjoy it as well. This is one of the best books that I have ever read. Years back, I went to the bookstore with my cousin and she bought the book by chance since she'd read it years back and wanted to read it again. I asked her to borrow it for a bit, read some chapters, and ended up buying the book myself to finish it. Oscar Wilde was an incredible writer, and to me, this is his best piece. I was more than happy to re-read it for class once I reached high school.

I've only read Angels & Demons and The Da Vinci Code from Dan Brown. By far, the former was a lot better than the latter (as far as my preferences go between the two books). I thought that The Da Vinci Code was a little too...well...boring honestly, and less exciting in the material that Dan Brown brought forth--even if it's a work of fiction--than Angels & Demons.

I agree. Though my boyfriend tells me that H. P. Lovecraft was King's inspiration for the works that he writes, and was referred to as the master of that genre before King. However, I haven't read Lovecraft yet so 'til I do, Stephen King remains the best as far as I'm concerned. Nah, I'm sure there must be others who think the same thing .

Right now, the book that I remember making me cry like a little girl was Nights in Rodanthe, by Nicholas Sparks. It was not a great thing that at the time I was waiting for a job interview in the lobby of a hospital, surrounded by people , but ah well.

Not always, but there are times when I do. I also sometimes jot down quotes from the book that really jump out at me. And if there are any words that I've not been acquainted with before, or facts, I research them while I read to learn a little bit more about them.

I keep meaning to read Helen of Troy myself, but 'til I just saw you mention it here, I had almost forgotten I even had the book since it's so far tucked away in my bookshelf . And Emma is not too bad a read, but I would not say that it's one of the best by Austen. I much preferred Price and Prejudice and Persuasion.

I haven't seen the movie (and perhaps a good thing too since i prefer to read the book before seeing the movie) but it just so happens that I found the only copy currently at my favorite library today. I'll be reading the book very, very soon .

lol, I just happened to be stopping by...instead of being asleep as I need to be. Hope to see you around having some great fun soon!

Hey there, Rawr, and welcome

Went out to dinner with the parents and ended up having a delicious steak with salad and then some cheesecake. Yum!

You're most welcome, and I hope you find some good reads in there

Salem's Lot, by Stephen King was rather disturbing to me, despite the fact that I tend to be not as affected by such reads. And then there was Bag of Bones, by the same author. That was simple one strange book to get through, in an extremely troubling way.

I've been putting off the Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles for a good long while, along with The Mists of Avalon by Mario Zimmer Bradley, La Morte D'Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory, and Dragonwyck by Anya Seton. I might be tackling some of these after I feed from some more vamp series books.

Hello, and welcome! It's terrible that those books of yours have gone missing, but you've selected some great works to start off all over again with your collection . I'm a huge fan of historical novels and horror/thrillers as well. If you would like recommendations, how about Susan Carroll, David Gemmell, Ariana Franklin, and Cora Harrison, as far as historical fiction goes; as well as Stephen King of course, Clive Barker, H. P. Lovecraft, and Douglas Preston, for some thrilling and horror reads. I'm sure I have more suggestions but those are the ones that come to mind at the moment. Feel free to give a poke if you would like some more recommendations .

This list is shaping up nicely, Jack . How are you enjoying A Clockwork Orange thus far? It's been on my shelf for forever and I still haven't taken a chance on it.

That would be Cuba, peacefield

Of course it's allowed, BookBee I just had a ham and cheese sandwich, which is odd, since I was so hungry I thought I'd pile a plate with food tonight

Welcome, and enjoy. The place truly is addictive

I haven't been able to read all the books currently out save for the first book (they're in my growing-by-the-day TBR pile of course), but A Game of Thrones, by George R. R. Martin, from the A Song of Ice and Fire series, is, to this day, my favorite work in the fantasy genre.

Amber St. Clare, from Forever Amber, by Kathleen Winsor. The one reason why the book has been my favorite since I read it years ago is because the main character (said name) fascinates me. I wouldn't change a single thing. It would be quite an experience to see the world through her eyes even if just for a day, especially starting from mid-book onwards.

If I'm at home then it's in either the study room, or my bedroom. If outside the house, then anywhere I can find that's quiet and solitary.
