I'm currently reading "Casino Royale", the James Bond novel by Ian Fleming. I really don't know my favorite book or author because there are so many of them.

I'm not reading anything right now, but I think for people who are fans of vampire books, "Blue Bloods" and the sequel "Masquerade" by Melissa de la Cruz are really good. They have a third one out now that I haven't boughten.

I read them 2 years ago, so I can't remember exactly what they were about. But I bought copies of them after I returned them to the library.
That's gotta say something.

I'm reading "A is for Alibi" by Sue Grafton. (I had first read her book "B is for burglar", then discovered she's doing an alphabet series!).
It's about a private detective. In this one she's hired by a woman who just got out of jail to look into the murder of her husband/ex-husband as she claims she was wrongly jailed for that.
I'm not very far through it so I don't know if there's many other little mini-plots or anything yet

My favourite books are probably the Sherlock Holmes stories, by Sir Arthur Connan Doyle.

I haven't been reading (for fun) for long so I don't really have any favourite authors yet as I've only read one or two by the same author.
I've been lucky enough to pick out books I enjoyed though I've liked every book I've read so far. A few were a bit difficult to get through, but still overall nice to read {thumb2}

just finished reading hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy by douglas adams. i really cant do it justice in a description, but its mostly about a guy who escapes the earth just before it gets blown up, and then his travels around teh universe which all end in a very unlikely explanation of life as we know it not geeky sci-fi, something there for everyone.
should probably be reading organic chemistry by clayden etc, but thats rubbish. no storyline or anything. lots of pictures though...overall i dont reccomend it

my favourite book is probably one flew over the cuckoos nest by ken kesey. very, very good book about life in a mental hospital (theres probably a better word for it...) under the care of a very old-fashioned nurse, which is all turned upside down by a guy who goes there from a work farm and messes with authority and that. this is why i dont write the back covfers of books...

favourite author? dont have one. just like what i like.

I am currently reading Misha by Misha Defonseca. It's a true story about a 7 year old girl traveling through Europe during wwII. Very intense book.
After this I am going to read Desert Flower by Waris Dirie (also a true story).
And I also just bought Thanks for the Memories by Cecilia Ahern. Love her books.

I'm reading 'The Stand' by Steven King. It's my fourth or so attempt at it, because I forget that I need to read it. I only started reading it last night, so I don't really know what it's about. I also have 'The Shining' that needs to be read, and that's about it.
My favourite type of book is ones with lovely chocolate brownie recipes in
I'm also (meant to be) reading 'Frankenstein' for English. I'm never going to read it out of choice.

Everyones replies were so interesting to read I like the sound of a lot of the books you said about.
The next book I'm going to read is 'His favourite wife' by Susan Ray Schmidt. Can't wait to read it! It's by another of the wives of Verlan LeBaron, the man Irene Spencer, who I said about in my first post, was married to

I am currently reading the autobiography of Mark Felt. Sorry that I can't remember the title.

No favorite author because I generally read biographies and history.

Favorite book is probably The Man of Bronze by Kenneth Robeson. This was the first in a series of adventure books written in the 1930's and 40's.

I'm currently reading Twilight. I think everyone knows what that's about - It's a vampire love story. It's great so far. I was also reading My Sisters Keeper by Jodi Picoult and that was about a sister who was born to keep her other sister alive. She got sick of doing so, so she planned to sue her family.

The best book I ever read was Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult. I could NOT put that book down. It's about a school shooting the before and after affects of it. The shooter lives, the ending is unpredictable. Great book.

Jodi Picoult is my favorite author, hands down. Read a book by her and you'll be a fan!

I'm currently reading: THE MOONSTONE, but it's been on hold for a while ! Oops! Anyway, it's a "mystery"-esque novel from the 1870s about India!?? I hope so!

The best book I have ever read is probably the Woman in White, also by Wilkie Collins. It's about a "mysterious woman dressed in white" who seems to be a ghost, but not really! It's been turned into a musical, which other than the actual secret that Anne Catherick (the Woman in White) holds, seems to follow atleast pretty much on target). I highly recommend it!, it's extremely well known in London to my understanding. (Anne maybe you can help out with that!)

Runner-Ups: The Scarlet Pimpernel, Les Miserables, Catcher in the Rye, Devil in the White City

Favourite author? Probably Wilkie Collins. He's dead, for a long time unfortunately, but I also like the way that J.D. Salinger writes.

To be honest, I LOVE reading books that have been the basis of musicals. Not only do I get a "summary"-esque of it on a recording, but the potential to see it live, the way someone else sees ______, among other things. Plus it makes a great reading comprehender .

Hope to read soon: A Tale of Two Cities, maybe even Gone with the Wind
