i also enjoyed dan browns books the davinci code etc.
the scariest was stephen kings 'IT'

[B00]

Ooo yeah Feary Tale, great book!

[chelle7272]

To Killa mockingbird is my favourite all time,
Of Mice and Men too.
Agree Raymond Feist's are great books and if you like that sort of fantasy thing Robert Jordans Wheel of Time books are amazing (though there's a lot!)

Hi Kate. I have read Clan of the Cave Bear and the follow ons. Excellent books. IT is my second favourite of Stephen Kings after The Stand.

They did make a film of Clan of the Cave Bear but it was rubbish!

The Kite Runner and A Thousand splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini

[SLINKYKATE]

i seen the film 'clan of the cave bear' there was so much left out,so disappointing.

The Name Of The Rose

by Umberto Eco

[ianfran]

the Name of the Rose is excellent, joggerjayne - great film adaptation too with Sean Connery and Christian Slater!

:0)

ianfran...

Yes, the movie made quite a decent attempt at the book.

But isn't the book simply extraordinary.

It just leaves other murder mysteries in the shade.

Every playboy,by hugh hefner.

[Bbbananas]

I don't know about the most memorable ever, but Shadow of the Wind really impressed me, maybe because I wasn't really expecting to enjoy it.

I agree with Cathy - Khaled Hosseini's books are great also.

I have read thousands of books, give me time & I'm sure I could come up with a long list, but for now shadow of the wind will have to do.

[ianfran]

agree with you there, jogger!

[tiggerblue10]

I've read loads of good books but I like history books mainly. My favourite is a book about Elizabeth I. She was an iconic person for me.

Fave fiction is Silence of the Lambs, Pride & Prejudice, Tess of The D'Urbervilles and Les Liaison Dangereruses. I also loved the LOTR trilogy and Da Vinci Code which I couldn't put down.
