Title: Favorite Books
Post by ReeBop on Feb 24^th, 2004, 11:34pm

Well, this is the best topic to start off this new forum. What are your favorite books and authors. For me, my favorite book is Catch-22, by Joseph Heller. I've given away many copies just because I feel so strongly about this book. It is funny, witty and dark all at the same time. I find the some of the situations...especially between Major Major and Yossarian to be very relevent to today's issues.

Thankee bopbop for making this topic. This is just right up my alley :P

Favorite Book of All Time:
The Little Prince by Antoine St. De Exupery - from where the famous quote come from: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye.

Jaws by Peter Benchly. I read this when i was in the 4th grade cause my friend told me it had a lot of dirty words in it. Well yeah it has a lot of foul language in it but it was still a good book. Thats the first novel i read. Since then Ive read so many and got so many favorites, so i pick my first one as my favorite. lol ;D

too many great books to mention, for sci fi i liked William Gibsons "count Zero" Robert Anton Wilsons "Illuminatus trilogy" William F Lairds "Boomer bible" Philip K Dicks "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep" (Which became the movie "Blade Runner" philosophy i would say Lao Tsu's Te Tao Ching, Sun Tsu's "the Art Of War" Miyamato Musashis "Book of 5 rings" for classic literature i would say Machiaveli's "The Prince & The Discourses" Dante's "Divine Comedy" Edgar Allens Poes "collected Works" So Many great books not mentioned... too many to mention...

Hi Saffire, Actually, Woman of Substance is one of the books included in Harte Family Saga.

A Woman of Substance
Hold The Dream
To Be The Best
Emma's Secret

I already read "To be the Best" the characters in this book are all Emma Harte's grandchildren.

I'm still waiting for the 3 books. My Filipino friend based in Cali will be sending the 3 other books. ;D

Hey mymy i read them all but am not sure if i've read Emma's secret Its been years tho ;) Anyhow i enjoyed woman of substance best cos that was the very first beginning of Emma harte and how she struggled from a little woman to a single mother and journeyed into the world of cruelty and bitterness before she became a powerful, successful business magnate and build her own empire 8)
