What should I read next?

That is an excellent goal. And great for your mind. The last good book I read was The Shack. I highly recommend it. Loved every minute of it.

Anne, if you like romance with some inspiration and suspense, Steeple Hill publishing prints out these books every month and if your library can get some, they are easy reading, (I can read one in a weekend) and gets you away from it all. I don't have a favorite author, but I read as many as I can get my hands on.. Since there are a variety of authors this publisher puts out, I thought I would grab this link of a new author's excerpt of her new book. She sounds promising: http://camys-loft.blogspot.com/2011/11/excerpt-lakeside-reunion-by-lisa-jordan.html?utm_medium=facebook&utm_source=twitterfeed

I like science fiction and fantasy, so I recommend Mercedes Lackey for fantasy, especially her Valdamar series and Anne McCaffrey's Dragon books or her "Ship" books, best to start with the Ship Who Sang in that series. I'll also recommend Orson Scott Card with Ender's Game and his "Shadow" series. Honestly, the only one in that series I can't whole heartedly recommend is Children Of the Mind.

Go to your local library and take home half a dozen books. If you find one you really like then go back and get more by the same author.

I am bookish too Anne18. Actually, I have several collection of books. The last book I read was the Arts of War. But I would not recommend it to you because it bores me. I know that it gives wisdom. However, it is not so entertaining. The book that I would recommend would be Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. It is entertaining, as well as gives you insights on how to manage finances properly. It also shares values on how to treat money. Money should not rule your life but it should only serve as an instrument to do the things that needs to be done. Another book that I would recommend are books by John Maxwell. His expertise are on leadership traits. Maxwell's books teaches values on how to be a good leader and he tells us that each one of us are leaders and the 1st person that we lead are ourselves. Hope you will enjoy them. Have a nice day.

How about the books of Georgia Nicolson? Angus, thongs and full-frontal snoggin, It's ok, I'm wearing really big knickers etc. (at least 8 books). Perhaps you can get the books written by Tommy Jaud? In dutch the titles would be: Superidiot and Millionair The books of Sir Peter Ustiniov are great as well. Krumnagel (hope the title in English is the same) and The old man and mr Smith. The perfume written by Patrick Süskind (you can smell the middleages in France as well) Donald Lindquist wrote: Berlin tunnel 21 Giovannino Guareschi his books about a religious Italian village and it's pastor (we call him Don Camillo a giant with an interesting point of view on how religion should be, it's fun). The books of Tom Sharpe for example Wilt. Tomi Ungerere wrote great stories, and has a complete different way of interpretating fairy tales. Little red riding hood told by him is great. Also great is his story/book: No kiss for mother! Also the pictures/drawings made by him are great! I don't know if the books of Helen van Royen (dutch writer) are translated? Jeff Kinney wrote: Diary of a wimpy kid. Sonya Hartnett wrote: The ghost's child. Kelley Armstrong wrote: The Summoning. Enjoy your reading!

I started a discussion about a recent survey listing 100 books they recommended everyone should read about how many on the list people had read..the original article noted many hadn't read as many as 10 books on that list... If you have a favourite Author,do check out other books written by them.. and if you have an account with Amazon,their "Kindle" software is available as a free download for your computer (if you don't already have one of the readers or a portable device that can access it!)-alongside the kindle bestseller list on the Amazon site is a list of the top 100 free to download books for the device that are available..that should give you a few ideas!

wow, there really are lots of recommendations, some of which i'd like to try some time too, if i can find them in the library that is. i too have no specific books to recommend as i tend to forget all my titles, most of them anyway. but if you have similar tastes like mine, if you enjoy reading books that have some romance in them, and some action, humor, which i usually prefer mine to have, then you might want to go to my blog as i write down all those books that i've really enjoyed there. recently i've been into paranormal and fantasy as well. some of my favourite authors are c.l. wilson, christine feehan, kristan higgins, jacquelin frank, etc. there are tons, but i have to admit, i love all of christine feehan's books, which contain paranormal, action, romance among others, which is the best combination for me. although i've not written down all the titles by her there, they're all good. my blog is (most likely) on my profile. hope you enjoy the recommendations there if you browse through. some of her titles are, dark symphony, dark guardian, street game, etc.

Wow that is a nice challenge, i might take something like that next year. what genre of books do you like Ms. Anne? I like books by Nicholas Sparks, his book safe haven is good, i also read those by Nora Roberts try to read Angels Fall, I also read books by Emily Giffin, OG Mandino ( inspirationals), Mitch Albom, Dean Koontz, James Patterson, V.C Andrews. I also read a new one, by Samantha Sotto.

Well first of all, good luck with your goal! I made a goal one year to read over 60 books and I managed to read 103 or something ridiculous like that. Now, here's a question - what kind of books do you LIKE reading? Anything but 'horror' books? What exactly are 'horror books' anyhow? Like crime/mystery novels? If so, I really can't help you, that's practically all I read. . If you like crime/mystery novels, try Lisa Gardner, James Patterson, Kay Hooper, or Iris Johansen - they're all pretty good!

heloo for me is hard to read i tried but never works for me , i like audio books but this summer i read Why Men Don't Listen & Women Can't Read Maps Barbara Pease and Allan Pease i find this book very intresting is about men and women and how they are diferent .allan pease is a specialist in body language born in uk ,i was very happy when is saw him in a conferince in 1990 talking about body language .

I cannot guarantee you that you would be able to bring this anywhere with you but, I'm writing a novel which I posted the drafts (ehleonkyrietales.blogspot.com) my blog. Just read the first two chapters, please. *Wink.

I would like to recommend self improvement books .You will be needing to read this book especially if you to improve something on your self . Try to read inspirational books , it's quite boring honestly . But the moral lessons that you got on the book will keep you motivated in life :))

Good trying!I have reading plan too.I'm reading books writing in classical Chinese recently.Do you like masterpiece? We can learn most from these books.If not,what kind of books are your favourite?I think reading shoud be based on interests.Do you agree?

My all time favorite books are by Dean Koontz.. but some of his could be considered horror, but likely more like thriller and science fiction, but I have to admit there is some horror in manyn of his books. His books are very thought provoking and inspiring.. mostly having to do with good triumphing over (something) evil..

I suppose you have already read Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. The last good book I read was autobiographical musings by the man who wrote many of the good westerns people love to watch on TV, Louis L'Amour. The name of the book is The Education of a Wandering Man.

The last book I read.was called Black. It is the first book in a series ny ted dekker. The focud on a man named Tomas who when he sleeps he enters another world, and when he sleeps there he comes back to this reality. He cant figure out which is real and which is dream but the fate of on world relies on what happens in the other. I cant put the second one Red down. I love this goal of yours, id like to try it as well., other books I recommend are Thirteenth Tale, The Alchemist, lost souls (a mystery). Good luck!

Do you think a book about traveling is a good idea.The author is a backpacker and he almost went to any country of the world and write down his stories and pictures.It is a ten-year journey.The book is really popular in our country and i think it is indeed an encouragement for me.Have a nice day.

the best book, i have ever read in my life, is the red dahlia by lynda la plante. i read a lot.. and no book has EVER come close to this book, and i've read it 3 times. it is truely amazing! .. it's like a csi, kind of dective novel. it's utterly enthralling!

I really want to share with you but most of the book that i read before is in my language that you maybe cannot understand it. And also maybe the book is not sale at your places. The book in english most of it focus on study. I never read novel in english language but i want to try it some day.
