What were the four best books you read in 2006? They don't have to be

Well for me the best I read this past year would be:

1. The Deed of Pakesennerion by Elizabeth Moon
2. The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons by Dan Brown
3. The Adept Series by Deborah Turner Harris and Katherine Kurtz
4. Harry Potter (I reread the series this past year)
5. Xanth Series by Piers Anthony (read a few books from it this year)

I'd recommend them all to anyone. They are all very good.

tks...i dont think its widely or internationally released??are they??

I think I only read 4 books in 2006.

They were....

"A Swiftly Tilting Planet" Madeline L'Engle
"Stardust" by Neil Gaiman
"Enders Game" by Orson Scott Card
"On The Road" by Jack Kerouac

Well I just read one book 1.In the line of fire by General Pervaiz Musharaf - President of Pakistan

Gosh! Just four books? And the bad thing is, I have a horrible time remembering the names...including names of books! LOL
OK...and not necessarily in this order...
1. Harry Potter Goblet of Fire (wanted to read it before seeing the movie)
2. Immortal high witch series...again by Maggie Shayne (Eternity, Infinity, Destiny, and Immortality) I love this series too much I will probably re-read it every year.
3. Speak by Laurie Halse-Anderson (It was something my daughter read and she wanted me to read.)
4. Wildy Winston by Lori Foster (4 anthologies taken from the orginal anthology compilation to make one book about the Winston brothers. An awesme book...but I actully had to by 1 anthology and another that had the three...they published the Wildy Winston with the 4 stories and it was not here locally...so I had to buy two books to equal one. But hey! That better than buying 4 different anthologies!:)

1. Smilla's Sense of Snow - Danish author Peter Hoeg. This book was written in I believe 1992? but somehow I missed this gem! The cover says a "major motion picture" was made of this story. Has anybody seen it?

2. The whole Harry Potter series. I no longer have kids at home and hadn't picked one up. My niece loaned them to me and I was instantly hooked.

3. The General's Daughter - Nelson DeMille. Got addicted to this author as well. His characters are witty and you'll CARE about them. The stories are full of thrills and surprises and twists.

4. Plum Island - Nelson DeMille.

I've very much enjoyed the Temeraire series (Naomi Novik I think), and I've reread the Earth's Children series (Jean Aeul), otherwise I've mostly read non fiction this last year.

Damn LOL thats a tough question...

Cell by Stephen King which was really good but the ending left a lot to be desired...

Fantasy Lover by Sherilyn Kenyon which was a really good book...its the first from her Dark Hunter series and after that I was hooked LOL but right now i'm reading J.R. Wards vampire series which is even better...

A Child Called IT by David Pelzer was AMAZING I read that in two hours, I couldnt put it down...

I cant think of a fourth though

I had a lot of time over the summer to read a couple books and I really enjoyed a few

1. Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde - by far one of my new favorites
2. Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde
3. The Ways of White Folks by Lagston Hughes
4. Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder - reread it for the thrid time this summer this is one of favorites.
5. Hallo, Ist Da Jemand? by Jostein Gaarder - I spent four months in Germany learning German so I thought I would read at least one book in German.

1.The Vampire Chronicles by Ann Rice
2. Death dujour, Deja Dead By Kathy Reichs can't wait to start the next one (TV show Bones is a spin off of this series of books
3. Gone with the Wind - Lots more in it than the movie
4. The Hobbit
