I read several of the books by Victoria Holt. I tend to go on binges. She had several pseudonyms, I only read the Philippa Carr ones.

I have not read anything by Victoria Holt. If you're in a Bible reading mood today, check out the second half of Matthew 25. It's been really influential in my life, and I'm not kidding around here. "As you have treated the least of these...so you have treated me."

O often re-read the Agatha Christie novels, Sherlock Holmes, some books by Stephen king and some books by the Italian Author Giorgio Faletti. He did not write many, but I love those he wrote.

If I like a book, I'll keep it to read again sometime. If I think "once is enough" I give it away. Most of the books on my shelves, I've read at least twice, if not more. It's like visiting old friends. Currently visiting with Gideon Oliver, the "skeleton detective" (author Aaron Elkins).

Did you see this one about Navajo, famous apparently the dude is a legend and they extended the series Dark Winds the sheriff for Navajo Nation. It was good just a little short as they seemed to need to go more in depth. I guess there is more crimes so they can get a 2nd season where I thought was a one and done. The actor is really good in reservation dogs and yellow stone, Not many native Americans left but he is a good actor.

Wow! Why are you awake at 2:47 am, pony? Yes, some books I read over and over again. I always hope the authors will put out more books in the series or just more books in general because I love their style and imagination. I don't know if the books I read become part of who I am but I do think about them from time to time.

Like many, the first book that comes to mind is The Bible---specifically The Book of Ecclesiastes. After that, probably the books in the series of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, or maybe Napoleon Hill's Think & Grow Rich or Og Mandino's The Greatest Salesman in the World. I haven't read any of them (not even The Bible) in a long time. I think the last book I read was READY PLAYER ONE.

@TheHorse That's one I think you can find online now. I think it was written back in 1945, back when everybody thought that money was 'something real.' (Oh, it's "real"; but ... there's a lot of philosophical thoughts about that ...). "Thinking" isn't 'the whole process of growing rich,' obviously; but 'thinking' is where it starts, and Napoleon Hill explains how.

@mythociate Is it actually a decent book. Donald Trump's dad (Fred Trump?) was influenced by a self-help book. It may have been "How to Win Friends and Influence People."

I am currently not so big a reader, but I did read the mysteries by Tony Hillerman. I also read a lot of Louis LAmour for many years. Also Don Coldsmith was one of my favorites. I have read a lot of Twain and Doyle . Perhaps I should look for your Richard Hughes Novel. Writing it down now.

"Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand is a novel that I tend to re-read every five years or so. There are so many characters, and it's so multi-layered that I always seem to find something new when I read it. I also have a tendency to re-read Robert Heinlein stories that I first read years ago. His stories were always entertaining and intelligent.
