Secguy---how do you like it? I tried to read it, but just couldn't get into it. Should i give it another try?

Motivation is when your dreams put on work clothes.

- Ben Franklin

they all sound great, going shopping tomorrow so will take my list with me, thanks a lot everyone xx

I am halfway through it right now! Enjoying it immensely. Also recently read "A Thousand Splendid Suns" LOVED IT! and "Married to a bedouin". It was also very very good. I guess I am in my Arab book phase.

I don't have a favorite Author yet, but those are the books I liked and enjoyed reading:

- Hanna's gift

- In her shoes (more than the movie)

- Evelin (more than the movie)

and I am almost done with Kite Runner, and I will see movie after I finish. Interesting but it is affecting my dreams.

Three Cups of Tea has animals in it! I'm sure there were some donkeys somewhere in there :-)

Seriously, I've never felt like pushing a book as much as this one.

From the back cover:

"In 1993 a mountaineer named Greg Mortenson drifted into an impoverished Pakistan village in the Karakoram mountains after a failed attempt to climb K2. Moved by the inhabitants' kindness, he promised to return and build a school. Three Cups of Tea is the story of that promise and its extraordinary outcome. Over the next decade Mortenson built not just one but fifty-five schools -- especially for girls-- in the forbidding terrain that gave birth to the Taliban. His story is at once a riveting adventure and a testament to the power of the humanitarian spirit".

Everyone on the planet should read this book.

Afaque, if you like pet books, you would like Marley and Me.

have fun at the gym, and yes that would be lovely thank you :)congrats on your 100 points too x

Afaque, doesn't matter what you read as long as you read something x

I can only read pet and animal related books!! never interested in novels.

Aaargh, I really need to get to the gym, but can't pass up a thread about BOOKS!

Brandylady, I read a lot, but your favorite genres aren't my faves. I belong to 2 book clubs, can send you a list of titles from this past year and the upcoming year if you want.

I like realistic fiction and memoirs and lots of other stuff, too.

Paulo Coelho is my HERO!!!!

And for everyone who reads:

If you haven't yet read "Three Cups of Tea", the story of Greg Mortenson..... check it out online.... and order it TODAY. Amazing story.

Ok, I'm going to the gym now. Really! I am!

Have a great day, all.

typical mm???

Kismet, thanx I havn't heard of her but added it to my list thank you, and I know what you mean about finishing a book, I do the same with films in the hope that they will get better x

I read a lot of books, and have a lot of favourite authors.

When I start the book and it's rubbish, I still have to finish it, just from respect to the author, who put a lot of effort to write the thing.

My favourite authors? Hmmm....There are too many to list.

Anybody heard about Abbey Lee? ;)

Kismet

p.s. she IS NOT my favourite author, but I read that book :)

We are only children once...but we can keep the child in us forever.

James Patterson has been recommended to me, but I could never get into him,

Da, you hush or you will find out how strong I am.

I just started a new series but Sara Paretsky and I like her mysteries. Elizabeth George has absolutely wonderful novels, highly recommend them.

Stephen Kings books have me enthralled, but all the films, except maybe Misery, left me deflated x

 i know i know i know how a strong character you are

[img_assist|nid=73057|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

think you would enjoy James Patterson, the Alex Cross series, they have a male lead but are very very good :)

I liked the book, but agree the film was bad.. The same was true for Tai Pan.

Books allow you to visualize and give life to the characters. then when you see the film, they may not be as you pictured them.

the film was very boring but didn't read the book x

I pretty much read anything and everything. It's my favorite thing to do in the evening. I love good mysteries with a strong female lead.

tra la la

which authors do you read then?? :)

sometimes it happens :) maybe like davinci code lolz all the hype but the book and movie both crap

readers are leaders

Live and let live...

after reading a really good book, then going on to see the film, I always find mysel disappointed in the film, books are far better :)

i am the same, if some frds tell me that a book is good i would read it regardless of the author..

Sahara was good watching the movie after reading makes it more interesting :) its like that with all the movies right

I havn't, but I am writing down all the titles and authors people suggest, so will do at some point :) xx

brady lady - yes kane and abel was a great book,..but most of his books are great..

Have you read Odessa File by Fredrick Forsyth

now that was funny :) :) xxx

I have to admit I can't do soduko :/ tried n tried but to no avail, guess MY brain needs a little more activity!!!! LOL

He probably switched to magazines to keep other parts active:)

[img_assist|nid=73057|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

Great People Decisions by Claudio Fernandez which i still didnt open for the last 4 weeks.

[img_assist|nid=73057|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]

morning to you, have read Kane and Abel by Jeffrey Archer(correct me if I am wrong here, was a long time ago, am sure it was a Jeffrey Archer novel :/) and enjoyed it immensely but when I read another of his I didn't enjoy it :(

"Teach not thy lip such scorn, for it was made for kissing, lady, not for such contempt.”

very apt for some QL ers I think..

I like inspiring stories and I read a lot about self-motivating stuff and mind improving techniques. I read Anthony Robins, Steven covey, Deepak Chopra, Osho, Jose Silva, Harry loran etc.

Live and let live...

my fav r,...

Jeffrey Archer

Frederick Forsyth

But loved the God Father and the Sicilian by Mario Puzo

ahh, 'wether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune'

bit too heavy going for me though did do William Shakespear in school x

guess the books are working for you then lol, drinking?? tut tut!!! nice to hear from you again x

Britexpat, no, I read James Herbert, will look though and am open to suggestions on good books, an eclectic mix would be nice as I do tend to stick to the same subjects :) x

I read the Dune trilogy a few years ago. Great book, shame about the film.

i read a lot,but most of my collection by william shakespere.

You're into the scary stuff... have you read any of Frank herbert's books?? DUNE is excellent..

How's it goin there. So glad to be able to chit chat with you once again.

Well, I appreciate non-fiction self improvement literature.

Let's start with--I like Dianna Booher with her series of books. Particularly "Communicate With Confidence" and "Speak with Confidence."

Not that I dont know how to communicate but this book has exceptional guidelines that is important for anybody who commands a big big, big big territory. Yup yup, Miss lady brandy.

I still aspire to be a good motivational and moving communicator with the ability to mold, influence, as well as make my subordinates feel good about their performances or jobs. As we all know, effective communication is of paramount importance in any complex organizatioon.

Sorry, been drinking. I know its too long. Budlight is hmm hmm good, yum yum. hik hik. Take me drunk, Im home.

thank you, I will look out for it when I go shopping next :)

Hi brandy lady, if you lke reading suspense thrillers then u must read harlan Coban. I just finished his book no chance it is fantastic. I love to read just about anything i get my hands on
