I loved that book! Thought none of his others lived up to it (not that i've read them all).

My favourite book of all time though has to be A Prayer for Owen Meany - John Irving.

Gosh I loved Thirty Nothing, but must have been a good 10 years since I read it when I was in my early twenties... now I am a thirty-ahem-something I would probably enjoy it even more. Thanks for the reminder

If you haven't read the book I recommended called One Day by David Nicholls you should, I think you'd enjoy that too http://www.amazon.co.uk/One-Day-Dav...=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1280325304&sr=1-1

I read it in my early 20's too and almost 30 now need to get another copy though as my brother stole it never to be returned

I've got "One Day" but haven't got around to reading it yet, far too many books on the "to read" list at the moment!! xxx

 

[juju79]

My favourite book is Strangers by Dean Koontz, I read it when I was a teenager and loved it, then again a few years ago and it was fab

I love this thread btw, I'm reading loads at the mo and you've all given me some great new buys to add to the list

 

[Starlight]

I just recently discovered the 'Outlander' series by Diana Gabaldon... absolutely love them

 

[Trash]

Mine's got to be Jennifer Donnelly's "The Tea Rose" and sequel "Winter Rose" brilliant read and both books are huge - 3rd sequel out early next year called "Wild Rose"

Its a family saga with love, murder,suspence spanning several era's dating back to 1898 in whitechapel around the time of the ripper - you won't be disappointed if you buy the first you will definately want the next! ;o)

 

[rosinakathleen]

Thanks, Trash,
I will keep a look out for them.
My ab fav books are the In Death series by J D Robb (also known as Nora Roberts)
Set in the future they feature a lady cop who deals soley with murder, but tells her life story as well

 

[welshgirl21]

My ultimate novel which I read over and over again and it always moves me is Goodnight Mister Tom by Michelle Magorian - simply awesome

My favourite book ever, is The Bachman Books, by Stephen King. It contains two of the most beautiful, poignant novellas I have ever read. (The long walk and The running man)
