My list of favorite authors include, but are definitely not limited to:
Agatha Christie (read all of her books numerous times)
Dan Brown
Lillian Jackson Braun (read them all)
Arthur Conan Doyle
Shakespeare
Classic literature
Mysteries, suspense, action, some romance (not too much - its got to be real! ), classics....
Just finished The Last Templar (wasn't all that impressed) and The Picture of Dorian Gray.... I need new material!
(Oh, favorite book is The Scarlet Pimpernel and all other books by Baroness Orczy - haven't read them??? Please do... its WELL worth it!)
Ahh... family vacations singing "Via Dolorosa" and "Was it a morning like this?" at the top of my lungs with the classic belter herself, Sandi Patty. Glad, too??? Yup, church 5/6 times... wow.... again.... Punked??
Sushi.... interesting.... and not half bad!
Yes, it is a great job.... which is a huge part of the dilemma... Rah...
You crack me up. My first solo in church was, Love in any Language. In all honesty I love the music taste my mother passed on to me and she is one of my favorite artists. To this day when I'm asked to sing in church I will pickk one of her songs. Her voice is as peaceful and soothing as a midsummer night sky.....
It's about a husband and wife, Jamie and Claire. It involves some romance (but not bodice ripping); a lot of historical references (Bonny Prince Charlie and the revolt) and the fallout from that unfortunate event. I'm afraid I might scare you off when I mention time travel - but it is well done and not hokey, IMO.
There are 5 books now (I think) in the series and I have enjoyed each of them tremendously. They are long - about 800 pages each, but they don't feel drawn out to me. The weirdest thing is that she wrote these characters so well they feel like real people to me.
Some books that helped me grow up: I learned to appreciate the large book with "War and Peace"; then several by Fyodor Dostoevsky, "The Brothers Karamazov", "The Possessed", and "Crime and Punishment". My 'finishing school' was "The Fountainhead" and "Atlas Shrugged". I've never spent a lot of time reading novels, but I read "Gone With The Wind" a year or so ago, and it is much better than the movie.
Maybe someone could start a thread in Relationships like "Songs We Listen To", and call it "Books We Read" that would focus on breaking up, reconciliation, etc.
