I've major surgery/long recovery coming up very soon so I've quite a long 'to read list' which I hope to shorten ~ including the lastest Jeffery Deaver/Kathy Reichs/Patricia Cornwell David Copperfield/ Little Dorrit/Lark Rise to Candleford Poirot short stories and a load of biographies and lighter novels.

Eventually I hope to get round to reading at least the first one of the "Dark Tower" series - I've never managed it yet... Everything else on my "want to read" list, I am waiting for them to be published as the next one in various series'. Reply #5. May 14 09, 11:28 AM |

1984 ~ George Orwell Brave New World ~ Aldous Huxley The Source ~ James Michener Hawaii ~ James Michener For light reading ~ Agatha Christie and P.G. Wodehouse Rosmarinus, I highly recommend Wodehouse for light reading in hospital. Reply #6. May 14 09, 1:32 PM |

"Clan of the Cave Bear" is the only one coming to mind at the moment. I'm sure I'll come up with others. Reply #7. May 14 09, 1:42 PM |

To Kill a Mockingbird is my favorite book, so it's on my list. Lord of the Flies was a good one. Those are the only two books that I've read that have had an impact on me in my 16 years of living. Reply #12. May 15 09, 9:31 PM |
