Bridge to Terribithia The Giving Tree Dear America Series Angela's Ashes Island of the Blue Dolphin The Witch of Blackbird Pond Watership Down Long Day's Journey into Night Maniac Magee Slaughter House Five A Raisin in the Sun.. There were two books that impressed me over the past year and a half maybe(?)...one is God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy (bit late in the day considering that she won the Booker years ago) and the other is Shantaram - a 900 page book by Gregory David Roberts, an Australian adventurer...bit of Indian flavor there....incidentally, Shantaram is now being picturized with Johnny Depp starring as Shantaram a.k.a Gregory David Roberts. The Giver by Lois Lowry Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte East of Eden by John Steinbeck The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown Another one is The Guardian by Nicholas Sparks. James and the Giant Peach and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. The Chrysalids 'Patriot Games' 'Ender's Game''Faerie Wars' The entire Discworld series. It's the best! 'The Sword of Shannara' did everything 'The Lord of the Rings' did in one book, without the useless descriptions and twice as skillfully Animorphs The Boxcar Children 'A Ring of Endless Light' If you like suspense and thriller then Mary Higgins Clark is awesome. A Stranger is Watching by Mary Higgins Clark All Around the Town by Mary Higgins Clark Summer Sisters by Judy Blume I'm the King of the Castle' by Susan Hill, is one of my very favourite books!

I thought it was great. I liked "Baree, Son of Kazan" a wolf book like Jack London's And Slim Evans and His Horse Lightning" a cowboy story. And anything by Lawrence Block, A. J. Quinnel, James Lee Burke, John Lescroart, David Morrell, and Robertson Davies. This is a play not a book however worth adding "Our Town" by Thornton Wilder. The Inkheart Series Duchess Bu Night by Eloisa James "Reading is gud 4 u!" Sez Ms Spelling
