gawwd.. i've read most of novels mentioned, debbie ( 25 of these were part of school requirements).. i like john fowles among others... stiil, carson mc culler's the' heart is a lonely hunter' is one of my faves!..

I know I'm straying from the subject here Deb, but I can't resist mentioning a book that is not on your list, and that would be the only 'Self Help' book I ever read and that would be: Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz who is the father and originator of 'Visualization' used by athletes and many others today...The crux of his theory is that you must learn to relax (He relates many methods) and then picture yourself clearly in successful situations WITHOUT EFFORT by using your imagination rather than willpower...The more you use this 'auto mechanism' the more it comes a reality...

Glad you mentioned this Tim. I used to do guided visualization to help others meditate, calm down, I do miss helping this way. I'm glad to hear the process helped you!

Thank you Julia- I don't know what's wrong with you - all I asked was that you be kind & not be like me when I resort to being a puffer fish

So nice to see you here Tim! I hope all is well with you Cher. Tell me about your fav Stienbeck?

Tim Ryerson
Date: 6/30/2015 5:42:00 PM

Cannery Row hands down...Morbid at times yet HILARIOUS...Closely followed by Tortilla Flat and who can forget Of Mice and Men? I always found myself pulling SO hard for these guys to fulfill their simple dream but even before the end...I somehow knew in the back of my mind that it wasn't gonna happen and would end in tragedy...

I understood Constance Julia. What have you read?

Constance La France

I am reading The Vampire Lestat at the moment and have the books you mentioned, the writing is excellent and the darkness is wonderful to me

I never read In Cold Blood but saw the movie which I believe is STILL rated 'R' to this day....When I read The Lord of the Rings the first time, I remember thinking that no one will EVER be able to make this into a movie. Then along came Peter Jackson and special effects...

Tim
Ryerson

Date: 6/30/2015 2:24:00 AM

I have read everything John Steinbeck and Kurt Vonnegut ever wrote, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy at LEAST ten times (and 'The Hobbit' of course) and Catch 22 is by FAR the funniest book I have ever read. Also a lot of Hemmingway and Faulkner. The list goes on...

None,I love to read a lot of juvenile books , George Martin's books is one,

Eve Roper

I will try and venture out and read some of these books. Hugs Eve

Well I've read at least 11 but war of the worlds I have read several times, lol. I read every day, perhaps I'm reading the wrong books?

me too I'm almost done with Foulcat's Pendulum and I can't say I enjoyed it - it was interesting & a bit addictive like salt & vinegar potato chips - you know your tongues getting raw but still you 'do a bit more'

Constance

Date: 6/29/2015 2:05:00 PM

17 only from that list but I read a lot, lately I have been reading Ann Rice, getting her books in second hand stores, I like the darkness in her writing

Constance La France
Date: 6/30/2015 8:02:00 PM

Andrea, do get those books off the shelf, dust them off and read them, all her books are wonderful

Andrea Dietrich
Date: 6/29/2015 10:08:00 PM

Constance (hope this goes under YOUR name and not somewhere else) I heard of Ann Rice books. They sound right up my alley. I even bought some but they just stay unread on my bookshelf.

Constance La France

Julia, Debbie knew exactly who I was talking about and my comment was for her

Debbie Guzzi
Date: 6/29/2015 4:01:00 PM

Go Constance read the series on the Witches & Taltos - & Tales of the Body Thief made me sit in bed and cry my eyes out. For me Rice is 1 of the best writers in the 20th century.

Salutations! I loved "Charlotte's Web"! From cover to cover? Surprisingly, from a self-declared book hoarder, an astounding 2! The other one was "To Kill a Mockingbird". I remember browsing through "Sophie's Choice" as a young teen, but hardly remember it. Well, ok there's a few here that is on my "want-to-read-list", have copies of some, but have yet to read them. Admittedly, I don't think I've read a lot of the 'classics', the oldies but goodies. I suck at reading books now, I just hoard them. Right now, ok not really a novel, but at my bedside would be "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran -- seeing this blog reminded me to read it-- that and "Bel Canto" by Anne Patchett

Andrea Dietrich
Date: 6/29/2015 10:11:00 PM

Nikko, it's so good to see you here. Please send me a soupmail , will ya? I can't see my hotmail here in Kentucky. Only stuff at soup!! Talk about twisted!!

Andrea Dietrich

oh I read the Prophet. Loved it!

My favorite one up here that I read was the entire trilogy Lord of the Rings. Favorite movie version of a book "Of Mice and Men". The one I think did not really deserve to be on this list is Great Gatsby, a rather boring book that was made more interesting by that last movie i saw of it! "To Kill a Mockingbird" was also one of my big favorites. To think, its author never wrote another great book again!! Very nice blog, Debs. Now you need a list of the 100 best sellers. Stephen King has to be on that one. Nobody tells a story better. I guess for what it was saying about the Roaring 20's Age and the character Gatsby himself, it is a valuable book.

Kabuteng P.Ink K.

Ha, maybe it's just really not my cup of tea. Haven't seen the movie, hopefully one day I will. Thanks for the recommendation, Andrea!

Andrea Dietrich
Date: 6/29/2015 10:12:00 PM

Well, Nikko,I got through the book Gatsby ok, but you gotta see the last movie made of it. So much more interesting. De caprio did an awesome job as Gatsby!!

Kabuteng P.Ink K.
Date: 6/29/2015 11:09:00 AM

Hello there Andrea! You got internet there? I have to agree with you on The Great Gatsby. I tried reading it, and it bored me to sleep, which is saying something. Because usually, I avoid sleeping to finish a book. I tried to cheat, literally skimmed through the pages of that book, trying to find out what was great about Gatsby. I never did know, doinnks, since of course I skipped so many parts, that I failed to appreciate the characters. Oops. Maybe not just my cup of tea? Or maybe I should try to read it again when I have time. Hope you're having a stress-free time there!

Andrea

Date: 6/29/2015 10:23:00 AM

I've only read ten, Debs. Was too busy with my STephen King novels to get to the others! Saw several of them as movies and I cannot read a book once I know its ending from a movie!!

I must say I did not enjoy reading many of the books up there that I did read! Like Babbitt-boring, didn't like Cat's Cradle either, tried to read On the Road couldn't do it?

Date: 6/28/2015 10:27:00 PM

Well, I've only read 8: To Kill a Mockingbird, Charlotte's Web, Gone with the Wind, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Call of the Wild, The Lord of the Rings (actually read whole series) and the Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Many of the classic books I read were not on that list. I read War and Peace in high school.

I might have even read more but the old noggin ain't what it used to be?

Carrie Richards
Date: 6/28/2015 8:20:00 PM

I think our tastes change too, with age, experience, and different viewpoint.... I would most likely choose different favorites today then some of those I read long ago

Carrie Richards
Date: 6/28/2015 8:15:00 PM

While in high school, I became enthralled with Daphne du Maurier"s "Rebecca", and "My Cousin Rachel" (which isn't on the list)....later on, Ayn Rand (college curiousity)...some of my favorites, "Passage To India", Room With a View".., To Kill A Mockingbird"..."French Lieutenant's Woman" Hemingway, .... ahh...the list goes on ...!!

Carrie
Richards

Date: 6/28/2015 8:02:00 PM

I was surprised to count only 20, also! I would have thought there were more that I've read! I've got a lot of catching up to do! If I ever get stranded on a deserted island, I hope it's next to a library !!

Debbie Guzzi
Date: 6/28/2015 8:05:00 PM

Casarah Nance
Date: 6/28/2015 7:55:00 PM

1984, hitchhikers guide to the galaxy and of mice and men, I loved...animal farm..eh. and I hated -absolutely hated catcher in the rye.

Debbie
Guzzi

Date: 6/28/2015 7:53:00 PM

Really Craig? Of the ones I read I would recomment 1984**, oh definitely Lolita!*, War of the Worlds, The French Lieutenants Woman, The Wind & the Willows, Winnie the Pooh, Lady Chatterly's Lover, A Passage to India**, Brave New World** & The Invisible Man.
