That's exactly what I said. No reply as of yet.
And both Gig and Norcal miss the point that cutting corners is cheating yourself.
Anyhoo...
You do not like Green Eggs and Ham?

I meant what I said and I said what I meant. An elephant's faithful, 100 percent
Dr. Seuss was actually quite ahead of his time with books that had environmental and tolerance messages.
This goes in the thread "books that look good on your shelf that you've never read".
(Actually, I have read bits of those, but never finished.)
I remember having to read The Lorax in sixth grade.Dr. Seuss was actually quite ahead of his time with books that had environmental and tolerance messages.

the Seussical hate. There is more wisdom contained in this book than any other:
98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed!
A Canticle for Leibowitz., Walter M. Miller, Jr.

Im going to have to take some notes from this thread.
I used to be a huge Dean Koontz fan, but his game has slipped considerably since Dark Rivers of the Heart.
Big King fan, Dark Tower Series is going to eventually break my heart when King dies and it goes unfinished (Roland, ftw).
Isaac Asimov has been by far the most entertaining of any author I have read due to his unique scientific perspective. Solid Asmiov Gold.
The Sherlock Holmes Anthology. Bought the 4 book set that included ALL of Sir Doyle's writings of the great, flawed Inspector. "The theatre lost its greatest actor when Holmes found crime." -Watson
Laugh if you will, but I immensely enjoyed On a Pale Horse by Piers Anthony. Didnt enjoy the other books in the series, though.
Size isn't everything.nobody hates seuss. my previous comment about not including him with the other classics in this thread was more regarding the fact that I thought this thread was for books that take longer than 5 minutes to read.
Sounds like Jokes for the John.I'm reminded of a seuss book I read while in a doctor's waiting room. It was more for adults... with a lot of jokes that kids would not understand. It was something about a guy who had to go to the hospital... don't remember the le. I thought it was clever and funny.

I have way too many favorites, so I'll try to pick two per genre.
General fiction/novel: The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse by Louise Erdrich / Kite Runner by Hosseini
Young Adult Fiction: the Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer / the Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud
Fantasy: the Kushiel series by Jacqueline Carey / The Death Gate Cycle series by Weis and Hickman
Nonfiction: Red China Blues by Jan Wong / Red Azalea by Anchee Min
Has anyone read the second book by Kite Runner's Hosseini yet? I've got it but have yet to start it and am curious about opinions.
I said that one too, back on page 1. Fantastic book, huh?
So engaging that I read it in only 6 days (it's well over 1000 pages, small print).
A MUST READ for any fan of science fiction, mystery, suspence. It has western elements, futuristic elements, medieval elements, magic, monsters, demons, wizards, witches, vampires, cyborges, and is tied to many of Kings other works, like THE STAND, and SALEMS LOT just to name a couple. Its a 7 book series. Its Stephen Kings Magnus Opus. THE DARK TOWER SERIES
The Baroque Cycle was disappointing, though.I said that one too, back on page 1. Fantastic book, huh?
So engaging that I read it in only 6 days (it's well over 1000 pages, small print).
Pretty good book but also pretty short.
Just got done reading Mystic River, damn good book
