My all-time favorite is Douglas Adams (Hitchhiker's Guide Series).

One of My all-time favorite books is "The Milagro Beanfield War".. I literally fell out of bed laughing..

I think you would enjoy 'The Puppy Papers: A Woman's Life and Journey into BDSM'

Ms Lovely to know another bibliophile Many of my books are now on Kindle .... A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. George Bernard Shaw Jenny

I just finished reading The Autobiography of Mark Twain: and thought of your post.. Here's an excerpt that I think fits well with the season we are in: "We are discreet sheep; we wait to see how the drove is going, and then go with the drove. We have two opinions: one private, which we are afraid to express; and another one - the one we use - which we force ourselves to wear to please Mrs. Grundy, until habit makes us comfortable in it, and the custom of defending it presently makes us love it, adore it, and forget how pitifully we came by it. Look at it in politics." His greatest work was "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn".. If you've read it, I would love to know its impact on a "Non American" .. The humor will still translate..

Ms Jax Yes he wrote the Mordant series, i believe that the Gap series was started before the Mordant one and never finished until much later. It has a wonderful character in it Morn Hyland...........i found this series very dark , intriguing and compelling.

I did a bit of research, as "Denial aint just a river in Egypt", didn't strike me as Twain's;.. It has routinely been attributed to him, but apparently was first written in 1966, thus not his, though I didn't resolve who authored it.. It appears it rose in usage during the 1990s, and may be a "Saturday Night Live" character that "attributed it to Twain" that actually invented the phrase;.. But then, that debunks the 1966 creation.. And btw, I noticed you hadn't read Vonnegut.. I may not know you very well, but from some of your comments, I suspect you will fall in love with his writings.. But, if you pick the wrong one you might not ever read anything else he wrote; I'd guess "Slaughterhouse Five" is the most dependable. I read 5 of his books, and enjoyed them all, but sometimes I had to warm up to it.

Perhaps since the English & Americans are "two peoples separated by a common language", Vonnegut doesn't translate well across the Atlantic??? If you can't find him on Amazon, figure out a way for me to send you one, and I will do so..

ooooooohh...another bibliophile!!!! Right now my fave is Carl Hiassen.He writes about the weird stuff is south Florida and is a master of character development. Murakami Haruki is a leader in plot twists. "1Q84" is a must-read as is "the wind-up bird chronicles". For pure action/adventure I like Clive Cussler. You have me beat...I have only a little over 300 tomes in the collection. And I HATE e-books...you can't loan them to friends when you're finished!
