Any suggestions for an good book to read?

I like history books.. but I like them all, as long as they are informative and new ..even an romance novel once an year during Valentine's Day..I just finished another 1347 English history/charcter fiction book by B. Cornwell, and before that read an past life regression book of an man claiming to be "Paul" the Apsotle over Christmas. Keep the ideas coming,...getting some good ideas..good luck on the feet Sue, I have an old nieghbor named Sue also that had foot problems..wore to pointy an shoe when she was little...but those were the days back then for such things, I also remember the "stacked heels" era, they were feet-killers also...though I like some higher heels in shoes. Variety is always the spice in life...in shoes and in books.    

It would be remiss of me if I didn't mention J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings trilogy. I've been reading these books on a yearly basis since I was 22, and never tire of them. 

Other books I've read more than once would be Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott and Les Miserables by Victor Hugo.

As I said before, I read every day, and have so many favourites. I definitely like the medieval era, so I read allot of medieval historical fiction. 

Well I know that just because I love them doesn't mean that they are every body's cup of tea, but still I'll say yes Krissy, you should finish them. 

Try watching the movies (the extended editions, they have more from the book) and then reading the books. Of course the movies don't follow the books 100%, but they did a pretty decent job.

Let me know if you read them.  

I will! I liked the book when I started it but I have a bad habit of jumping from one book to another!!

If you enjoy a good laugh and a bit of light reading try Terry Pratchet.  His Disc World books are good fun.  I like the 'Watch' stories the best.

At present I am reading <Sepulchre> by Kate Mosse.and I'm enjoying it.

I love Bernard Cornwell ,his Anglo-Saxon and his English archer trilogies are excellent.

I have enjoyed all of the historicl novels of Noah Lofts but sadly these I expect are out of print ,which is a pity because they are truly wonderful.

A factual book I have recently read is <Pegasus Bridge> by Stephen Ambrose(Band of  Brothers) and I was priveledged to go to the bridge and the Normandy landing beaches shortly after.

It you're up for a good laugh then I would highly recommend "When You are Engulfed in Flames" by David Sedaris, it's hilarious!

Sue, I agree with you about LOR; I've read it several times over the years and always enjoy it.
