[Ziffel]

I'm an avid reader so to make a list of my favortie books would be quite extensive. But to say which is my one favorite? The Bible. And I love its author.

Just for a few other examples though, I like books by Charles Stanley, Stephen King, and "The Hooterville Handbook: A Viewer's Guide to Green Acres".
See there are so many books I enjoy in a wide variety of categories. I have enjoyed reading many books on Christian growth, on television, on sports, movie adaptations of or vice versa, and horror/mystery/suspense.

Well, it'd be really hard to pick out a favorite book since I've been a lifelong reader and I like many books. But I definitely agree with Ziffel. The Bible is my favorite Book and I definitely love the author! It's The Book you can read over and over and always find something new.

As for other books- well, I love The Hardy Boys! I grew up reading the revised original 58 stories (haven't read the "original versions") and I also love The Hardy Boys Casefiles series. I've also read some of the Nancy Drew series here and there and that's good too. Especially the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys Supermysteries. I also like the Encyclopedia Brown series, the Alfred Hitchcock and The Three Investigators series, and The Famous Five series and The Secret Seven series.

I also like the adult Indiana Jones novels (although the Young Indiana Jones series is great too) and I like the Quantum Leap novel series. I also like Star Trek novels, Star Trek: The Next Generation being my favorite. And if you never read more than 1 Star Wars book, read "Shadows of the Empire" because it's great.

I also love "MacGyver", so I have to mention the very rare "MacGyver on Ice" original novel by Mark Daniel. And there's the Saved By the Bell books as well as the Family Ties original novel I have. (Perhaps you can tell by now that I like a lot of TV show based books.)

I also really like DC's "Justice League of America" novel series and Marvel's novels- particularly the Spider-Man, X-Men, The Fantastic Four, and Captain America ones. And The Avengers. But I read just about any of the Marvel and DC superhero novels. (or comic books for that matter. In which case, I'd also have to throw in the Archie comics.)

I also like Roald Dahl's "The BFG", "George's Marvelous Medicine" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". And I like "E.T. The Book of the Green Planet" (It's actually pretty cool- basically a sequel to "E.T.")

I also love the McGee and Me book series by Bill Myers and the Dallas O'Neil and the Baker Street Sports Club series by Jerry B. Jenkins, as well as The Sugar Creek Gang series by Paul Hutchens.

And of course, I have to mention some of the classics like pretty much anything by C.S. Lewis- particularly The Chronicles of Narnia, but his Space Trilogy is also good and "Mere Christianity" is a classic. And J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings". The novels are even better than the movies!

Also, there's a great book called "The God Spot" by Dean Briggs that I really enjoyed as well as "Christian Wisdom of the Jedi Masters" by Dick Staub. Very cool devotional!
Another favorite as a child was George MacDonald's "At the Back of the North Wind".

And I have read many of the "classics" and I do enjoy Mark Twain- "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer", "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", "The Prince and the Pauper", "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court"

Jack London- "The Call of the Wild" and "White Fang"
Herman Melville- "Moby-Dick" (I really need to finish that one day! )
Mary Mapes Dodge- "Hans Brinker or The Silver Skates"
Lewis Carroll (Charles Dodgson)- "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland"
Frank L. Baum- "The Wizard of Oz"
Robert Louis Stevenson- "Treasure Island", "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", and "Kidnapped"
T.H. White- "The Once and Future King" (that one's on my reading list!)
H.G. Wells- "The Time Machine" and "The Invisible Man"
Jules Verne- "Around the World in Eighty Days", "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea", "From the Earth to the Moon", and "Journey to the Center of the Earth"
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle- The Sherlock Holmes stories and "The Lost World"
Charles Kingsley- "The Water Babies"
Kenneth Grahame- "The Wind in the Willows"
William Shakespeare- "A Midsummer Night's Dream", "Hamlet", "Julius Caesar", "Macbeth", "Twelfth Night", "The Taming of the Shrew", "King Lear", "Romeo and Juliet", "The Merchant of Venice"
John Steinback- "Of Mice and Men", "The Red Pony"
John Knowles- "A Separate Peace"


well, sorry if I went overboard with titles, but there really are tons of books I like. What can I say? I'm working as a librarian right now- it's my job to love books! And I love reading!

Ha, I saw that book today when I was visiting the bookstore today, so I skimmed through it. What great photos (my favorite was the long shot of the Stage 9 camp set). I would've gotten it, but right now I'm broke, and I can't spend my money anymore.
