it's still a lie, from my calculation you spent 1.8 minutes per page ( that is if you didn't rest but just read without eating or doing any other thing except your 2 hours sleep), guys do you think it's possible?

1.8 Min per page? #mathematician. well for ur info, when i'm reading a nice novel, food, sleep, girl, sex are always the last thing on my mind. so do ur calc again

For future reference, pls refrain from the believe that some things are impossible simply because u can't do or achieve them. it's called poor man mentality.
nb: no pun intended, just trying to explain my point.

Guy I didn't ask for tour suggestion, I asked for other readers to tell me if it's a lie or the truth

The wheel of time is very good also, becomes very broad after the 5th book. The Doors of Stone(bk 3 ) might not come out till 2017.
Who has read any Gentleman bastards series - Scott Lynch? How did you find it?

Abbeyunique2:
who has read this series titled wheels of time by robert jordan. (book 1-15).
also the shannara chronicles that is currently being shown on mtv tv series.

Really? What would I gain from lying?
Validation from a group of Humans behind Keyboards?

Think about it and get back to me.

lordseb:


C.S Lewis come and see this lie lie oo, what you're actually tryna say is that u finished each book in less than 24 hours, guy your lie carry weight

I love reading crime and mystery books, so my favorite definitely has to be from this genre.
I would have chosen any of the Partricia Cornwell series as my favorite, probably "All that remains" or "Postmortem", or even "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown. These are excellent books. But I'll go for And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie. It's in my opinion the best mystery novel ever written. I was hooked till the very end. I love suspense in books and that book served me an overdose of suspense.

Let me give a brief synopsis of the book.
Eight men arrive on an Island, and each of them claimed to have been invited by Mr and Mrs Owen to stay in their house as guests. But when they all reach the house, they are only welcomed by the housekeeper and cook.

Later on the guests would get to understand that U.N Owen, the host who had supposedly invited them, when pronounced as one word, sounds like the word; UNKNOWN, meaning U.N Owen doesn't even exist. But was just an Allusion. Lol. Creepy right?
The creepiness doesn't end there. A copy of a nursery rhyme was found framed and hanged on the walls of the rooms of each guest and 10 figurines sat on the dining table.

Then suddenly, the guests and staff start dying one by one, and in mysterious fashion. And when someone dies, one of the figurines get broken.
And the poem hanged on the walls of the rooms, was a reflection, as well as a prediction of the deaths that occurred.

This is the creepy poem:
"Ten little soldier boys went out to dine; One choked his little self and then there were nine.

Nine little soldier boys stayed up late; One overslept himself and then there was eight.

Eight little soldier boys travelling in Devon; One said he’d stay there and then there were seven.

Seven little soldier boys chopping up sticks; One chopped himself in halves and then there were six.

Six little soldier boys playing with a hive; A bumblebee stung one and then there were five.

Five little soldier boys going in for law; One got in Chancery and then there were four.

Four little soldier boys walking along the sea; A red herring swallowed one and then there were three.

Three little soldier boys going to the zoo; a big bear hugged one and then there were two.

Two little soldier boys sitting in the sun; One got frizzled up and then there was one.

One little soldier boy left all alone; He went and hanged himself and then there were none"

But the big question was; Who was behind the killings? because everything was systematically orchestrated and brilliantly executed, and I think this is where one just has to stop and admire the imaginative brilliance of Agatha Christie.
Well, you just have to read the book to find out who this twisted mystery person was.

I feel you on Cornwell, 'All that Remains' is her best in my opinion.

On topic, mine is Sidney Sheldon's 'If Tomorrow Comes'.

Abbeyunique2:

I've read everything from wizard first rule to warheart. i've even read the pre richard era titled "debt of bone".
my top 3 wizard quotes are
1) rule 1: the best form of magic is a trick. human being are gulible, anybody can believe anything. people would chose believe a lie simply becos they wanted it to be true or they are afraid it might be true.
2) 2nd wizard rule the greatest harm can be caused from best intention.
3) 8th rule: deserve victory: people overwork themselve always looking for the next battle without celebrating the present winning.

my favorite characters are in this order:
zeddicus zul zorrander
cara
kaylan amnel
richard cypher
emperor jagang, i like vilian too

You have gone thus far.

Well, actually, the first book of the pre Richard's era is The First Confessor: Legend of Magda Searus.
I bet you would without delay go on to devour it.
You wouldn't wanna miss out a little on this sweet adventure, would you?

Seems you didn't get me right. I meant to say what other quotes are memorable to you minus the wizard's rules.

Jeez! This book is richly flavoured with quotes. Should I take down all? Okay. Here goes mine in no particular order -

1. We all can be only who we are; no more, no less.

2. There is no such thing as pure good or pure evil, least of all in people. In the best of us there are thoughts or deeds that are wicked, and in the worst of us, at least some virtue. An adversary is not one who does loathsome acts for their own sake. He always has a reason that to him is justification. My cat eats mice. Does that make him bad? I don't think so, and the cat doesn't think so, but I would bet the mice have a different opinion.

3. ...think of the solution, not the problem. If your mind was filled only with thoughts of why you were going to lose, then you couldn't think of how to win.

Then the five characters I find more striking are Richard Rahl/Cypher, Zeddicus Zul Zorander, Kahlan, Darken Rahl and Cara Mason.

Drefan, i've actually read the first mother confessor

It's definitely among my best three Agatha Christie's works. The other two 'Murder on the Links' and 'A Holiday for Murder'.

Like you, I also read a lot of Murder Mystery.

Good day, please my final yr project topic is " realism and socio cultural study of the African child by camara Laye". I need help on how to get the Book. Do you have any idea on how I can get it pls ?

classic novels turn me on...though once in a while i go for espionage and horror books....i still love JANE AUSTEN, SHAKESPEARE, THOMAS HARDY

T

To pick a single book ad my favorite would be very hard. To mention a few of my favorite authors ;Steven James, catherine palmer,Francine rivers, Karen Kingsbury, john green,.
Steven James wins the award for crimes/fbi investigation. I hd read other authors before this. But after reading his books, I couldn't seem to read others again. It's like you've tested the best of the best and it's finished, but you aren't satisfied with others cus they aren't simply like it. Enough on this. Just go look for his books,the patrick bowers files(it's a series) I assure you, it's better than James Hadley chase' novels
For John green.... Hmmm I don't even know where to group him,Probably in romance and humor.his novels are great, funny, inspiring, etc. Anytime I need a good laugh and a little break from life, I'll read his books. But be careful, some of I'm novels do not have a happy ending. Some titles include looking for Alaska, the fault in our stars(everyone knows this), an abundance of Katherine's, etc
For romance, Christian romance to be precise, I'll give it to Francine rivers . She's the author that keeps you awake, turning the pages of her book. Her novels are captivating.her novels include redeeming love(the beesssttt), the scarlet thread, etc
Others includes oceans apart, dianne Mills novels, the great Ted dekker, Frank peretti,. BTW, they are all Christian authors.
I promised my self to stop reading Mills and Boone, harlequins, novels with explicit sex contents, as one can never be too careful of what you allow into your mind.
You can get these books at bookZZ.org

I've read lots of books, some being my favorite at various times...but I doubt if any other book(have read or will read) would make me get over "GONE WITH THE WIND" by Margeret Mitchell. It was #epppiiiccc!! What I loved the most was the fact that it did not portray its main character as a perfect figure, she was well faulted to the point of being deceitful and it did not also have the normal fairytale endings most books have. It centered around the American's Civil war,very detailed I must say(over a thousand pages), but every page was worth my energy. Its an old book though, first published in the 1930's. It's a MUST READ.

48 laws of power, read it a while ago* but the others I have read after it, do match up*

Where can I get that lord of the rings book? A lot of people have commented on the book, they say it's better then the film- Sam with Harry Potter!

LAST'S Anatomy

One of Sandra Brown's book of which it's title Is now vague to me.

I loved goosebumps. My favorite then was the cuckoo clock of doom

was thrilling and horror mixed together.

Adaeze003:
Like I actually read books...

I'm a movie person although school slowed that down.

In secondary school tho I did a lot of goosebumps, fear street and animorphs... lame rii?

I recently read a book about the life of Smith Wigglesworth... apart from that I'm going to say my fav book is the Bible...

Cc mizmycoli kachisbarbie mystique quivah sickstars misspicy estharfabian... ya'll sound like you read books no??

I am surprised that no one has yet mentioned James Hardley Chase... These books kept most who graduated from schools busy while waiting for next stage of life in the 1980s and 1990s.

Wow I can't believe no one has mentioned the incredible George R.R Martin's a song of ice and fire collection ....with the first book titled the game of thrones!!! all the way to a dance with dragons!!...the book is way bigger than the miniature universe they've created in the tv series....with characters like the new targeryan boy... Rhaegar and Elia Martell's son,Ser Jon Connigton,Victarion Greyjoy,Euron and so many others.....i'll advice Grab the books soon and allow your mind soar through Winterfell straight down to the wall,move on to sisterton join manderly at white harbour,travel with Samuel Tarly all the way to Oldtown,Move to Dorne where the new Targeryan dude will raise his banners join Ser connington at Griffin's roost then land finally at westeros and witness the murder of Ser Kevan lannister by Varys so called spiders!!!...Other books worthy of note are of course Harry potter series,Lord of the Rings by j.r.r Tolkien,stormlight series by Brandon sanderson and the name of the wind by Patrick rothfuss

I love inspirational and motivational books.THINK AND GROW RICH (BY NAPOLEON HILL).Some good quotes are WHATEVER THE MIND CAN CONCIEVE AND BELIEVE I IT CAN ACHIEVE IT.Another quote is THE STARTING POINT OF ALL GREATNESS IN LIFE, IS DESIRE.Thanks.

My favourite book is the Bible, its obvious, isn't it?

How I love thy law, it is my meditation all day long!

Blessed is the man that standeth not in the way of the ungodly...but his delight is in the law of The LORD, and in this law doth he meditate all day long
