The Recommend a Book Chain Game
The idea of this game, is that... you recommend a book and the person below you basically replies: yes if they agree, no if they don't (and give reasons why if you wish) or don't know if you don't know the book. :)
I'll go first, obviously. See if this works!
The Stand - Stephen King
Yes! I read it in high school and have been wanting to read it again! One of the best - and scariest - books I've ever read! I'll stay with Stephen King and say:
The Green Mile.
I'll say "yes" even though I haven't read the books, but I LOVED the movie! I need to read the books...
Mists of Avalon
That is like on my first page of the list of books I want to read...for more than three years....
Fioan, no comment requested...
The Horse Whisperer - Nicholas Evans
Never read it OR saw the movie...i'm pretty sure it's on my TBR list though :) (which is much longer than what is listed on GR)
The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
It's been on my shelf for years and I will get to it one of these days.
The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson
Yes! I actually just got an advanced readers edition from bookmooch, and it is on my list to read very soon! However, I just got hooked on a new series...so I guess I should say...
Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
I WANT TO READ IT!!!! I have heard a lot of great things about it.
CROSS CROUNTRY by James Patterson
I'm desperate to read it - I ordered it off of PaperBackSwap ages ago and it still hasn't come ...
Water for Elephants
actually, despite its popularity-I personally did not get that much out of that one
The Secret History of the Pink Carnation
Don't know this, but the blurb sounds interesting. I like historical fiction (and semi-fiction).
This is on my TBR list: The Astonishing Life of Octavian Nothing...
It looks like my type of book, many of my GR friends liked it and it's now on my shelf.Perdido Street Station
No, I'm not a big sci-fi/fantasy fan, although I'll read some.
This is also on my TBR: anyone know it? love it? hate it?
I definitely would be interested in that book and am adding it to my TBR shelf. Thanks!!
I recommend Wrapped in Rain by Charles Martin (a GR author).
Eye Contact sounds GREAT! I'll be reserving it from the librry tonight. It's exactly the type of book I love to read!! Thanks Anderw!!
For any true lover of suspense/thriller books, I recommend The Face of Death by Cody McFadyen
Haven't heard of that though I'm a huge fan of suspense/thriller books. Maybe I'll get on him when I'm done reading some books I want to read first.For those who want to cry buckets of tears..
For One More Day by Mitch Albom
Doesn't Look Like a book I would read personally. But that is just my opinion.
Yayy Debbie! I'm glad, I'm trying to get everyone to read that book because it is amazing.
Recomending....Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr.
I had to look this up, seems kinda intersting and racy. I'd put it on my TBR list and read it.
Watership Downs
Watership Down was required reading when I was in high school. I enjoyed the book then and am thinking about revisiting it.Into Thin Air A Personal Account of the Mt. Everest Disaster
That's on my TBR list and I need to reserve it from the library! I've read some very good things about it, so I'll be looking forward to reading it.
A Peculiar Grace by Jeffrey Lent (a GR author I think)
Not on my TBR and have not heard a lot of good things about this book...
Last Lecture by Randy Pausch
Ye-es but not a favourite of mine. I guess after so much hype you'd expect more, but still fairly enjoyable and very scary how close he is...Stiff The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach
I was replying to Andrew's... sorry!! :(And by the looks this game is leading to a long chain of books being added to people's tbr piles. MWHAHAHA!
To Nancy, I dont know if that is something I would read myself.
The Cave by Jose Saramago
(I decided to give my Blindness push a rest :P)
Nope would not read it...
I will go back to my original book that was not commented on
The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch
I've never read anything by Le Carre and this sounds very good. I've added it to my TBR and reserves from the library.
I recommend Red River by Lalita Tademy. It's a great blend of an historical event mixed with her family history and historical fiction. A very profoundly moving book and perfectly times to read with the upcoming inauguration.
I'm ashamed to say I haven't read anything yet by Toni Morrison, but will remedy that soon.Sickened The Memoir of a Munchausen by Proxy Childhood
I've read it!
Stiff by Mary Roach
