Hello everyone, what are some of your all time favorite books? I'm ready for a can't-put-it-down type. I just finished reading White Oleander which was very well written but a little depressing, although I still enjoyed it.

--the emperor series by conn iggulden. its the life of julius cesear.
--blackwater, also by conn iggulden, if you like psychological-leaning novels.
--i just read sarah by marek halter. its the story of the biblical sarah, and it really gives you a different perspective of who she is. its somewhat explicit in its word-usage, but its a great story.

Oh! I've got that one! I should read it!
I've also got 'When Heaven Weeps', (picked them both up cheap on Trade ME - NZ's answer to Ebay) haven't read that one yet either, have you?
In my experience, any book by Ted Dekker is great though!

I couldn't stand Catcher in the Rye. We had to read it at school.
Angels and Demons is great though - liked it better than the Da Vinci Code, perhaps because it wasn't as hyped up by everyone?

Just finished reading the most amazing travel book (don't worry it's not a "travel book"!!!) called Absolutely Faking It! It was a facinating and, at times, really funny read. I highly recommend it!
