I love the part in “A Well of Lost Plots” where Miss Havisham gives the Wuthering Heights characters anger management counseling...

My particular favourite is the bit set in Shadow the Sheepdog - I read that so often as a child! Check out the website, can't remember the URL, but type in Thursday Next and you'll get it. Lots of extra funny bits. Agree with you about the swearing etc - unnecessary.

Forget to mention I'm also reading Thud! by Terry Pratchett.

Oops, meant to say Thursday Next, not Friday, who's not the main character. I've changed it in my own post but it still shows up in elf_lady_9s quote!

I really enjoyed that book! The idea of a Cemetery of Forgotten Books was just wonderful. Drop me off there and pick me up when it's time to go home!

The Shadow of the Wind; Carlos Ruiz Zafon

If you've come across more along similar lines I'd like to hear about them too!

Those quotes are lovely!

"In books I meet the dead as if they were alive. In books I see what is past and what is yet to come. All things fade and pass with time, all fame would fall victim to oblivion if God had not given the mortal man the Book to aid him."~Richard De Bury

I forget where I found this quote, but it's one of my favorites.

Yes. I like your quote too, Jenka. In fact I can't say/hear enough good things about books!

I just finished reading "The Book Thief" by Marcus Zusak and "Haunted" by Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker.

Both are excellent books that I HIGHLY recommend.

Before that I read "Send Me" by Patrick Ryan. This book was alright (I've met the author and he's a REALLY nice guy) but I'm not eager to recommend it for the same reasons I don't oft recommend "Everything is Illuminated". The book has a lot of non-Christian undertones, but it is still very well-written and has an interesting story.

I am reading Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond. So far, I'd call it highly thought provoking.

I am reading "My Utmost For His Highest" my favorite daily devotional,since it is not just sweet morsels,but challenges one to accept their duties and responsibilities in their Christian walk.Also reading Stormie OMartian's "The Prayer That Changes Everything",Charles M. Sheldon's- "In His Steps", and getting ready to start reading the 7 volumes of "The Chronicles Of Narnia" which I have never read.

If you like medical thrillers,I recently finished "Demon In The Freezer",and it is intense,LOL!

I am reading Codependent No More by Melody Beattie. I was married for 8 years to an alcoholic, we got separated almost 2 years ago, I can still see the pain this relationship caused me so I am trying to heal the damage...TRUSTING THE LORD!
