I also like history and lately, for some reason, romance. Don’t have a lot of time to read, so hard copy reading is usually regulations and directives. I end up listening to other books.
June 4, 2018 at 10:30 pm #30192AnonymousInactiveN.K. Jemisin’s Inheritance and The Broken Earth series are two of my current favorites.
Kristin Cashore’s Graceling and Fire
Classic favorites are plays: Tennessee Williams’ The Glass Menagerie, Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman, Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol
I also love the Song of Ice & Fire series
July 8, 2018 at 2:21 pm #30335AnonymousInactiveI tend to gravitate towards 19th century literature (the writers I love most are Poe, Stevenson, Dickens, Melville, and Conrad in that order), although, if something’s well-written, all bets are off. My favorite books are The Complete Stories and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe, The Complete Stories of Flannery O’Connor, Moby-Dick, Kidnapped, and The Picture of Dorian Gray.
February 21, 2019 at 1:29 am #30881CorrineSpectatorThis one’s a bit embarrassing but my all time favourite book would have to be Howl’s Moving Castle, no matter how many times I re-read it I still laugh. Of course I love the Harry Potter series, Angels & Demons and any good thriller.
