Choose a Book That You Would Enjoy Reading and Haven't Yet

A person will add a book title/author from someone's Library that I really am intersted in reading and the owner of that library

Then someone searches their library and adds a book that is interesting to them.

The last entry is always the library that the next person searches to find a book that they would be interested in reading.

So on and so on

Got it?

This will keep your wish list growing.

From Suziehsharp's Library I pick The Neighbors by Lisa Gardner

:) From callmejacx's library See Jane Die by, Erica Spindler have seen this author but never read anything by her.

I never heard of her either until my friend lend me out her books. Fast read and enjoyable

From susiesharp's library I will pick Tales from the Drones Club by P.G. Wodehouse. About time I branched out from the Jeeves and Wooster books.

From AHS-Wolfy I picked Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden. Need to explore more works in the non-American genre.

From george1295, I choose Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel - the whole Booker shortlist is waiting for me to pick them up and the winner is probably a good start :)

PS: Whoever picks from mine, use the proposed style or make Work:Title and Author visible to see the English names of my Bulgarian language books

From AnnieMod's library I would love to read Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris. I think this is the first in the series and I have heard lots of good things about these books.

From DeltaQueen50's library I chose The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, it's already in my wishlist.

Edit: Am I the only one in this thread with less than 200 books?

From the collection of ageeliz I would pick Speaker for the Dead by Orson Scott Card. I've recently read the fantastic Ender's Game and want to carry on with the next in the series at some point.

I've seen others participate with less than 100 but size doesn't matter it's the quality not the quantity to coin a couple of phrases and I've never had a problem finding something to choose from your library.

From AHS-Wolfy library, I would pick Inspector Morse: The Complete Collection by Colin Dexter - I like the series and had always wanted to pick up the books.

From AnnieMod's library, I have chosen After the Funeral by Agatha Christie because I have enjoyed Hercule Poirot in the past.

From aussiecowgurl's library, Blood and Thunder: An Epic of the American West by (Hampton Sides)

From cwflatt's library, I chose Into Thin Air: A personal account of the Mt. Everest disaster by Jon Krakauer. Fantastic author!

From Carmenere I would like to read Daughter of Fortune by Isabel Allende, but I think I would have to sneak it away as it's listed as her current read.

#9 Ageeliz - perhaps you just have better self control than most of us when it comes to buying books! I admit it, I have an addiction to book buying!

From DeltaQueen50's library I would like to chose Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, I still haven't read it and want to do so before getting Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

P.S: Not that I really care, but my nick is aqeeliz with Q not G :)

From aqeeliz's library I would read A Case of Exploding Mangoes by Mohammed Hanif - a great title that just begs to be read (and the description sounds like something that I might like actually). And looking through this library, I was reminded again that I need to get all my books in LT at the end :)

PS: Whoever picks from mine, use the proposed style or make "Work:Title and Author" visible to see the English names of my Bulgarian language books.

From AnnieMod's library I choose The Umbrella Academy Volume 1 by Gerard Way, which I understand is a very inventive graphic novel.

From jnwelch's library, I have chosen Breakfast with Buddha: A Novel by Roland Merullo.

From nzurisana's collection, I've selected The Wall by John Hersey.

From Sandydog1's library I'll choose Vanity Fair by Thackeray. I've wanted to read this for the past 9/10 years. Because it was the last book my eldest great-aunt read before she got lost in the darkness of Alzheimer's.

From Porua,s library I would love to read The Scandal of Father Brown by G. K. Chesterton. It has been a long time since I last read a Father Brown mystery, and this is a title I don't recognize

I would choose Medicine Woman by Lynn V Andrews from callemejacz

Hi everyone - not sure where this thread is at so I will take the plunge and make choices from both lunarcheck and mnleona's libraries:

From lunacheck's library I choose Out by Natsuo Kirino - I am a sucker for mystery/ crime/ thrillers and this received a good rating from lunacheck.

From mnleona's libray I choose The Crystal Skull by Manda Scott - same reason as above :-)

Happy reading all!

From lkernagh's library I would pick On the Occasion of My Last Afternoon by Kaye Gibbons - one of those titles that make me check the book and I like what I read as a description.

PS: Whoever picks from mine, use the proposed style or make "Work:Title and Author" visible to see the English names of my Bulgarian language books.

I would like to read Strange Highways by Dean Koontz from AnnieMod's library. He is one of my favorite authors and I haven't read this one.

I would like At Home In Mitford by Jan Karon from PaperbackPirate's library. People seem to love this series and I would like to try it out.

I would like to read Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper from DetaQueen50's library. It is considered a classic, and I have never read it.

I choose The Dogs of Babel by Carolyn Parkhurst from Fuzzy's library. This will be unexplored territory for me, so I hope it's the place to start!

From LizzieD' library I choose Midshipman's Hope by David Feinteuch. I like military space opera and I've never heard of this one!

Oooh... A new library to go through. The choice was an easy one... from aviddiva's library I choose A Countess Below by Eva Ibbotson.... Historical Fiction and the Russian Revolution... I am now off to hunt down a copy!

From lkernagh's library I pick One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez. A classic untouched by me.

From AHS-Wolfy's library I choose The Book Thief by Markus Zusak.
@9: I'm with you!
If it's inappropriate to choose a book that was already chosen, I'll pick Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.

Having read Master and Margarita and Catch 22 already, I think I'd enjoy this title from sneuper's collection. I've chosen The Life and Extraordinary Adventures of Private Ivan Chonkin.

Into the Heart of Borneo by Redmond O'Hanlon
is my choice frm Sandydog's library

this thread has gone pretty quiet. if it's ok I'm going to suggest a variation - as well as a book I want to read from the previous person's library (which after all might not be any good since I haven't read it yet) I'm going to recommend one maybe surprising book from my own library that I'm absolutely sure many people would enjoy and that they might not think of themselves.

from grelobe's library I want to read from the earth to the moon by jules verne.

from my own library I really really liked utz by bruce chatwin.

From the library of lunarcheck, I've selected Chess Story.

As for my library, uh I don't know. I thought Ulysses was a pretty cool read.

From my own library, I recommend A Trip to the Stars by Nicholas Christopher

I found a Georgette Heyer that I haven't read yet in Aviddiva's library, so I would love to read The Quiet Gentleman.

Edited to add my selection from my library: The Sea Runners by Ivan Doig was a recent great read.

I am choosing The Blood of Flowers by Anita Amirrezvani (unless I've already done so). I own a copy that I haven't read, but it was on last year's Orange Broadband Prize longlist.

From my own library I'd choose the OBP winner for 2008, The Road Home by Rose Tremain: absolutely my favorite book of the year and maybe the decade.

(Edited to say - great idea, Lunarcheck!)

From LizzidD's many mysteries I have chosen Best Man to Die by Ruth Rendell, one of my favorite authors.

From my own library I recommend The Mango Season by Amulya Malladi. The author deals with a subject so many of my Indian friends have had to confront, and Malladi's wonderful ending left me feeling there is still hope for this world.

from nzurisana's library I'd lik to read Anne Frank Remembered : the Story of the Woman Who Helped to Hide the Frank Family by Miep Gies

From my wn library I recommend Apartment in Athens by Glenway Welscot
1942 in Athens an apartment is requisitioned to put up a Nazi German Officier. In the flat live a married couple with a son and a daughter . Him is a witty and patient intellecual. She’s a nervous and ailing housewife. The boy, ten year old, is full of avenge feelings, the daughter is clumsy perhaps ritarded. When Captain Kalter come, all this is blotted out, he is methodic and cruel, who imposes only terror upon them

From grelob's library I've grabbed The Battle: A New History of Waterloo.

From my library, I'll recommend Master and Margarita. It would be tough to find another book that does such a great job with that whole Stalinist, witchcraft, passion, crucifiction, talking-machine-gun-toting cat genre.

From Sandydog1's library I choose Darwin and the Beagle. I've been wanting to read a good bio about Darwin and Sandydog1 gave it 4 stars.

From my library I would recommend Gone With the Wind. Long but awesome.

from paperbackpirate I pick Plainsong by Kent Haruf.I've looked at this book a few times and you gave it 5 stars so will give it a try.

From my Library I would recommend Earthly Pleasures by, Karen Neches This is a really fun book about a greeter in heaven and how all of the worlds problems can be solved by the lyrics to Beatles songs!

From Susiesharp's library I would like to pick Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier, I've heard that she's a great fantasy writer.

Keeping with the fantasy genre, I would recommend The Lions of al-Rassan by Guy Gavriel Kay, he's another great fantasy writer and this book is one of his best.

susiesharp...I never tire from looking in your library. This time I think I will pick The Book of Flying by Keith Miller. I am not a big fan of fantasy but there comes a time when a person has to get out of their comfort zone and seek new and maybe better things.

Lucky we shouldn't have picked the same book DeltaQueen. lol I suppose the next person can pick from either your library or mine.

Well I'll choose from both your libraries!From Deltaqueen All My Sisters by, Judith Lennox.
And from callmejax Copy Cat by, Erica Spindler.

I will suggest anything my Juliet Marillier She is a great fantasy author!

from susiesharp's library I'd like to read a breath of snow and ashes - I don't know anything about the author or the series but it's such a cool title.

from my library I love le grand meaulnes by alain-fournier. definitely one of those novels you have to read "before you die" and that you will be glad you did. check out the guardian's review by clicking on the title.

from lunarcheck 's library this memory book drawn my attention on it
The Empty Mirror Experiences in a Japanese Zen Monastery by Janwillem Van De Wetering

from my library I suggest The Devil's Cup : A History of the World According to Coffee by Stewart Lee Allen

As a torrefactioner 's son , and having been a torrefactioner myself for a good deal of years, I can assure you , that this book is not only witty, but is also informative about coffee.

I thought I'd try Down and Out in Paris and London from grelobe's collection.

Speaking of gloomy but very, very interesting, I'm almost through The Great Influenza. I strongly recommend it.

I apology to step in again so early
but I don't want to forget (given the times) to pick Sandydog1 suggestion about The Great Influenza by John M.Barry

yesterday browsing my own library I came across this book that I had forgotten altoghether
Lempriere's Dictionary by Lawrence Norfolk, it is not an easy reading because the story-line is a little complicated and spawns on two hundred years, but it is worth the effort.

Well, it's been several days, so I'm gonna just jump back in. From Grelobe, I've chosen Outwitting History. I heard about this effort from one of Nicholas Basbanes' books.

As for a recommendation I can't say enough about the books of Nicholas Basbanes. Try Patience & Fortitude or A Splendor of Letters. These are books for book lovers.

I keep losing track of this thread! I would really like to read The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien. This collection of short stories about Viet Nam sounds intriguing.

I would like to recommend Plum Island by Nelson DeMille. I think it is one of his best. A great thriller with plenty of his trademark humor.

From DeltaQueen's library I will chose Still Life by Louise Penny. My mother and others keep recommending her to me and I haven't read a good mystery in a while.

From my library, keeping to the mystery genre I suggest Thus Was Adonis Murdered by Sarah Caudwell. Her young barristers always make me laugh.

Hi, I'm new to LibraryThing; may I join in? Such an interesting thread!

From aviddiva's library, I would choose Basics of Singing by Janice Schmidt. I am a (very) amateur singer, having sung in choirs of around 80-120 voices for 20 years but never, ever, volunteering for a solo! I'm conscientious about note-bashing (do you use that expression in the States? - means note-learning but is more expressive!) but don't think my voice sounds that great and I struggle with breath control. I'd like voice lessons but they are too far down the list of priorities to spend money on. So why didn't I think of looking for a How-To book? No idea. Sometimes you just don't know that there are questions that can be asked.

So that's my choice, and I'm now off to Amazon.co.uk to search for it or something similar. Many thanks, aviddiva!

Welcome JoannaON! From your library I would like Stardust by Neil Gaiman. I read Coraline recently and I think I would like Stardust even more.

From my library I would suggest A Pirate of Exquisite Mind: Explorer, Naturalist, and Buccaneer: The Life of William Dampier by Diana Preston. Best non-fiction I think I've ever read.

Oh dear, I've just realised I got so involved in perusing aviddiva's library that I forgot about the second element...

So, going back a step, the book I suggest from my own library is A Long Way from Verona by Jane Gardam, which is deep, funny, short, and concerned amongst other things with the nature of being a writer...And usually found classified as a children's book!

I chose The Monkey Wrench Gang from PaperbackPirate.

As for a recommendation, I'd visit (or re-visit) Ulysses. I "read" huge chunks of it on audio, and that really helped.

From Sandydog's library I choose Woman in White by, Wilkie Collins.
Recommended from my library is Nefertiti: A Novel by, Michelle Moran~She writes great historical fiction!

From Susiesharp' library I choose Replay by Ken Grimwood

from my library my suggestion is: Arabian Sands by Wilfred Thesiger Sands is the name that Bedu give to the hardest desert of Arabia , the so called , by the Europeans, Empty Quarter. Thesiger wasn’t the first European to go into it, already two English man did it long before him, but the first two, only criss-crossed it, from north to south and from east to west; Thesiger instead, spent five years og his life exploring and mapping it,and sharing the harsh life ot the bedu tribes.

i would love to read the new Ellen Hopkins book Tricks.

sorry , shelby , but I suppose you've got to look for it somewhere else, because I don't have it in my library

its ok. it just came out to buy. :) ty anywayz

To get us back on track I choose from grelobe's library The Accidental Tourist by, Anne Tyler

From my library I recommend Pawn of Prophecy by David Eddings The Belgariad #1..Great Epic Fantasy!

From Susiesharp's library I choose Bloody Jack by L.A. Meyer. This looks like a fun series and the kind of book I would love to share with my grandaughter when she's just a little older. It's currently on my Wishlist.

From my library I would like to offer River of Darkness by Rennie Airth. A very good historical mystery set in the years just after WWI.

From DeltaQueen's library I choose One Thousand White Women: The Journals of May Dodd by Jim Fergus -- it's historical fiction on a quite unusual subject.

From my library, I recommend The Queen's Gambit by Walter Tevis. A novel about a female chess prodigy which deserves to be better known than it is.

From aviddiva's library--The Animal Dialogues: Uncommon Encounters in the Wild by Craig Childs.

From my library? Gardening for love : the market bulletins by Elizabeth Lawrence.

I just spent considerable time strolling the stacks of MsMixte's library. I've settled on Cap'n Fatso!

I'm currently reading about those dysfunctional Karamazov boys, I'd recommend The Brothers Karamazov

77> MsMixte, The Animal Dialogues are wonderful -- I highly recommend them!

from Sandydog1's library I choose :"Nine Hills to Nambonkaha : Two Years in the Heart of an African Village" by Sara Erdman

from my library I suggest Call it Sleep by Henry Roth
It can be read from various point of view; there’s the Jews condition and way of life early in 1900, the immigrant condition, the classic family pattern and how religion can influence a young mind.

besides, I just want to back, to support and to second the aviddiva suggestion: The Queen's Gambit by Walter Tevi, one of my all time favorite books. Even if you know very little about chess, like me, the way the author describes the long match is absolutely riveting. Then there’s also the life and the story of the adopted girl.

First off ,aviddiva I just finished One Thousand White Women its really good!

From grelobes library I picked Happiness: A Novel
by Will Ferguson. It sounds funny and interesting.

And the book I just finished and am totally loving this author is The Heretic Queen by, Michelle Moran

Hello all.

I would choose Say Goodbye by Lisa Gardner from susiesharp's Library.

From marcejewels library, I'd choose Water for Elephants. I've heard many good things about it but haven't gotten around to buying or reading it yet.

The Professor and the Madman by Simon Winchester sounds like a tempting item from christiguc's library.

I think that christiguc (and anyone who enjoys reading cookbooks) might enjoy peeking at Bull cook and authentic historical recipes and practices by George Leonard Herter!

Sandydog1, Cap'n Fatso is an excellent choice. Aviddiva, I shall see about adding The Animal Dialogues to my reading list.

MsMixte, The Professor and the Madman is an amazing story! The professor relied on the madman for extremely obscure OED entries. Little did the professor know, that the madman could have probably written the entire OED.

I'm going to keep an eye out for Cap'n Fatso, but for this time, I will select Them : adventures with extremists.

I would suggest The Owl Papers. I've done a lot of owling in years past and am especially fond of the descriptions of visits in CT and the Bronx.

Because I am feeling more Canadian than usual, and because I thoroughly enjoyed Stephen Leacock's Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town, I pick Beauty Tips from Moosejaw by Will Ferguson from Sandydog1's collection.

From Corneggs' library, as a Canadian transplanted to the U.S. via marriage, I choose The Border: Canada, The U.S. And Dispatches From The 49th Parallel by James Laxer.

From tropics library I pick The Glass Castle by, Jeannette Walls..I've heard alot about this book and I'm definatly going to read it.

Since I picked a non-fiction book I would like to recommend a non-fiction book called My Lobotomy by, Howard Dully,it is an amazing story of a boy who's stepmother takes him in for a lobotomy because he acts up.Very powerful book!

From susiesharp's library I choose Beastly by Alex Flinn. I like Fairy tale retellings, and this one looks interesting.

From my library, keeping to YA fiction and curses, I recommend A Fistful of Sky by Nina Kiriki Hoffman.

I love reading plays. So, from aviddiva's wonderful collection of plays I choose Look Back in Anger by John Osborne.

Continuing in the same vein, from my own library I'd recommend a play that I've recently read (and loved!), The Playboy of the Western World by J.M.Synge.

from Porua's library I feel to try Life with Father by Clarence Day

from my own library I picked The Legend of Colton H. Bryant by Alexandra Fuller, a powerful and poignant true story, about a young boy growing up in Wyoming and all he ever wanted was to be just like his dad, who worked on the oil rigs. He loved the mountains, hunting and fishing, and spending time outdoor with a few friends of him.

Ok, sorry that I camp out here more than Boy Scouts at Philmont. But the traffic has been really slow.

From the library of Grelobe, I selected Suite Francaise.

From mine, I'll suggest Zuleika Dobson.

I do love snooping through libraries. More players, more players, more players!

From Sandydog1, I selected War and Peace and also Zuleika Dobson, because you recommended it.

My library is teeny tiny, but I can't wait to see it grow and read all these great books!!

From wflooter480's library I would pick Truman Capote's In Cold Blood as it's a title I really do want to pick up at some point in the not too distant future.

For those that like a little humour with their mystery/crime writings then I would recommend one of Christopher Brookmyre's books.

From AHS-Wolfy's library I picked Johnny and the Dead (The Johnny Maxwell Trilogy) by, Terry Pratchett..Been meaning to read this one for awhile.

From my library I recommend The Help by, Kathryn Stockett..This was a really good book!

Heeding Sandydog1's plea, I pick Down the Rabbit Hole by Peter Abrahams from susiesharp's library, which looks to be a fun YA mystery.

From my own library I recommend Always Outnumbered, Always Outgunned, a riveting and moralistic Socrates Fortlow story by Walter Mosley.

Love your library jnwelch! Because of discussions on other theads I would love to pick The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie.
And keeping with the British Mystery theme, I would recommend The Sculptress by Minette Walters from my library.

From deltaqueen ‘s library I choose The Mulberry Empire: A Novel by Philip Hensher

From my library I suggest Timbuktu by Paul Auster , a poignant story about a dog and his half crazy , beggar and poet owner; the dog dreams to go to a magical place called Timbuktu where dogs and owners can share the same language so they can comunicate to each other

From grelobe's library I have chosen Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

From my library, I suggest Something Missing, a debut novel by Matthew Dicks. It's quirky and a lot of fun.

'Can't go wrong with Nabokov. From the voluminous library of nzurisana, I've chosen The Stories of Vladimir Nabokov.

I would recommend The White Tiger, a Booker prize winner.

From Sandydog1's history library I choose "The Human Story: Our History from the Stone Age to today" by James C. Davies.

From my library I recommend the historical novel "Sarum" by Edward Rutherford ("The Novel of England").

From my library I recommend Armed and Dangerous by Gina Gallo, an autobiography of a Chicago policewoman; the touchstone's wrong so you can also look here:

http://www.amazon.com/Armed-Dangerous-Memoirs-Policewoman-Illinois/dp/0312878907...

Since I'm not ready to reread *Anna K,* I'll gladly take A Gentle Madness by Nicholas A. Basbanes from Sandydog's library.
From my own I'll suggest Miss Mole by E.H. Young, a delightful story of a delightful and odd woman.

From LizzieD's library I would take Booked to Die by John Dunning. I bought the last book in the series, not realizing it was part of a series!

From my library I suggest Plainsong, especially if you're tired of your family after this weekend.

Plainsong sounds really good, and while I'm at PaperbackPirate's library I would also slip No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith out as well.

From my library I suggest Follow the River by James Alexander Thom. It's a great historical novel about an American woman pioneer who is taken by Indians and manages to find her way back home through the wilderness.

From Deltaqueen's library (always hard to pick just one from your library) I picked Beneath a Marble Sky by John Shors

From my library I recommend The Shadow of the Wind by, Carlos Ruiz Zafon - If you like books about books and gothic fiction this book has it all!

From susiesharp's library, I choose Waiting for Normal by Leslie Connor, which looks like a very good young adult novel that I hadn't heard of.

From my library, I recommend Dairy Queen by Catherine Gilbert Murdock, a young adult novel whose main character D.J. will stick with you.

I love your library, too, Deltaqueen50! From it I'll take World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War, which has gotten such good buzz.

From my library I recommend John Berryman's The Dream Songs, which is an amazing group of related poems featuring the characters Henry and Mr. Bones.

Graphic novels are something I rarely think about so I'll take this opportunity to pick The Sandman by Neil Gaiman from jnwelch's library.

From my own, I would recommend Faerie Tale by Raymond E. Feist. A fantasy/horror book that rarely gets the attention it deserves.

Ok, I need something light because I am STILL reading The Brothers Karamazov. So I picked out The Inimitable Jeeves from Wolfy's library.

Aw I don't know, I guess I'd suggest some more Russian lit, maybe Gogol, tonight. How about Dead Souls.

From my friend Sandy's library I will have to pick A Christmas Garland by Max Beerbohm. I picked this one 1. because it's that time of year. 2. I think that Max's name is fitting for the season. 3. LT tells me I will ike it 4. It's a classic I haven't heard of 5. It has humour and what a better way to spend at this time of year.

From grelobe's library I'm going for The Sunday of Life by Raymond Queneau. I'm going to need a Q author fairly soon for my alphabet challenge and this sounds intriguing.

An ideal genre starter or for any existing fantasy fan then I would recommend The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss from my own library.

I picked Chase The Morning by Michael Scott Rohan from AHS-Wolfy's library. I am finding myself quite a fan of fantasy, this one was highly rated, and I loved the cover.

From my library I would like to offer Requiem Shark by Nicholas Griffin. A great historical read about pirates.

From DeltaQueen's library I choose House of Dreams by Pauline Gedge. I'm in the mood for someplace warm, and Ancient Egypt certainly fills the bill.

From My Library, I recommend Coming Home by Rosamund Pilcher. Nothing like a good romantic saga to curl up and escape with, and this one is better than most.

From Aviddiva's library, I've selected Random Harvest. The LT reviews are terrific.

Oh, and from mine, I'd suggest The Trial.

Since I'm currently enjoying a travel book, I picked another one from Sdog's library: News from Tartary: A Journey from Peking to Kashmir by Ian Fleming's brother Peter. It looks exactly like my kind of thing.
From my own library I'll recommend Ammonite by Nicola Griffith (who is not Nicholas Griffin as in DQ's post #122, but that's how I first read his name).

from LizzieD's library eyes fell on Love and War in the Apennines by Eric Newby

From grelobe's library I pick Love in the Time of Cholera (darn touchstones!) by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, which I've been meaning to read.

From mine I recommend After the Quake by Haruki Murakami, a book of short stories that is a pretty good introduction to his work if you haven't read him. I saw some of the stories adapted as a play in Chicago and loved it. It set me off on a bender of Murakami reading.

From jnwelch's library I picked Whose Body? (Lord Peter Wimsey Mysteries) by, Dorothy Sayers I've been hearing about this author but have never read anything by her.Is it a cozy mystery??

from my library I recommend The Sugar Queen by, Sarah Addison Allen

Dunno why, but I chose the downer The Glass Castle: A Memoir from susie's stacks.

I'd suggest War and Peace. Really.

From DeltaQueen"s library I've chosen All the King's Men by Nigel McCrery.

From my library, check out Things Fall Apart.

From Sandydog1's library I would select The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Not only is it an classic piece of literature that I haven't read but perhaps it would also help me more appreciate the last book I just finished, Norwegian Wood.

From Wolfy's library, I chose The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle by Murakami since I already read Kafka on the Shore and loved it!

From my library I would recommend anything by James Harriot if you are someone who enjoys animals, and a good chuckle.

It's been awhile since I've looked at your library, callmejacx. Remembered why I marked it as interesting - I love all your comments.

From my library I'd like to recommend The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver.

It's been even longer since I looked at your library PaperbackPirate.. I see you have a new picture. May I be so bold and ask you who the women are in the photo?

I was so excited that I got this chance to look at your library again. I didn't get past the first page before I picked Alfred Hitchcock Presents Stories for Late at Night by no other than Mr. Alfred Hitchcock himself. I own one of his books, but never ever read any of this. It's really embarressing.

Another that caught my eye was the Alice in Wonderland book by Lewis Carroll published in 2006. My oldest son collects Alice in Wonderland books. The latest I gave to him was a rare one from the U.K. Have to make a note to get a hold of the one you have.

I didn't have to look very far into otterley's library before I found Milton in America by Peter Ackroyd. I'm always up for giving Ackroyd a chance.
From my own library I would choose The Irish R.M. by cousins Edith Somerville and Martin Ross. As Bbunny says above, "There is some funny writing in them thar pages!"

From grelobe's library I must pick The Appeal by John Grisham. It seems grelobe and I have similar tastes. We share 32 books.

From Jackie's library, I picked Lady Oracle.

Amy

From BlackSheepDances' library I choose The Botany of Desire: A Plant's-Eye View of the World by Michael Pollan.

From Porua's library, I would choose Agatha Christie's Autobiography

I skipped an interesting Zola title, (the Earth) from Carrotlady's collection (nice strixine profile photo, by the way).

Instead I chose Battle Cry by Uris.

From my library I'd suggest Out of the Noosphere. It's a nice compilation of Outside Magazine articles.

Sorry, all three touchstones are a bit poky right now...

from Sandydog1's library sounds interesting The Killer Angels:a novel of the Civil War by Michael Shaara

and I'm staying on the same theme, with our civil war, proposing:

Johnny the Partisan by Beppe Fenoglio

From Grelobe's collection I would choose The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon

From Carrotlady's library I would love to read Beau Geste by P. C. Wren. I love the Gary Cooper movie, but am sure the book would be more in-depth.

From my library I would recommend These Is My Words by Nancy Turner, a wonderful story of early Arizona.

From DeltaQueen50's library I'd like The Keys to the Street by Ruth Rendell, a mystery writer I should read more of and one DQ50 rates highly.

From my own library I recommend The Last Good Kiss by James Crumley, a high octane noir.

Never Cry Wolf by Farley Mowat sounds like an interesting read and I have no hesitation about picking this one from jnwelch's library.

From my own I would suggest a retelling of The Count of Monte Cristo story brought into modern day, The Stars' Tennis Balls by Stephen Fry.

Never Cry Wolf is an amazing story. There is a sad conservation theme that is common in several other Mowat books such as A Whale for the Killing or People of the Deer.

From Wolfy's books, I chose All Fun and Games Until Somebody Loses an Eye. Speaking of humor, I just read Me write book. Very funny and highly recommended. I can't wait to get my hands on the prequel.

From grelobe's library, I would like to read Apartment in Athens. Have added it to my Wishlist.

From my library, I would recommend The Murderer's Daughters by Randy Susan Meyers, and it is NOT a mystery. Rather, it is fiction based on fact reflecting upon the collateral damage of domestic violence - children.

Baker Towers by Jennifer Haigh caught my eye as I was browsing Saratoga99's library this morning. It looks like a book I would really enjoy.

I hope I am not repeating my recommendations from my library. Today I recommend The Children's War by Monique Charlesworth. A very good read about a young Jewish girl surviving in France during WW II.

220,
I don't know why I dropped The Flame Trees of Thika, after just a few pages. I'll have to re-visit.

221,
I'm not very maudlin but that Randy Pausch book is excelletn. His lecture can also be seen on Youtube and on other internet sources.

From the Queen's library, I've chosen A Town Like Alice.

I'd recommend Bill Bryson's African Diary, a tiny (49 page) soft-sell based on an 8-day CARE International trip to Kenya.

Back to Sandydog's library once again, this time I am tempted by Traversa: A Solo Walk Across Africa from the Skeleton Coast to the Indian Ocean by Fran Sandham.

From my own library I would recommend An African Season by Leonard Levitt, an account of the author's teaching experience in Tanzania.

#224 - Sandydog - Flame Trees was one of those books I stumbled upon in grad school that convinced me that I would someday have to find a way to live in Africa. I hope you do give it another chance.

As I near 30 posts for this thread alone, I hope the ol' dawg's not boring everyone. But this thread has been so quiet! Any new folks out there?

I'm staying with the African theme and chose Out of Africa from nzurisana's library.

And, let me suggest Achebe's poignant Things Fall Apart.

I was thinking that maybe we ought to invite all our friends on this thread so we can all have a bit of variety.

Anyways...I searched throught Sandydog1's library and found First, Break All the Rules: What the World's Greatest Managers Do Differently by Marcus Buckingham. Thought it would be a good read for my son but would like to read it before I hand it over to him.

From callmejacx's library, I would choose Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke, because it's one of those books I am always meaning to read as the title and the cover intrigue me and so far I haven't got round to it.

From my library I would choose a book I have just finished reading as it happens The Necropolis Railway by Andrew Martin, an unusual little book, a murder mystery set in 1903 London, in the grubby noisy world of steam trains and Waterloo Station. I enjoyed it very much.

Seeing as both the book and the film are garnering a certain amount of praise then I will pick Dennis Lehane's Shutter Island from Carrotlady's library.

From my own I will suggest something from one of the bright new lights of the fantasy genre, Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson.

I enjoyed Mistborn and its sequels. From AHS-Wolfy's library I pick The Fifth Elephant by Terry Pratchett, which some have told me is a good place to start with this popular author.

From my own library I recommend Walter Mosley's The Long Fall, a well-written new mystery by a master.

From jnwelch's library I would like to chose Hope Was Here, a YA that looks good and rated 5 stars.

From my library, I would like to recommend a book I just finished. Sun Going Down by Jack Todd is an excellent family saga about pioneer life in Nebraska and Wyoming.

Hope you like Hope Was Here, DQ50! It's a favorite across generations in my family.

From DeltaQueen50's library I'd like The Business of Dying, a five star mystery.

From my own I recommend Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy, a creepy great novel.

Blood Meridian is on my TBR mountain, Joe. From your library I have to pick Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!. It is so highly rated!

I'm currently reading a compilation of mostly travel magazine articles. I'd suggest Jaguars Ripped My Flesh.

From Sandydog1's library, I'd like to read Diary of a Nobody by George Grossmith

From my library, and also in the vein of humorous fiction, I'd recommend The Spellman Files by Lisa Lutz (and subsequent novels) -- a light and very funny novel about a family of private detectives, and yet with bittersweet and poignant moments and threads which are perhaps easy to miss in the breezier whole. And Lisa Lutz has a better grip on her metaphors than I did in that previous sentence.

haven't been here for awhile 1010 Challenge has been filling up my wishlist and TBR pretty good but thought I'd stop back.

From Capybara 99's library I picked Child 44 by, Tom Rob Smith.

From my library one of my favorite reads so far this year Saving CeeCee Honeycutt by, Beth Hoffman,if you were a fan of The Help you'll like this one!

From Susiesharp's Library I would choose 'Say Goodbye' by "Lisa Gardner"

From my Library I would recommend 'The Manufactured Identity' by "Heath Sommer"

I loved it, favourite for the year so far.

From Susiesharp's Library I would choose Say Goodbye by "Lisa Gardner"

From my Library I would recommend The Manufactured Identity by "Heath Sommer"

I finally did the touchstone correct, yaaay me.

From marcejewels I'd choose Push: A novel by Sapphire. It was hard to find something that I liked from marcejewel. But Push is really a book that I want read right now.

I've been thinking about picking up more graphic novels so, having heard good things about the series, I will pick Fables Deluxe Edition Vol. 1 by Bill Willingham from Ancie's library.

From my own I would recommend The Quiet American by Graham Greene. Well deserving of its classic status.

From Wolfy's library I chose The Complete Short Stories by Saki.

From mine, I'd pick War with the Newts.

From Sandydog1's library, I would choose A Walk In The Woods by Bill Bryson. I have enjoyed some other titles by Bryson. He is easy to read. He makes me believe I can hike these trails or visit these sites, too.

From my library , I would choose Burning Down the House:Essays on Fiction by Charles Baxter. I think these essays can be read and enjoyed by the non-writer, also.

The World of Brambly Hedge by Jill Barklem is what I would select from mmignano11's library. I used to love the Little Grey Rabbit books when I was a child, and i would love to read them again. I was never lucky enough to see the Brambly Hedge books when I was a kid, even if they were around then (I don't know when they were written), so I would like to read them now.

From my library I would choose The Birthday Boys by Beryl Bainbridge, a take on Scott's final voyage of exploration.

I guess I am allowed to do this right? Since the game has slowed down I thought I would jump right in and make another selection-The Wire In The Blood by Val McDermid from Carrotlady's library.

From my library I would suggest In Lieu of Flowers: A Conversation For The Living by Nancy Cobb

Carrotlady, The World of Brambly Hedge (mine is not a pop-up book) is a beautifully illustrated book that I spent hours perusing after I received it as a gift. I even sketched some of the pictures from the book and enjoyed coloring them in, using the book as a guide. The characters are so unique and precious!

#243 mmignano11, apart from the beautiful illustrations, part of the draw for me is nostalgia, they would take me back to a time when I was young, carefree, happy, full of the joys and having huge adventures with my little friends, with my grandparents around to read to me and play games with me. I know we should never look back, but my childhood was a precious time for me which will never come again, except for a few moments now and again in books such as these.

# 244 I totally agree with you. One shouldn't look back but it was such a great time! I terribly miss my childhood.

From mmignano11's library, I'll pick 100 One-Night Reads: A Book Lover's Guide.

From my own library in the spirit of reminiscences of childhood, I'd recommend The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett, a beautiful book.

Great idea Carrotlady

From Porua I'll choose Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling

From my library I picked Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Montgomery

:)

From P3aper, I've selected Suburban Safari: A Year on the Lawn and I really hope to encounter it sometime soon.

From my library, I'd suggest Traversa.

From Sandydog1's library, I would like to chose A Boy, A Dog, And A Frog by Mercer Mayer. Sounds like the perfect book to share with my grandkids - they have such good imaginations.

Keeping with books for the young-at-heart, from my library I would recommend The Little Princess another gem from Frances Hodgson Burnett.

From DeltaQueen50's library I would choose Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks, because I love historical books (next to old mysteries) and because I trust DeltaQueen's excellent taste.

From JustJoey4's library I pick The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins, which I still haven't read even though I liked The Woman in White.

From my own library I pick Bangkok 8 by John Burdett, a mystery set in Thailand featuring Buddhist detective Sonchai Jitpleecheep. Very different part of the world, very different detective. The start of a series I've enjoyed, with a new one that's just come out, The Godfather of Kathmandu.

From jnwelch's library I pick The Wind In The Willows in keeping with A Boy, A Dog and A Frog and A Friend by Mercer Mayer and A Little Princess, all great reading to share with the kids in the family.

From my own library, I choose The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, another book that can be shared with the younger members of the family. I truly enjoyed it and would read it again. I highly recommend it for kids who enjoy a slightly spooky story, but there's nothing gory or truly frightening in it. In fact, it's a nice story about family.

From mmignano11's library I pick Spiritual Literacy: Reading the sacred in everyday life, which looks intriguing. I like reading all kinds of things about various religions and religious practices.

From my own library, I recommend Gitanjali by Rabindranath Tagore. When I first read this, less than a year ago, I was stunned that no one had ever introduced me to this in school, or recommended it to me. The reason is obvious--our educational system when I went through school was completely geared to European and Americans authors. But I've been in the graduate school system for a pretty long while. I had heard the name somewhere, but that was it. These are worship poems written by a Hindu, and what stuns me about them is that they express magnificently what I feel about God as a Christian when I am at my most tuned in to God.

Gitanjali is definitely on my reading list!

From the very interesting library of RRH, I've chosen The Cambridge Illustrated History of the Islamic World.

From my library, may I suggest The God Delusion? Fascinating.

From Sandydog1's library I will pick You Can Negotiate Anything by Herb Cohen. Thought this may come in handy.

From callmejacx library I pick The Haunted Bridge by Carolyn Keene, a five star Nancy Drew. I read a lot of Nancy Drews as a kid and with my daughter, but never this one.

From my library I suggest As She Climbed Across the Table, a strange, short, early Jonathan Lethem that I read quite a while ago but am still thinking about.

From jnwelch's library I pick The Empty Mirror: Experiences in a Japanese Zen Monastery by Janwillem Van De Wetering. I'd like to read more about Buddhism.

From my library I suggest Incognegro by Mat Johnson, a fairly serious graphic novel about racial issues.

From RRHowell's library I choose The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. I can't believe I haven't read it yet.

From my library I suggest Cathleen Schine's The Three Weissmanns of Westport a delightful modern-day retelling of "Sense and Sensibility" with surprising plot twists.

Ooh, NarratorLady, I hope you do actually read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Though I suppose it could be an anticlimax at this point. They really are fun books.

From NarratorLady’s library I’d like to choose Strangers on a train by Patricia Highsmith because I’m really interested in reading the books which Hitchcock turned in to movies.

From my own library I’d recommend a collection of modern day fables, The Celestial Omnibus and Other Stories by E.M. Forster.

The Celestial Omnibus looks really interesting, and is one by this author I've never read or even heard of.

From Porua's library I'd like to choose The Thirteen Problems by Agatha Christie. Porua has lots by Dame Agatha, and this highly rated one would be new for me.

From my library I recommend Love that Dog by Sharon Creech, a well done YA title in verse.

From several books on my TBR list from this library, I would pick The Chicago Way by Michael Harvey. Am just interested in starting this series soon.

# 260 Oh yes The Celestial Omnibus and Other Stories is very interesting. The stories kind of have a dreamlike quality about them. I really enjoyed the book. And you are not the only one who has never heard of it or read it. I’m the only one who has reviewed the book here at LT and only 100 or so members have it. But then I’ve (quite unintentionally) developed a habit of reading obscure books/ obscure writers. I seem to enjoy going against the popular tide! :-)

Stembrook has lots of great looking crime novels and I chose The Chemistry of Death by Simon Beckett. Looks good.

Keeping with crime novels I would recommend Judgement In Stone by Ruth Rendell to anyone who has yet to sample this excellent crime writer, it's one of her best.

glad to pick Dead of Winter by Rennie Airth
from DeltaQueen50's library

from my own I propose

March Violets by Philip Kerr

From grelobe's library I pick The Innocent Anthropologist: Notes from a Mud Hut by Nigel Barley, which looks interesting though I know that "innocent" and "anthropologist" don't always go together very well.''

From my own, I recommend to all and sundry The Patience Stone by Atiq Rahimi a short novel in which an Afghan woman talks to her comatose husband.

I want to go with The Patience Stone! I wrote a story once in college about a dead girl talking to her dead fiance, but I'd like to see how a professional does it.

I'm going to recommend The White Boy Shuffle about an extremely intelligent young man growing up in '90s L.A. I absolutely love that book.

MissTeacher's library has a lot of fiction I've enjoyed. I pick Kingdom of the Golden Dragon by Isabel Allende, one of hers I haven't read that MissTeacher gives 5 stars.

From mine I suggest John Berryman's The Dream Songs, a quirky and fascinating collection of connected poems.

Oh! My favorite of the series, jnwelch! It's young adult, but it reads so well.

That's easy. I'm currently reading A Brief History of Time. It's very good but still a bit dense (or maybe I'm a bit dense).

Anyway, from jnwelch's collection, I've selected Einstein for Beginners.

From mine, how about The Idiot.

Hah! LOL

This sounds like fun...but before I get started I just got one question. Does the book I pick TBR have to be one that HAS been read by the person we are picking from or just anything in their library???

First of all, 'great member name! Just pick any ol' book from the library (I guess mine, right now, but jnwelch has some cool stuff, too).

I have a ton of TBRs and those are fair game too. Anything.

Then if you'd like, recommend any book from your library. Again, if you haven't even read it, who's gonna know!

'Tis just for fun after all!

wiggles eyebrows...adjusts crooked halo
fun... I love fun

okay sandydog...I choose..drum roll

Never Cry Wolf by Farley Mowat

I don't know how to make it a link so that it will be blue like everyone elses though

aarrrgh okay I need help on the link thing to turn blue

# 274 When you click on the the Post a message a message box opens up. On the right hand side of the box there are detailed instructions with examples on how to turn the name of the book blue.

OK From Justablondemoment ( I have those on Tuesdays and Thursdays btw)

I'll choose Wicked by Gregory Maguire

From my library how about The White Boy Shuffle by Paul Beatty

Those seem cool together.

LOL aahhhh brackets and uh yah i get it now..it was ummm i guess right there in front of me..never was one for fine print...i look horrible in my reading glasses my husband fears one day i will sign the house away..anyhoot thanks porua

as for wicked...interesting choice..many wide reviews.. a hate or love it book..let me know what you think

# 277 You are welcome!

From pppaper's library I pick The Complete Anne of Green Gables Boxed Set. I loved the PBS tv stories, but have never read the books.

From mine I suggest Little Nemo in Slumberland, collecting a long ago wonderful comic strip.

From jnwelch's library, I would like to read Gilead. I've had it sitting by my bed for a while -- maybe this will inspire me to actually start it!

From my library, I recommend The Pull of the Moon by Elizabeth Berg.

From aviddiva's library I pick Detection Unlimited by Georgette Heyer. I love a good mystery and I've been meaning to try Heyer for quite some time now.

From my own library I recommend The Queen of Hearts by Wilkie Collins. It is my favorite read so far this year.

From Porua's library, I chose A Twist in the Tale by Jeffrey Archer, since I have never read anything by him.

From my own library I recommend Chocolat by Joanne Harris, one of my favorites from a couple years ago.

Hi, I'm new (to this thread, not to LT) and it looks like a great way to add books to my want-to-read list!

From alcottacre's amazing library, I pick A Scots Quair, and from my library I recommend To School Through the Fields by Alice Taylor.

From aktakukac's library I have chosen The Thinking Reed by Rebecca West.

From my library I recommend All This, and Heaven Too by Rachel Field.

From nzurisana's library I'm going to pick Don't Look Back by Karin Fossum as I want to check out more Scandinavian crime fiction and this one's already on my wishlist.

From my own library I would suggest The Guards by Ken Bruen. I've just finished it and immediately went and bought the next 3 in the series.

From AHS-Wolfy's library I'd like Shadow of the Wind, which has a lot of fans.

From mine I recommend Gold Cell by Sharon Olds, a collection of strong poems.

From jnwelch's library I would love to try The Scarlett Pimpernel. I love historical novels and I loved the old movie with Leslie Howard, so I am sure this would be a good read for me.

From my library I would like to recommend The Mutiny by Julian Rathbone. A historical novel about the Indian Mutiny that I really enjoyed when I read it last year.

From DeltaQueen50's library I choose Lights out Liverpool, a British WWII homefront story, just my cup of tea.

From my library I would recommend Ghosty Men:The Strange but True Story of the Collyer Brothers and My Uncle Arthur, New York's Greatest Hoarders by Franz Lidz. This is the non fiction account of the ficitional Homer and Langley.

From NarratorLady's library, I am intrigued by A Truth Universally Acknowledged: 33 Great Writers on Why We Read Jane Austen by Susannah Carson. I hated Jane Austen in high school, when I read Pride and Prejudice in a hurry for a book report and thought it was the dumbest thing I'd ever read in my life. Since then I have changed my opinion. It's interesting to me that my daughter, approaching Jane Austen initially via the BBC's Pride and Prejudice, developed a love for her work much more rapidly (but then, she also had parents who were delighted to have her share favorite passages, and more than willing to read our own favorites back to her.

From my own library, I'll recommend one that most are unlikely to have read, The Mahabharata: A Modern Rendering by Ramesh Menon. It's a 2 volume rendering into modern English, which is an easy read. While it's long, it gives a relatively easy access into this vast treasure trove of Indian stories.

I started really liking Jane Austen long after high school, too, and the Susannah Carson book is one I'll look for. Some day I want to read The Mahabharata, and this one sounds more accessible than others I've seen.

From RRHowell's excellent YA collection I'd like to read Haroun and the Sea of Stories by Salman Rushdie, which she gives 5 stars.

From mine I recommend The Beak of the Finch by Jonathan Weiner, a well-written report on observable evolution.

Haroun and the Sea of Stories is a book that someone gave me and I ignored for quite a while. When I finally picked it up, maybe a year ago, I wanted to jump up and down and go around recommending it to everyone who had ever read and enjoyed The Phantom Tollbooth. It's very easy reading (nothing like reading way below your age level to achieve that), but it's filled with wonderful creatures and great characters. Or that's what I think.

For any newbies jnwelch's is still the library "in play".

from jnwelch's library I choose "Death in a Strange Country" by Donna Leon because I’m always curious about how foreigner look at us, besides, it’s strange that her books are translated in more than twenty languages, but not in italian

From my own I propose "The Queen’s Gambit" by Mark Tevi

p.s. sorry touchstone seems not to work properly today

I'm gonna grab The Road to Los Angeles from grelobe's library. And I'm gonna re-recommend The White Boy Shuffle, about a young man from Los Angeles. Can you tell where I come from?

From MissTeacher’s library, I’ll pick The Plague by Albert Camus. I have been meaning to read this ever since I was in the fourth-fifth grade (I was a very precocious child).

From my own library I recommend one of my all time favorites, A Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne.

Camus at 4th/5th Grade? Not me, I read that fascist allegory at half a century of age, and I still don't have a clue.

Time to bend "the rules" a tad. From Porua, I'd read Death of a Salesman. It's one of those plays I know all about, I've seen 25% of it on film, I've read about it, but I never actually read it.

I'm sure I even have a copy of it in this bookpile somewhere...

From mine, heck, I don't know. I just read A Brief History of Time, and it was really good. It was about as dense as a black hole. Speaking of black holes, anytime Hawkins mentions them, it's time to read that passage about 4 or 5 times.

Anglophile that I am, I choose The Letters of Evelyn Waugh from Sandydog1's library.

And Anglophile that I am, I recommend Major Pettigrew's Last Stand by Helen Simonson, a first novel from a truly gifted writer.

I read A Brief History of Time way back when, and remember it just that way: having to re-read passages to try to understand his ideas. Woo. But exciting to be reading the thinking of a guy that smart.

(Had to change from a Sandydog1 selection, which would have been Heart of a Dog by Mikhail Bulgakov).

I've got Major Pettigrew ordered at the library; can't wait.

From NarratorLady's library I pick Stitches: A Memoir by David Small. I read her recent review of it and that persuaded me over my mixed feelings from other reviews I read.

From mine I recommend Bee Season by Myla Goldberg. Amazing novel.

From jnwelch's wonderful library I am most tempted by The Man Who Was Thursday by G. K. Chesterton. Years ago I read Chesterton's Father Brown Stories and remember how much I enjoyed them.

From my own library I recommend All Over but the Shoutin' by Rick Bragg which I have had for a long time but only got around to reading this past week. Such beautiful writing!

From nzurisana's library I chose An End to Suffering: The Buddha in the World by Pankaj Mishra I could use a little meditation.

From my library I'll recommend Summerland by Michael Chabon because I want warm weather to hurry up and I think he took a risk with this one and I like his stories.

From pppaper, I've selected The Year of the Whale.

From mu library, I'd suggest The Planets

from Sandydog1 I'll give a try at The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara

from my own I suggest what I'm reading now Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe

Well, I've read Things Fall Apart (in fact, I teach from it) so I'll give that one a miss for now.

But I haven't read Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency by Douglas Adams so I think it would be fun to give that a try from grelobe's library, and see whether the appreciation that I eventually developed for The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy was a fluke, or whether I actually have learned to appreciate this kind of humor.

From my own library, I recommend Jayber Crow by Wendell Berry. This is the life of an old fashioned barber in the rural community that Berry's novels usually chronicle. It's a gently sad story, a romance that does not fit into standard patterns.

From RRHowell's library I have chosen Briar Roseby Jane Yolen.

From my own library I would like to recommend Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell. Both my husband and I found the book thought provoking in terms of our own lives and how lucky we were to have been in just the right place at the right time.

From Nzurisana's library I have chosen Where The Heart Is by Billie Letts. It sounds like just the simple heart-felt story I am in the mood for.

Keeping with middle America, I would recommend The Virgin of Small Plains by Nancy Pickard from my library. A murder mystery unraveling in a small town in Oklahoma.

It's like being a kid in a candy store. From DeltaQueen's library I'll choose Tainted Blood by Arnaldur Indridason. I believe this has since become more famous under its new title of Jar City. It's been on my wishlist for a while but just never got round to picking it up.

From my own I'd suggest I'm Not Scared by Niccolo Ammaniti. A suspenseful story written from the perspective of a 9 year old boy who uncovers a secret that he would've been better off not knowing.

Among many other categories, AHS-Wolfy has lots of good books that make you laugh. I'll try Mort by Terry Pratchett, which others have said is a pretty good place to start with him.

From mine I recommend The Arrival by Shaun Tan, a wordless drawn story about the immigrant experience.

From jnwelch’s library I’ll choose The Hours by Michael Cunningham.

From my own library I’d recommend Far from the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy.

Not a doubt in my mind, I have to pick The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I bought it a while ago. It has to be sitting here somewhere. Hmmm If I find it I will be sure to read it.

from callmejacx my pick is Great Expectations by Charles Dickens because , shame on me, I've never read anything of him.

from my own I propose The Translator: A Tribesman's Memoir of Darfour by Daoud Hari because economically speaking we are in bad waters, but there are always someone, a good deal worse off than us

From grelobe's library I would choose the Complete Greek Myths by Robert Graves. I am interested in mythology and knows bits and pieces about several world mythologies, but I don't know a huge amount about any of them and occasionally confuse the Greek and Roman tales, so would love to read this and improve my knowledge.

From my own library, I would offer up the book I am currently reading - a strange but fairly engrossing story - Cold Skin by Albert Sanchez Pinol. If I had to describe it, I would probably put it at a cross between Robinson Crusoe and Legacy of Heorot by Larry Niven.

From Carrotlady's library I have chosen Desperate Remedies by Thomas Hardy. I have always loved Hardy but this is a title I do not know.

From my library I recommend West with the Night by Beryl Markham who was a most fascinating woman.

From nzurisana's library I choose Sister of my Heart by Chitra Divakaruni. I enjoyed her book Mistress of Spices, and I am interested in books about India and women's deep friendships.

From my library I recommend The Road From Coorain by Kill Ker Conway, another fascinating woman.

The Road from Coorain sounds good. Maybe aviddiva will let me pick one more, this time from her wonderful collection of fiction: Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson. I liked Gilead a lot, and would like to read more of her work.

From mine, I recommend Milan Kundera's Book of Laughter and Forgetting, which makes one appreciate that much more being alive and free.

I hope Joe doesn't mind all the fingerprints I left while pawing through his books!
I decided I would like to read his highly rated Mr. Midshipman Hornblower by C.S. Forester. I haven't read any of the Hornblower books yet and I really, really loved the Patrick O'Brian British Navy Series.

From my library I would like to recommend Dead Simple by Peter James, I found it one of those thrillers I just couldn't put down. Edge-of-your-seat suspense.

From DeltaQueen's library I choose Brat Farrar by Josephine Tey. I've read a lot about this on LT and since I haven't yet read anything by Tey, it seems a good place to start.

From my library I recommend Jane Gardam's Old Filth. This is an author I've just discovered and having loved this and its sequel The Man in the Wooden Hat, I'm delighted that she has written so many books.

Some day I'm going to try Sick Puppy, from NarratorLady's library.

I'll pass on a personal library suggestion for now. I've made so many!

I'll borrow Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe from Sandydog1's library.

From mine I'll recommend Little Nemo in Slumberland by Winsor McCay, a captivating collection of comic strips from the early 20th century.

From jnwelch's library I'll take Pompeii: A Novel by Robert Harris. Actually, I have it, and it's on my TBR list, but I never seem to get to it.

From my library I'd recommend Other Gods: The Averillan Chronicles by Barbara Reichmuth Geisler.

From porlockit's library, I'd like to read The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

As for mine, I'd recommend A Confederacy of Dunces. It's a riot.

A Confederacy of Dunces is one of the funniest novels of all time.

From poetontheone's other favorites, I chose Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life

From my library, I'd suggest Lost on Planet China, a fun travel diversion.

It's always a treat to look through Sandydog's library. This time I have chosen Baghdad without a Map and Other Misadventures by Tony Horwitz.

From my library I recommend The Space Between Us by Thrity Umrigar.

times ago I too chose Baghdad Without a Map and other Misadventures from Sandydog1's and I wasn't disappointed at all, quite the other way round

from nzurisana I pick Tribe That Lost Its Head by Nicholas Monsarrat

I propose: Arabian Sands by Wilfred Thesiger
(I seem to remember that also this one comes from Sandydog1's library

From grelobe's library I selected Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago 1918-1956 Parts I-II. Though I have the book, it remains one of my 'must read' books (hasn't everyone else already read it?).

Whoah. Now THAT's a library. From walkonmyearth's massive collection, I'll start with Misquoting Jesus: the story behind who changed the Bible and why.

As for me, I am still on a travel kick. I'd suggest Blue Latitudes.

I liked Sandydog1's latest addition of The City & The City by China Mieville. It looks good.

I'll add A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole from my library

I'm such a lover of books of books, that I've got to jump right back in, in order to grab 501 Great Writers: A Comprehensive Guide to the Giants of Literature, from the collection of pppaper. It goes into my to-hunt-down-and-read pile.

Confederacy of Dunces had been recommended many times here, including by me. I'll recommend it also, and again. It is that good.

It is that good, indeed.

From Sandydog1's library I'm happy to borrow Shakespeare's Words: A Glossary and Language Companion by David Crystal.

From mine I'll offer Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict and Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict by Laura Viera Rigler, time-traveling light fun for fans of JA.

From Jnwelch's library...The Forgotten Garden
by Kate Morton

From mine, the book I just finished Nothing is Impossible by Christopher Reeves.

callmejacx, I really need to check out The Prophet.

From mine, I will recommend {Labyrinths by Jorge Luis Borges. It will appeal to science fiction fans as well as those who love the classics. Also, if you like magical realism like Marquez it starts there. Borges' stories are a rewarding mental workout.

I keep looking at my thin copy of Labyrinths, knowing I will get to it sooner or later.

But for now, from the poet, I've selected 9-11.

Now for something a bit lighter. As for me, I'm embroiled in issues at work. So I just have to recommend Rivethead. It's a 1980s memoir of miserable self-fulfilling prophesy and enormous feats of goofing off at work. Hilarious.

I would really like to read The Great Escape by Paul Brickhill from Sandydog's library, I can't believe I haven't read it yet! Keeping with the theme of WW II, I would like to recommend Pride Runs Deep by R. Cameron Cooke, a submarine adventure set in the Pacific during WW II. I thought it was a super read.

From DQ50's library, I'd probably pick up Death of a Red Heroine by Qiu Xiaolong. I enjoy most of the mysteries I've read from the Soho Crime series. From my library, a historical mystery that I've recently read an enjoyed: The Fourth Plague by Edgar Wallace. Politics, crime, and secret societies--spreading from Italy to England.

Delta, I read The Great Escape many years ago and it is still with me. It is indeed an amazing book. The heavily fictionalized movie (with Attenborough, McQueen, Garner, Bronson, et multi al) was one of my favorites.

It's been a week already! From chritiqc's library, I've chosen Oh What a Paradise it Seems.

I'd suggest The End of Oil, from mine.

From Sandydog1's library I pick The Song of the Dodo by David Quammen.

From mine I recommend Major Pettigrew's Last Stand by Helen Simonson, a new favorite.

I'm taking a note from JN's library and may actually read Islandia by Austin Tappan Wright, which has languished on my shelf for 15 or 20 years.
I think that I will choose Gilead by Marilynne Robinson from my own library since it's sitting here at the top of Mt. Bookpile waiting for me to read it too.

From LizzieD's library I have chosen Q's Legacy remembering how much I enjoyed Helene Hanff's 84 Charing Cross Road.

From my library I would like to recommend I am the Messenger by Markus Zusak which I just finished reading and throughly enjoyed

From nzurisana's library I chose Don't Look Back by Karin Fossum. I am really into this series, it went right on my TBR pile.

From my library I'll pick The Hive Detectives:Chronicle of a Honey Bee Catastrophe by Loree Griffin Aother type of mystery...

Paper Towns by John Green looks like a good one from pppaper's library; I liked that author's An Abundance of Katherines.

From mine I'll recommend Milan Kundera's The Book of Laughter and Forgetting.

Buddha: A Story of Enlightenment looks interesting. I've been meaning to read something by Deepak Chopra

From Chad's library, I'd be interested in Everything That Rises Must Converge (by Flannery O'Connor). I've only read one of her books and have been meaning to get to more.

Along the same feel, from my library, I'd recommend The Sound and the Fury by Faulkner.

From Christina's library, I'd check out West with the Night.

I'll suggest from mine, The Vendor of Sweets.

from bumenot 's library I pick A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller

from my own I propose The Brotherhood of the Grape by John Fante, a beautiful and bittersweet story of family obligations, filled with plenty of drunken fun and despair, delicate and intimate moments between a father and son, and the wise, carefree, key-to-life advice and observations of the earlier generations

I haven't been participating in this post for only one reason. My wish list gets out of hand.

Now I have to go and find Long Way Gone Memoirs of a Boy Soldier by Ishmael Beah. It never ends. It sounds too good to pass up. Although LT is saying I won't like it I would like to prove them wrong.

344 message is a bit too long so I took it apon myself to continue the thread here....
http://www.librarything.com/topic/93344&newpost=1#lastmsg

See you there.
