    I loved reading William Bernhardt books.
    I love reading about courtroom antics kasi. Hehehe.
    William Bernhardt is just as great as John Grisham. Go read one of his books and you'll find out. He's even funnier than Grisham, if that's possible.

    the last great book i read was THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BEING. the words just seem to flow, and the insights deep and philosophical. i like his concept of "poetic memory", his use of metaphors, his explanation for womanizing etc etc. it's a must-read!

    I'm a Stephen King freak so I love all his books. The Harry Potter books are also addicting--can't wait for the 4th book! I've recently finished Angela's Ashes and it's unbelievable how Frank McCourt was able to condense his early years into a great novel! Also can't wait to read his next installment, 'Tis. I'm waiting to get my hands on Hannibal. Of course it's better to read the book before you see the movie...


    Other books I like:
    <UL TYPE=SQUARE>
    <LI>The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis
    <LI>The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
    <LI>Lord of the Flies by William Golding
    <LI>Watership Down by Richard Adams
    <LI>A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
    </UL>

    For the sappy (?) stuff, The Bridges of Madison County is one beautiful love story, too sad the movie didn't deliver anywhere near the novel.

    As juve_grrrl10 said, Watership Down is really good. A bunch of talking rabbits, yes, but good nonetheless. A classic story.

    And yes, Harry Potter.

    for those who are seeking the real God, read "Conversations with God 1". that's my personal bible.

    Finished my Bag of Bones, and it was a good book (and it's my first Stephen King book). I especially loved the final 4 chapters. I bet you wouldn't know what everything is all about until you reach the "action" part.

    Bag of Bones was supposedly Stephen King's last novel, but he was able to make another by using a current short novel and combining it with his other short novels and short stories. The result: Hearts In Atlantis. This would be one of the next in my read list.

    I finished Wilbur Smith's River God and The Seventh Scroll last week. The other day I did Knowledge of Angels, a philosophical discussion on the (non)existence of God, which we were required to read for our Philosophy class. Last night I finished Sidney Sheldon's The Master of the Game, a not-so-good book actually, but fun to read.

    The books I read and enjoyed this past month include:

    Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom
    The Pilot's Wife by Anita Shreve

    Both are quite good but I would recommend Tuesdays with Morrie more.

    actually, this is more of a list of my fave books of all time. given na yung bible, which i personally think is timeless. although i havent read much of it : )

    1. chronicles or narnia by cs lewis
    -its like a fantasy/fairy tale book for children but the insight is great for anyone. alegory sya about christianity...i think.

    2. star wars books by timothy zahn
    -his own trilogy (heir to the empire, dark force rising, last command) were the ONLY star wars novels that captured the essence of the original trilogy. his present duology (spectre of the past, vision of the future) continue the brilliant work of this hugo awardee.

    3. federation by judith and garfield reeves-stevens
    -its actually a star trek book that bridges generations of star trek history. a classic for the critical star trek fan.

    4. noble house, tai pan and shogun by james clavell
    unique insight into how the world works from an asian-european perspective. its an epic din that spans generations

    Hey, juve_grrrl10, Watership Down is great! If you try R. Adam's later books though (Traveller - it's about the American civil war as told by Robert E. Lee's horse), you'll be a little disappointed.

    chronicles of narnia by cs lewis
    and i've read all of douglas coupland's books, all of them are highly recommended (well maybe not all, there's Polaroids From The Dead that I can't seem to make heads or tails of, maybe you guys can help me)

    the bridges of madison county. sappy but wonderfully romantic. the movie's a bore but the book is good. (dont read other robert james waller books! they're bad.)

    she's come undone by wally lamb - it's a "talking to you" book. it's surprising because a guy wrote it and it tells the story of a girl named dolores.

    paula by isabel allende - very historical yet very loving.

    im trying to read dr. zhivago by boris pasternak (the one made into a movie) has anyone read it?

    and of course, the harry potter series. haven't read anything by roald dahl but i've sure seen the movies that were inspired by his books; james and the giant peach (the animation) and mathilda (directed and starred by danny de vito)

    Just finished The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera. It was a good read but a little on the pessimistic side. Still, I like it a lot. It's very philosophical and at the same time it offers a beautiful plot as a backdrop of the author's ideas.

    In a world where everything happens but once...

    If you have time, read it.
