Reading fiction and non-fiction is not mutually exclusive - both serve different and over-lapping purposes.

I take it you don't watch (fictional) Films and TV shows?

The Hunger Games! I just finished reading the first book and it is amazing! Touching, thought-provoking, deep, and yes, very action packed and thrilling.

Every step of the way I questioned my own humanity and morals... I came to love the characters.

Amazing books, I second this reccomendation :biggrin:

The characters are brilliant.

aahhh loved that series!!
it was really scary at times and really gives you a new point of view, but the plot is AMAZING too
hopefully the film theyre gonna make wont ruin it...

and dont know if these are too babyish, but i also loved the chronicles of ancient darkness, mortal engines, and the power of five...

Three of my favourite authors! I have so many of Jodi Picoult's books and I just keep re-reading them, I always cry through My Sister's Keeper.

And I agree, The Godfather book is so much better than the film! So glad I read it before watching the film!

Have you read Digital Fortress by Dan Brown? I actually preferred it to The Da Vinci Code.

the one annoying thing about TSR - i dont get emails to let me know i was quoted :tongue:

Digital Fortress is on my books to read list as soon as my exams are finished next friday. :smile:

i've actually made a list of books i must read and movies i must see :smile:

one day when i get my own home...i'm converting a room in to my own library :tongue:

j.picoult will have her own dedicated shelf :biggrin:

The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky.

It's not too long or heavy going, just a nice coming of age novel... and it's being made into a film with Emma Watson in!

Dean Koontz. It's not always crime, but it is awesome :smile:

not crime, but robyn young has just done a trilogy based on the crusades, although there is a lot of crime in it. and my fav is magician by raymond e. feist. not dissimilar to lord of the rings, but far better

Im looking for inspiration,something deep, something that I will learn from. Last Book I read was The Secret by Rhonda Byron. Can be fiction, philosophical,anything really,anything you felt inspired by, that deeply touched you.
