Hi!,

DWSA

Cool!

I like classics like: the catcher in the rye by J.D. Salinger (my fav book and author for classics btw), but I always look up to Stephen King, I think he can surprise all of us. Currently am reading to kill a mocking bird by harper lee.

JK Rowlings is also fantastic, I couldn't put them all down. Very difficult not to lolol.

I have seen dracula the movie, but haven't read the book yet.

I read less now, as am busy, but still love reading books!

alicesoster

I never read books by Stephen King, but I want to read!
In this moment of my life, i'm studying a lot and i don't have time for read :(
You have interest for read a brazilian book?

DWSA

The great thing about Mr. Stephen King's books is that some of them are already can be seen in movies, or tv series. Haven, was taken from one of his novels: The Colorado Kid, now in TV Series. Maybe you can look it up in Youtube ? Movies such as; IT, Carrie (there is a remake for this one, maybe you've seen it, it was out last year), Christine, The Pet cemetery, dreamcatcher, etc were filmed based from his novels. If you don't have time to read it, you can watch them lolol

I can't read Portuguese, but I know Paulo Coelho. I read " The Alchemist" , and I think it was beautiful, can see so many inspirations and courage in there :). It's one of my fav too.

Best wishes,

Hello Alice,  :)

I like Gulliver's Travels, Robinson Crusoe and Don Quixote.  I have read them many times and always discover new ideas from them.
I like everything written by Jules Verne and Gabriel Garcia Marques.  :top:

And one more thing.

I like action/adventure books and have been a Wilbur Smith fan for many years, I find his books have everything, adventure, action, love, tragedy, also insight into the political and business arena. His books mainly centre around South Africa, but from very early times 1700 up to modern times.

What books, authors do you like?

Cheers
Scott

Hello Alice,   :)
I am sorry, I never heard of him.
I also discovered a secret: instead of keeping on reading books, it's better to switch to writing books ...  :D
And another secret about books: instead of writing fiction books, it's better to write textbooks from which people with inquisitive minds could learn.
Yes, I discovered about myself that I could save the world ... :top:

Hi Sandrin,  :)
It seems you must start making more time for something good (like reading books) and reduce the daily noise which holds you back from doing something good ...  :D

I just finished reading TM 31-210 DOA Technical Manual Improvised Munitions Handbook.  It was a real page turner.
