Up for suggestions....

What is your favorite piece of classic literature? And why?

What is your favorite book in general (non-classic) and why?

What band or singer should I check out? I am up for some new music.

What is the most memorable classic film that you have seen? And why?

What is the most entertaining movie (current) that you suggest I rent or go see?

I'll start with these:

1) The Power of One - Bryce Courtenay
2) Fraternity of the Stone - David Morrell
3) Brotherhood of the Rose - David Morrell
4) Covenant of the Flame - David Morrell
5) anything written by Patricia Cornwell
6) Different Seasons - Stephen King (an anthology containing the stories from which the movies "Shawshank Redemptioin" and "Stand By Me" were made)
7) The Chronicles of Narnia - C.S. Lewis
8) A Wrinkle In Time - Madeleine L'Engle
9) A Swiftly Tilting Planet - Madeleine L'Engle
10) Boy's Life - Robert McCammon

And these are just off the top of my head - books that I'd love to own so I can read again and again.

Someday, I'll have a library *sigh*.

Great suggestions. The only one out of that list that I've read is Different Seasons, which is one of my favorite Stephen King books. I own The Chronicles of Narnia, but I've never managed to read them. I love the way C.S. Lewis writes, so I probably will enjoy them when I get around to it.

I have had five people in the last three days tell me to read The Power of One. I think it's a sign...

It's a sign!

Seriously, that may be the best damn book I've ever read.

I wouldn't swear on it, as I am incapable of picking just one. But that one's close. It's...peerless.
