Have You Read This One Yet?

Posted by: Lomo on 10 January 2005

Recently the ABC in Australia conducted a ballot to come up with " your favourite book"
Resuts 1. Lord of The Rings 2. The Bible
3. Pride and Prejudice
Now a favourite book to me is one you read again and again and never tire of.
So here are my three:
The Caine Mutiny by Herman Wouk.
Dracula by Bram Stoker
Shannon's Way by A.J.Cronin.
All deserve to be read and reread as they ....
Fully capture the essence of the story being told.
They have great characters, both heroes and villians
and they don't take a week to read.
Good Luck with your list.

Luckily I have a reserve list up my sleeve for the young at heart:
How about The Wind in the Willows.. Kenneth Graham
Peter Pan... The original Play .. J.M Barrie
Aaand. Biggles Flies North, South, East And West and everywhere else in between.... Capt W.E. Johns.
Doesn't that lot stir the 'British Spirit'
Memo: Must check if Biggles dropped bombs.
