Introduction
Some of the best books I have read over the years...
The Histories by Herodotus
A fascinating & well written book written around 440 BC by the historian Herodotus.
Angels and Demons by Dan Brown
Really good read, fun.
The Memoirs of Cleopatra by Margaret George
Just finished this, really long, detailed, historically accurate account of Cleopatra. Historical fiction.
The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory
Looooved it. Couldn't put it down.
The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
I've read this book a few times now, really significant to me, and many others. Would def recommend it!
On the Road by Jack Kerouac
Classic. Must read.
Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole
Love this one. Haven't read it in quite some time, should read it again. Quirky & well written.
Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden
I really enjoyed this book, touching & really interesting.
Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
I still have my dad's old copy from when he was in school, love this book, will always be one of my favorites. A definite classic.
Siddhartha by Herman Hesse
Herman Hesse is an amazing writer, I love his books, this one in particular.
Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe
One of my favorite books from school.
Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer
I loved this book but it still freaks me out a bit when I think about it, chilling tale!
Bel Canto by Ann Patchett
What a book, really enjoyed it. Interesting plot line.
Over the Edge of the World: Magellan's Terrifying Circumnavigation of the Globe by Laurence Bergreen
Based on logs written throughout the journey and the accounts given by the surviving sailors after returning home. Really fascinating!
Great list, it will go into my OML notebook. Cleopatra by Margaret George is a good call. I will read it again some day, when I have a lot of time. I've read all of Margaret George's books and they are all good.
I liked Angels and Demons much better than Da Vinci Code, another good call. 5 stars from me - thanks.
