I'm an omnivorous reader, but I'm especially fond of short stories (good for short attention span). I recommend Alice Munro for those.

I am seriously into James Rollings Sigma Force series at the moment, but am currently reading Dan Brown's new book "The Lost Symbol". That will probably give you an idea of the type of genre I like

I was impressed by Orson Scott Cards' Ender trilogy and his Lives of Alvin the Maker (SF-phantasy)

I graduated in Dutch language, literature and communications, so I do have a few Dutch favorites I won't bore you with.

Harry Potter


I just found Harry Potter and Philosophy (If Aristotle Ran Hogwarts) It is Not by JK Rowling, but by David Bagget and Shawn E Klein.
I also have Kluge, Music and the Mind and stuff like that.
I have read an autobiography of Ian (Mac) MacLagan, and Tina Turner.
My guilty readings are the text books for school.
The philosophy book is interesting, and I was thinking it might be a thread all its own.

I love anything by Terry Pratchett and Lesley Pearse. Very different genre's, i know!

But my favourite set of books ever is Juliet Marrillier's Sevenwaters Trilogy. I've read and reread them all countless times.

Mind you, i also read anything i can get my hands on. Books about the world, stars, natural phenomena, all sorts of factual and world interest books.

Books about animals and stuff too, and i think i still have quite a few of my vet science books. Oh yeah, and MANY on different religions and spiritialism.

I have an interesting and eclectic library at home. I like to learn about anything and everything, but i also like my fiction.

The Celestine Prophecy


My all time favorite book is "The Celestine Prophecy" written by James Redfield. There's a few sequels but nothing like the 1st. It's actually a book that helps you to become more aware of what's going on around you. It's not true, but definitely a good one. I still use most of what I learned from this book and I loved it so much I actually did a college paper on it and bought about 50 copies for family and friends. Only a few actually read it and those that did LOVED IT and couldn't put it down. I was actually racing home to read it. It talks about 9 insights into life (LOVE THEM ALL!!!) and they all unfold one by one through a wild journey the author takes you on. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!
