Brave new world...........Aldous Huxley
1984...........George Orwell
The Stand.............Stephen Kings best........

we read looking for alibrandi in english it's alright yea. sister hood movie is good.

The movie for Looking For Alibrandi is great too. The Sisterhood Of The Travelling Pants Book is better than the movie, in my opinion. Directors/Writers tend to leave a lot out when it comes to basing a movie on a book.
The Soccer Coach is hot in the movie, don't you think? I have a PE teacher that looks exactly like him at school. =P

Really? Cool
The movie made me cry!
Looking for alibrandi book is WAy better than movie.. same with harry potter books

'Round the Bend,' by Nevil Shute. I finished reading and immediately started re-reading it. I enjoyed it that much. Mind you, i haven't read it since then either. I don't want to spoil the memories

id have to say...errrr.....the Anne of Green Gables books (all .

ohh and Pride and Prejudice, and I Capture the Castle.

(as you may well have presumed i like 19th and 20th century literature.)

Mine would have to be

'My Place' by Sally Morgan, on growing up as an aborginal girl.
Great.

I don't read a lot of novels, although in year 11 we had to read Looking for Alibrandi and I quite liked it. The movie was far too incongruent for its own good though. If I hadn't read the book, I don't think I would have been able to comprehend it.

I've never been able to get into Alibrandi.  I liked 'My Place' and this other book we had to read for school-it was about this girl (i think in Russia) who hides a soldier in her house.

If you havn't read 'The Five People You Meet In Heaven', you should.  I forget the author's name, he also wrote 'Tuesday's with Morrie' which is also good.  It gives you a real insight as to how old people live and think.

Author's name is Mitch Albom,
(here is quote from book)
"Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. They move away. The moments that used to define them—a mother’s approval, a father’s nod—are covered by moments of their own accomplishments. It is not until much later, as the skin sags and the heart weakens, that children understand; their stories, and all their accomplishments, sit atop the stories of their mothers and fathers, stones upon stones, beneath the waters of their lives." (p. 126)

Sad but true, I think!

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

I read this book at least once a year and have never grown tired of it

Quoted from vecordious

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Le Petit Prince.  Wow, that sends me back a few years.

I have so many favourite books but Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary is one I read at least once a year. Each time a read it I discover something new and fresh.

I read 'Lady Chatterley's Lover' when I was around 14-15 and didn't quite grasp what it all meant. I have read a few of his other works as well. I prefer my literature non-fiction or History based Fantasy. About to get into Colleen McCullough for some History based Fiction/fantasy.

I have finally remembered the title of a book I think you might like Suzi, 'The Grotto' by Melbourne born author Coral Lansbury.  Here's something out of Publishers Weekly on it:

Fascinating bits of mythology and history are woven into this well-crafted novel set during the 1920s and '30s amid the crumbling ruins of Sicily's ancient hill towns and on the rude, bustling frontier of Australia. Born to English and Sicilian parents whose love for each other shuts out the world, Gwen Harcourt di Marineo saves her own adoration for her best friend Bessie, an English girl who summers in Sicily. Gwen is barely touched by her mother's death, but the loss of Bessie nearly crushes her. Forced to leave Sicily, she embarks for Australia, where she re-creates herself as a hotelier of distinction, an enigmatic model and the promoter of her horribly narcissistic cousin Dolphi, star of vaudeville and radio. Despite these rebirths, the superstitions and maledictions of Sicily hang 'round her shoulders like a heavy cloak. Love eludes Gwen for the most part; unfortunately, shrill hysteria is the passion she and other characters often share. Lansbury's clever, vivid imagery and evocation of brooding gothic atmosphere do much to keep the narrative engrossing.

Thank you Anais, I will chase the book up/down

Magician - Raymond E Feist (im a fantasy nut)
