Reading novels and writing them

Hmm... well, my favorite book of all time has to be Anthem by Ayn Rand. I normally carry a copy on my person. (Dork much Nick?)

I love Ayn Rand. Atlas Shrugged is one of my favorites!! I need to read that again.


I also suggest Flowers for Algernon and Bastard out of Carolina.

I'm currently reading Steve Berry's The Templar Legacy. I haven't finished it so I can't recommend it. However, his three other novels are quite good if you like intrigue/adventure reading.

As for recommendations, umm that would take more room than is available here.

• I can suggest: Civilization (Lord Kenneth Clark) This was seialized for PBS TV way back in the'60s.
• Memoirs of the Second World War (Winston S. Churchill, who said, "I know history will be kind to me because I intend to write it!)
• The Decline And Fall of the Roman Church (Malachi Martin)Published in the 80s, this was a highly controversial book.
• How To Be A Gentleman ( John Briggs)
• Letters of a Nation: A Collection of Extraordainary American Letters (Edited by Andrew Carrol)
• Lost Friendships: A Memoir of Truman Caopte, Tennessee Williams, and Others (Donald Windham)

All excellent reading.
Of course I wouldn't mind if anyone ran out and bought one of my books!
