my first guild post!
I highly recommend the Earth's children series by Jean Auel. Several novels about the erotic adventures of cavepeople! Actually it's supposed to be just about the cavepeople, but they do have sex a lot.
The books in it are Clan of the Cave Bear, Valley of the Horses, The Mammoth Hunters, Plains of Passage, and Shelters of Stone.

Welcome to the guild! *nodds* Ya, I've never read Clan of the Cave Bear, but it is -always- getting checked out at the library. Thanks for the heads up about the sex thing...I'll be sure to read around that junk. ^.^ (one should never drop a good book because it has a little bit of junk in it and that junk can easily be skipped. ^.^)

Banditman.EXE Are they very detailed sex scenes? If they are i'll skip them otherwise all just read through it. Once I petitioned in my library that books with sex sceans in it should be rated, or books with exsesive language....you know, so a child ahead of her reading level could see if it was "okay" to read a book, and not be exposed to things ahead of their age, or against their morals. I mean, they do it with movies, why not books? A lot of books can get very descriptive, and a lot of times, it's not even close to related to the story line. *shakes head* I got shot down. Badly, but I think it makes sence! I was a college reading level by 6th grade, and I read a lot of stuff I wouldn't want my sister reading! Does anyone agree with my idea?

Alright! I'm here, I got time, and I feel like writing! I guess I'll recomend some books. ^.^
The best book I've read recently is The China Garden. Don't let the name fool you, it's nothing to do with dishes or the orient, it has to do with europian pysicics and ancient powers, brought together in a destiny with two young people. The main character's mother ran from duty and entered a forbidden marrage, in wich the main character was born. But little did she know that she could never excape her destiny...that her fate would live on in her daughter. Through a series of creepy encounters, midnight vissions, and the walking of ancient steps, she finds her place among people who've known her since before she was born.
What I loved most about this book was that, while it was totaly centered around anceint legends and powers and such, it still remained in the real world, and they did a good job historically, and with blending the 2 worlds together.
What I didn't like was...um...I didn't really find anything that I hated.
I give this book a 9 out of 10!
(can you tell I do this for a liveing? xd )

Banditman.EXE "Of mice and men" was like a snuff film... book... um yeah. It was a retarded black guy that kept accidentaly killing things. Personally I dislike Steinbeck, but Of Mice and Men was really better than it seems at first if you consider that it was written about ideas from the Great Depression. He is basically saying in the book that the American dream had died. George and his friend wants to have their own farm or whatever, but they fail. Their dream was only a lie. Steinbeck was really writting about how people lost faith in America during the depression.

Geba_00 Banditman.EXE The hobbit was short but good. Ooo...yes! A definit must read! I can't remember...I know it takes place before the LOTR, but it was writen afterwards, wasn't it? *frowns* I"m a librarian and I don't know...sad, hu? Tolkein wrote all of his notes and early ideas for Middle Earth during the same time period. He finalized the main trilogy and published it first. Once it met with success he finalized the Hobbit.

I am an avid reader, I read a minimum of three books a week when I am not too bogged down with classwork. I read all genres, including texts in other languages (except for romance novels, well, I usually try to stay away from them anyway, although the few that Piers Anthony has written are good). There are so many good books out there it is difficult to choose among them for recommendation. I think that the first book that I would recommend is Plato's Republic. This is a purely philosophical work that revolutionized the use of reason. This is an easy read; Plato presents all of his ideas through conversation between a few people. In this book, Plato essentially sets out to prove once and for all what justice really is, and to set forth his idea of the perfect society. Although not a book for those who don't enjoy a serious reading now in then, it is incredibly insightful. Give this one a try if you have the time. If you do try to read it, or have before and have any questions about it, feel free to pm me!

Well, it's been all of five minutes, and time for another recommendation! This time I would like to suggest a much more relaxed reading: Douglass Adam's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. This is one of my favorite series. It is a satyr of pretty much everything. It makes fun of lawyers, doctors, telephone sanitizers, thinkers, loosers, robots, the meaning of life, and everything else. The humor is a bit British, but when is that ever a bad thing? Monty Python anyone? Anywho, the story starts off when the Earth is destroyed to make way for an interstellar by-pass. Cool, huh? Earth-man Arthur Dent, who narrowly escapes, then gets caught up in a search for the meaning of life, the universe, and everything. Have you ever heard anyone say that the meaning of life is 42? Well it came from these books. This series was on the best selling list in England for longer than just about any other. It already exists in eight forms, including radio broadcasts, television specials, and a poorly made movie (that's ok, because a new movie is coming out this summer). If you are into science fiction and comedy, this series is for you.

My recommendation would be the Harry Potter series. I love the way JK Rowling makes a whole other world come to life. I've also seen the movies & I love the first two. But, not the third. It didn't really follow the storyline from the book though.

Yeah, Dr. Seuss is great. My favorite was always The Lorax. This book is why I am so environmentally aware. So, does anyone else have any favs?
