Message: [QUOTE="BfromCT, post: 3529980, member: 10542"] I normally do not read off-topic threads, but this new one on reading books whetted my appetite. First of all, let me eliminate Harry Potter and the Lord of the Rings series because they will rightfully be on many lists. I have read both on multiple occasions. Instead, the focus will be on other titles. With regard to mystery stories, always enjoyable recreation, any novel by Dorothy Sayers is worth multiple examinations, but my favorite is [I]The Nine Taylors.[/I]” Another great read is Anthony Berkeley, [I]The Poisoned Chocolates Case[/I].” Other fictional works that I have read multiple times are: Nordoff and Hall, [I]Mutiny on the Bounty[/I]; Walter D. Edmonds, [I]Drums Along the Mohawk[/I]; C. S. Forester, [I]Captain Horatio [/I]Hornblower; Elizabeth Kostova, [I]The Historian[/I], an excellent novel on the Dracula theme; and Iaian Pears, [I]An Instance of the Fingerpost[/I], a murder of an Oxford Don in the 1660s told from four different perspectives[I]. [/I] For nonfiction, I have enjoyed reading on multiple occasions Catherine Bailey, [I]The Secret Rooms[/I]; George Dangerfield, [I]The Strange Death of Liberal England[/I]; Alistair Horne, [I]To Lose and Battle[/I]; Robert K. Massie, [I]Dreadnought[/I]; and Roy F. Nichols, [I]The Disruption of American Democracy[/I]; and the classic Barbara Tuchman, [I]The Guns of August[/I]. The first is focused on the disappearance from an archives of letters relating to a member of the British nobility, Dangerfield on events in Great Britain from 1906-14, [I]Too Lose a Battle[/I] on France between the wars, while the Nichols book studies the collapse of the Democratic Party between 1856 and 1860. All are extremely well written, enjoyable, and inform the reader about important historical eras. [/QUOTE]
