Message: [QUOTE="visitingcock, post: 3534205, member: 6872"] [I]Entire Master & Commander[/I] series by Patrick O'Brian. Have read them all at least twice, some thrice. [I]Lord of the Rings[/I] Trilogy [I]Dune[/I] Trilogy Several John LeCarre cold war spy novels. The George Smiley ones including [I]Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy[/I]. (loved the BBC mini series. hated the movie). First Smiley novella[I], Call for the Dead, [/I] at least three times. Lost interest in LeCarre after the Wall fell. [I]Big Sleep[/I], Raymond Chandler [I]The Roman Revolution[/I], Sir Ronald Syme. twice fully re-read, and referenced hundred of times. First copy fell apart. [I]A Tale of Two Cities, [/I] Dickens. [I]Pride and Prejudice, [/I]Jane Austin (love the dialogue) [I]A Confederacy of Dunces. [/I]John Kennedy O'Toole [I]Riki Tiki Tavi [/I] and [I]Jungle Book, [/I]Kipling. Heck, I think I read them twice before I was 12. My parents probably read them to me three or four times as a child before I could read them myself. [I]Wind & the Willows[/I], Kenneth Graham[I]e, [/I]same thing but I haven't re-read it as an adult. Might do it. Man, I loved it as a child. [I]Illiad [/I]and [I]Odyssey, [/I]Homer - different translations. One in older English and one in modern American. OMG. how did I leave off Wodehouse? Thanks Fang. [/QUOTE]
