my favorite authors/books
My favorite authors:

My career public health: Richard Preston: the hot zone, the coming plague (need to read this again)

Romance: Danielle Steele…..I haven’t been reading for a bit…so who knows…when I get back into it after April 25^th , we’ll see if anyone tops her as my favorite romance author

Inspirational: Joel Osteen, I have to also checkout TD jakes, but haven’t had time to get into anyone else yet

Ancient and medieval time favorite books/authors- my favorites: well I like Apuleius (although I read only one book-the Golden Ass- the real author is believed to be from Africa and I guess using a fictitious name??)


Things fall apart- Chinua Achebe-need to read it again


The Shakespeare series, the comedies, the tragedies etc
Twelfth Night, Macbeth, Hamlet,


Chaucer Geoffrey Canterbury tales: always have a copy of this…can’t get tired reading the stories….

so this a great idea to start the bookclub...I can catch up from your names....my sister loves shidney shelton, haven't had a time to dive in his books too much neither....have them though....I have this think about collecting books...lol....my concept is, when I am done, I'll have all the time to read....

medieval writings for some odd reason are my favorites....love the tradegies and the comedies....

Okay....
what will be our first book? It would be nice to start with a Liberian author...but then folks might not have access....

oh speaking of Liberian authors....I love Angela Peabody....Exiled...there are so many books, but I lose track sometimes...don't you?...lol

I love anything by James Patterson. I love psychological thrillers. One of my favorite books of all time is Miseducation of the negro by Carter G. Woodson. I used to read a lot of Danielle Steele when I was younger. Oh and I am a Sci-fi junkie.

it difficult for me reading a book that a movie has being made of already. it kinda of spoil the surprise, mystery, suspense etc
