It's once again the time to nominate books for our spring reading list. The genres are non-fiction, fantasy and classic.

 

I have decided that our fiction book will be "The Prestige" by Christopher Priest. One of my privileges as Keeper is that I can decide that *g*

 

Remember to post both the name of the book AND the author. And if you feel so inclined you should tell us a little bit about the book to peak our interest.

 

You may nominate books until some time next week.

Umm this is totally random. "Into the Fire" by Gilbert L. Morris (I think) I'm not home, so I'll check it out when I get home. It's the second book in a two part series. Even if you haven't read the first one, you can gather most of it from the second.

Well, since it seems to be my job to choose non-fiction for no one to read, let me throw out some suggestions.

 

"Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl" I'm reading this to my sixth graders right now. This will ensure that I actually finish the book we've selected.

 

I'm sure I can think of more.

Oracle Application Server 10g Administration Handbook by Garmany & Burleson for Science Fiction?

Oh, Mia, of course we must read The Prestige! I even bought it because of you.

 

For the classic, I nominate the play "Faust" by Goethe. I've been meaning to read it for awhile.

How about Crime & Punishment (F.M. Dostoevsky) for Classics? Or maybe A Tale of Two Cities (Dickens)? Those are both my favorites, so of course, I've read them. But, if I'm going to join you in this, I suppose I should suggest something I have, but havent read! :P So, how about the Brothers Karamazov (F.M. Dostoevsky) or A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (Mark Twain).

And once again I'm going to nominate "The Tales of Locke Lamora" for fantasy. It's by Scott Lynch and is a very different fantasy story. It's funny, interesting, nerve-wracking, and generally a great story all around.

 

It's different from your traditional fantasy stories, but I loved it despite that. Or maybe because of it.

Ok I was wrong. The author is Dennis L. McKiernin. It's fantasy by the way.

why am I not surprised no one jumed on my Oracle book, I swear it is fantasy because half of what is in it doesn't work when you try it...

I wouldn't mind reading Anne Frank, Kath. In fact I've been meaning to for a while now =)

i laughed at the Oracle suggestion :P

 

 

what about Karma Sutra ;) :P

Guys, if you're not going to make actual suggestions could you not make any at all? I get very easily confused ;)

it is what I am working on reading...

Only I'm allowed to do that.

Well Shamaeso, if you think we should all read it then that's cool and I'll put it on the voting list. =)

rofl. i'm sure you'd all love that book :P

Yes, which is why I'm asking if he thinks it ought to be on there in the first place ;)

Alright, you have a few more days, and then we're gonna start the nominations!

I finished The Prestige in two days. Awesome book!!!

Hah! I know!

Totally the Lies of Locke Lamora. Everybody who hasn't read it is missing out. :D

Well I finished my Oracle book so now I am starting the Belgariad series by Eddings again..I need to find my Terry Brooks books, they never got unpacked from my last move..
