Mine has got to be CHANCES by Jackie Collins.

Quite a rude book but very good

Watership Down.
Lord of the flies
Lord of the Rings
The Hobbit
All James Herriot stories
The water babies

haven't really got a favourite but just finished reading 'Bad Mothers Handbook' by Kate Long.................3 generations living under one roof, Nan, Mum and 26 year old daughter.........super read.....funny but very meaningful in parts. One of those books I couldnt put down.

When I was young I loved The Secret Garden.......still do in fact. It was my most favourite.

As an adult now that is difficult but no joke
ROOTS has to be among the top 3
THE BOURNE IDENTITY was another fave......read that about 25 years ago maybe longer
SHERLOCK HOLMES............all of them are my next faves but I have read so many books its difficult to choose really.

Kel this is a good thread......gonna think and add more
