Guest guest Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 -What a wonderful idea, Topper! I love to read and read anything I can get my hands on and try to read books that other people really like. Right now I'm reading " The Madhatter's Guide to Chocolate " by Rhett DeVane. It is a fiction story set in Chattahoochee, FL. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll cheer on the characters--she has since written a second book that follows these main characters. My favorite book which I really enjoyed was " The Time Traveler's Wife " and I can't remember who wrote it. Very good story. I used to read only biographies and true crime, so switching to fiction was a thrill for me. I love letting my imagination run with the authors'. I look forward to hearing from everyone else about their books. Dorothy > > > > > On the first Saturday of the month we like to do > something a bit > different here on TTSG.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Now that sounds interesting too... I LOVE reading.. it's a way to enter new worlds and meet new people.. for me, the bigger the book the better... Most important is how well the characters are developed.. I love 'getting to know' them.. Never even thought of this when the suggestion came in for theme day.... For those that love reading the classics and don't get to the library much or have money to spend on books... I download Ebooks and read them on the computer... I also do audio books and listen to those... I have to find the links for the free ebooks.. the free audio books I know by hear... www.audiobooksforfree.com You can pay more for better quality sound recordings.. but the free ones are okay.. not WOW but okay. There are hundreds and hundreds of them... But.. it's all the old classics that are out of copyright, that's the only type the can do for free.. copyrighted stuff still has royalties due the author... They have the entires series that the Wizard of Oz comes from.. it's like 15 or 20 books... following Dorothy and the crew through all kinds of adventures... Dracula The entire Sherlock Holmes collection... Romances, horrors, suspense, detective... I've had a field day downloading them... I really like listening to audio books while working...
