Recommend your favorite book or author

[AMS_Libros]

Hello all, just wanted to get a feel for the PR readers out there.
Anyone have any favorite book they would like to recommend and why?

How about books about a specific author and theme.

I dont realy care about subject, could be in any category, fiction, non-fiction, self-help, cook , anything...

Thanks all
-Benjamin

Don Benja, I read voraciously like my mother and father before me. I just finished The Collectors by David Baldacci, anything from him is good reading. I also enjoy James Patterson and I have read all his books. Got tired of Tom Clancy for the same reason I don't read Patricia Cornwall anymore, they became predictable and formulaic. Just read The Mammoth Hunters again (Jean Auel) as well as a collector's book given to me by my wife on the works of Shakespeare in the old English. For light and fun reading in the summer I read Janet Evanovich and her very weird family from Jersey. I love biographies or anything by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, lately my wife and I have been reading a lot from Isabel Allende, and Vargas Llosa and Octavio Paz are also favorites. A good source for good books and to know what's hot is your local library- and it is free!!!

Some people consider my preferred reading as a chore. The books I read tend to be somewhat philosophical and introspective.

On the philosophical side I recommend "The Art of Worldly Wisdom" by Baltasar Gracian. He was a 15th(?) century Jesuit priest from Spain. His book is a collection of confuciouslike thoughts that are rather crafty for a priest.

The second book is "Tuesday's with Morrie," the true story of this dying man is very introspective. It makes one think about the purpose of and place in one's life.
