Books you recommend buying and WHY?

[2ndblogger]

I want to start a thread for us to recommend a good book to read..

Let's start now!

Me First:

**Stephanie Meyer's Twilight Series**

why: I was amused by how she plotted the story from twilight to new moon to breaking dawn..i how the books really coincide and how the series are interelated..

What can you recommend?

I would recommend "Someone at a distance" by Dorothy Whipple. It's not a book for men. I recommend it because it is pleasantly gentle. It's the kind of book you read while cuddled on the sofa on a rainy autumn day. I didn't like the ending but I love Whipple's writing, so it was worth it.

Don quixote, translated by edith grossman.

There are a few books I would recommend you to buy in case the world ran out of coal sources and there would be nothing to burn and make us warm....
But if you want to buy something valuable, I think that classics will never be out. I just saw a new copy of Jane Austen's Pride and Predjudice in my bookshop, though I know it by heart {also thanks to those many stupid Hollywood remakes}, I think, it is worth owning one like that.... :nod:

there are so many books to recommend!
but I will name Terry Pratchett's new book called Unseen Academicals. it is due out in October.
I have a lot of his Discworld novels and I love them.
they are so humorous and so human.
