Five favorite books and why? - Azrael
Sons of Fortune - Jeffery Archer; I love this book because it's about two twins that get separated at birth. It follows the both of them through their lives and how different they are. One of them becomes an accountant, the other joins the war effort. They both live similar lives, but neither of which intend on doing the same things. Both decide to run for senator. One chose because his father-in-law asked him to. The other because he wanted to. One went to law school, the other didn't. It's really a good story, especially if you love politics. =)
Taming of the Shrew - Shakespeare; This isn't technically a book, but I'm throwing it in here anyway. I love Shakespeare on general principal, but this one is my favorite for obvious reasons. If you haven't read it (and I know 90% of the people at PV haven't because they spend every year on R&J)...it's about sisters Catarina and Bianca. Bianca falls in love with Marcutio, but her dad has a rule that she can't get married until Catarina gets married. Bianca comes up with the idea to set her up with the most horrid man in all of (whatever town, Verona?). It turns out that Catarina actually winds up falling in love with Patrucio, because she loves his tenacity and ability to know what she's doing. Though she marries him against his will, she winds up falling in love with him at the end. Think Ten Things I Hate About You. I love the book because it's about falling in love with the one person you'd never suspect.
I don't know if this counts, seeing as it's a series, but I don't care lol. Hardy Boys - Franklin W. Dixon. I wasn't a typical girl growing up. Although I loved playing with Barbies, I was also hardcore into being a Tomboy. I loved reading my dad's old Hardy Boys books and comic books. I love, love, love classic Spider Man and Fantastic Four. ^_~ I spend a lot of time going back through my old books. Anything in my library is something I'm in love with. I always preferred Hardy Boys over Nancy Drew, but when they crossed them over, I was all over it.
Timeline - Michael Crichton; This book is one of my favorites because of the story. I'm in love with time travel romance books. And if you've ever read the books, do not watch the movie. The movie pretty much kills the book. It skips every single important detail I can think of. Anyway, this book is one of my favorites because I love the time travel aspect of it. The ending made me cry, especially in the beginning when they point out that the grave they were studying was a man who was missing an ear; the one who loved "Lady Claire". It turned out in the end that Andre was that guy. So it brings up the whole question that if you knew your fate, would trying to change it change your fate or make it happen?
The Zombie Survival Guide - Max Brooks; I will not deny my obsession with zombies. I do have a contingency plan, and it is very thorough. If anything should happen, however, I don't believe it would be like the movies. I believe a zombie outbreak would be man made; I mean, we've got biological warfare you wouldn't believe, why not create something? I don't think it would be rising from the dead; that's just absurd. I love movies about them, even though the thought terrifies me. It helps me like crazy to make fun of them. ^_~
