With time pass we might choose different kind of books to read. In childhood, fairy tale is favourite style. Then I like to read science fiction, detective books etc. Maybe you can not remember most detailed clues. However you might still remember some main plot. If you wanna recommend some books for us, which books do you like to introduce? Which books are still in your memory?

I like many different types of books, fiction, non fiction, mysteries etc. I also like reading biographies, autobiographies and histories. It really just depends on what I am in the mood for.

I used to love to read biographies when I was growing up. I haven't read any for a long time. I think the last one I read was written by female profiler in the FBI and I read it because I was thinking of becoming a profiler. I would love to start reading biographies again- do you have any that you would recommend?

When I was younger, I loved Louis Sachar. Sideways stories from Wayside School was one of my absolute favorite books, and I have actually read this to my children. I also really liked Joan Lowery Nixon and Lois Duncan. RL Stine was one of my favorites as I got older. Now I like good Chic Lit and True Crime. Ann Rule is probably one of my favorite authors, and would recommend her to any other True Crime fan.

I don't remember exactly the books I used to read when I was younger but if I Were to go to a store selling books I could probably pick out the ones I remember by their covers. I do remember reading the Babysitter's Club when I was maybe 10 to 12?
Now I like mystery's, Romance, Crime, Western (cowboys and indians), Pioneer (Immigration to the USA)... I could sit for hours reading book after book out of those genres right there.

I still like to read fiction books especially authored by Dan Brown and Jostein Gaardner. I also read the classic works of H.G. Wells, H.P. Lovecraft, Edgar Alan Poe, M.R. James, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. For the non-fiction books I recommend that you read All I Really Need to Know I Learned From Kindergarten by Robert Fulghum. Sun Tzu's The Art of War and Miyamoto Musashi's The Book of Five Rings for leadership manual. Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, The Science of Getting Rich, Think and Grow Rich to name a few for money matters.

Some of my favorite books are The Last Unicorn, The Lord of the Rings, and The Chronicles of Narnia. I'm a big fan of fantasy, mythology, and speculative fiction. Non-fiction and realistic fiction tends to bore me, but I will read if I'm interested. (I'm reading a non-fiction book about giraffes right now. lol) Some of my other favorite books are The Hunger Games (Mockingjay comes out in three days! WHOOO HOOOO!!! EXCITEMENT!), The Circle Trilogy, and the Percy Jackson Series.
