Dianne, have you read "Promise of an Angel"? It is a Amish novel. Have never read a Amish novel before but it was well written and kept me interested, read it last weekend.
I don't read a lot of novels now a days (I used to all the time) my books are now information books the latest being Barbara Hand Clow and 'Catastrophobia' although old now I believe a book finds you when you are most receptive to it.
My last novel was some years ago, the 'Gormenghast Trilogy' by Mer...

Thanks for your input Peter. I found myself reading a lot of non-fiction the last couple of years but once in a while I need to throw a novel in the mix, can be quite interesting and refreshing.
Kristin & P.C. Cast: "House of Night" series was the last I read, this includes several books. I love vampires! I also devoured Anne Rice's "Interview With The Vampire," but historical novels also rank highly on my list.
Ken Follet's "Pillars of The Earth" and later novels are just as wonderful as...

Ken Follet's "Pillars of The Earth" and later novels are just as wonderful as Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" or "Sense and Sensibility", etc. I love her language and style! Charles Dickens was nice, too, in stretches, but certain of his book are way too long-winded for my taste.
For children, I'd reccommend books by Michael Ende, like "Jim Knopf/Button", "Momo" or the "Neverending Story" which are brimming with spiritual insights, clad in a way that people won't notice unless they are aware of spiritual concepts. Perfect to teach children the workings of the universe in storyform! I also loved "A Suitable Boy" by Vikram Seth which I read years ago in my early twenties, but will never forget. Several Indian families, individuals and how they are linked together in a epic saga. Brilliant!
In general, I like to read any novels, if they are not criminal novels, SciFi, novels with too many technical details or facts and figures or about psychologically ill people. Those are the things that I am not so interested in.
Basically, if there is an interesting character whose emotions can be empathized with, I like it.
as far as novels go,i would recommend "the dark tower" series by stephen king and trudi canavans "the black magicians trilogy".yep,you guessed it,i like fantasy adventure novels.on a non fiction level,the latest book im reading is "one soul,many bodies" by dr. brian weiss.
The last "spiritual" book I read was by John O'Donohue called "Anam Cara" which is Gaelic for "Soul Friend". A wonderful book with some new insights for me and a refreshingly different perspective.
Spirit Walker by Hank Wesselman. It's a true story about the author having out of body experiences and traveling to future. I wont say anymore but really interesting.
The Hobbit, One fish two fish, Terry Brookes - Walking with the Demon ( a Must for all Lightworkers ), anything by Terry Pratchett Oh, and Midsummer Night's Dream ~ so funny for kids hearing the name "Bottom"
Vitor, this is beautiful! My mum used to read it to me and my sister as children and my children have listened to me reading it to them! We've got one in each of the children's rooms (in German) and one in the livingroom (in English). A MUST HAVE! Just like Fynn's "Mister God, this is Anna."
