Re: WANTED: Suggestions for our next FICTION book!
In response to coolsummer. Yes, I have watched the t.v. series from episode one and now am watching season 3. I have a link for watching the entire series online which I will share if anyone is interested. I also found a link for all 5 books online. Both links are free. Nice to hear from you.

Re: WANTED: Suggestions for our next FICTION book!
This looks interesting...
The Magician's Book is the story of one reader's long, tumultuous relationship with C.S. Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia. As a child, Laura Miller read and re-read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and its sequels countless times, and wanted nothing more than to find her own way to Narnia. In her skeptical teens, a casual reference to the Chronicles’s Christian themes left her feeling betrayed and alienated from the stories she had come to know and trust. Years later, convinced that "the first book we fall in love with shapes us every bit as much as the first person we fall in love with," Miller returns to Lewis' classic fantasies to see what mysteries Narnia still holds for adult eyes—and is captured in an entirely new way.
In her search to uncover the source of these small books’ mysterious power, Miller looks to their creator, Clive Staples Lewis. What she discovers is not the familiar, idealized image of the author, but a man who stands in stark contrast to his whimsical creation—scarred by a tragic and troubled childhood, Oxford educated, a staunch Christian, and a social conservative, armed with deep prejudices.

Re: WANTED: Suggestions for our next FICTION book!
This sentence is self-contradictory. How do you know the book is unreadable if you didn't read it? If the cover put you off so much, why did you bother reading it? Makes no sense.Miky wrote:The book was unreadable and no way I was going to buy a book with a ****** and a white woman the cover.

Re: WANTED: Suggestions for our next FICTION book!
Wait what?!? Mike? If that is who you really are, since you gave a first and last name, I think you are trying to make someone else look bad. I didn't think anyone used such bigoted language anymore. Please give us a break with the derogatory name calling stuff. nuff said...off my soap box.

Miky was banned for being an illiterate bigot. This thread is for members with 10+ posts, for book suggestions not book bashing, and for people that understand how to communicate without insulting millions of people with one disgusting word.

Deb,
Please don't post a link to any pirated or illegal copies of books or movies. Links like that are not permitted on BookTalk.org and can get this community (and you) in serious trouble.
I'm a Game of Thrones fan too. I'm about to start watching the newest season.

Re: WANTED: Suggestions for our next FICTION book!
And everyone...
After making your suggestion please comment on the suggestions other people have made. Would you read and discuss their book suggestion? If we don't receive feedback on book suggestions we'll assume nobody other than the person that made the suggestion actually wants to read that book. And that wouldn't be much of a discussion now would it?

Re: WANTED: Suggestions for our next FICTION book!
With that business out of the way, let's pick a book and read. If I may, I vote for anything that will get a healthy intelligent discussion started.

Re: WANTED: Suggestions for our next FICTION book!
The Magician's Book sounds interesting. I would like to read that. Not sure I've been here long enough to get a vote. Like I said I would read most anything suggested by the group.

fordgal1960, we'll accept your vote if you continue posting. Often people join and then vanish. We just want to make sure people that influence which books we read actually participate in the discussion of those books. You have 5 total posts so far. As the first post in this thread said: "1. Do not suggest books if you have less than 10 posts on our forums." You're 1/2 way there. ![Wink ;-)](https://www.booktalk.org/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
