I'm steadily working through Ken Follet, Pillars of the Earth is my all time favourite.
I also love James Michiner but he's heavy going for the first 50 pages or so generally- - Steve

What a coincidence! Just this past week I recommended both of these to someone on another website. Good taste runs rampant!

I'd give it all up, for just a little more.

New testament NIV 1984 edition. Read the whole Bible 9 times and the new testament at least 11...or was it 14...I can't remember. I think next time through I'm going to read the ESV.

I've never found a book I read 9 times, who's the author? Originally Posted by PaulFLUS

Well let's just say He also authored the universe and everything in it.
It is said that Martin Luther read the entire bible twice a year and he had practically the entire New Testament and the Psalms memorized.Iron by iron is sharpened, And a man sharpens the face of his friend. PR 27:17

Unless it is a technical/user manual book I don't read books twice.
If the author didn't get their point across the first time they didn't do their job.

I guess it’s hard to tell who wrote the Bible, but the creator didn’t, it was wrote by man, but an interesting read the first time, but never again, just once in a while I reference something in it just to clarify.
Myself I’m working my way thru the Hobbit series of books, wanted to see how close all the Lord f the Ring movies were“ I,m getting the impression that everyone thinks I have TIME to fix their bikes”

I like whatever came first the book or the movie. Originally Posted by tcrideshd

A good example that you might like is The Worlds Fastest Indain.
The Movie was OK but it was after I read it.

It IS a technical/user manual book. And as to who "wrote" it, what Christians believe is that the ink was put on paper by several men but it was divinely inspired. So it was not technically written by the creator but it is the words of the creator. Originally Posted by 32t
