I've always 'liked' books and reading, but not until relatively recently have I really read just for the sake of reading. I simply adore it now. Can't go to sleep without reading for 30 minutes or so...
I'm a fantasy girl.
The Chronicles of Narnia, the Harry Potter series, and Peter and Wendy (the story of Peter Pan has always fascinated me); love the Lord of the Rings movies, but haven't got around to reading the books (I know, I'm horrible - it won't be much longer or I'll burst!)
C. S. Lewis is a favorite, but I can't rightly say I've read a whole lot of him. I adore many quotes by him, which tells me that I'd love his books. They're also on the future reading list.
Anne of Green Gables has a fond place in my heart. I can't get enough of Anne's imagination and Gilbert's... er, way with words, should I say? He's amazing, haha. :o
One of my favorite people of all time is Elisabeth Elliot. Goodness, I love that woman. Practically anything by her I've read or can't wait to read. Favorites are Quest for Love and Let Me Be a Woman.
A new favorite book (and thus author) would be The God Who Is There by Francis Schaeffer. Not only is he extremely logical, and brings it down to an understandable level, his compassion for man is incomparable. I want to be just like him. So many intelligent people waste their brains by not giving a moment's thought to people dying for truth. He's the example of how not to be that way.
as for some good books on living life as a Christian, I love the authors: Eric and Leslie Ludy, Joshua Harris, and of course, Elisabeth Elliot.
I love many books. But undoubtedly my favorite is the one by which I live my life. My favorite books of the Bible are 1 John, James, Romans, Ephesians, Psalms, and Proverbs.
If someone were to ask me tomorrow for a good book reccomendation, I would, depending on the person, suggest either The God Who Is There, or Adam by Ted Dekker. Ohmyword... that book is incredible. I highly, highly suggest you read it.
