    Hi Ed,

    Blogroll love returned! If you haven't read Nicholas Sparks "Three Weeks With My Brother" it's worthy of adding to the the list. I finished "Six Minutes To Freedom" this weekend and it's another one I highly recommend. So much good stuff...so little time *sigh*.

  2. Nice one Ed,

    Thanks for your comment on my own blog about 2000 bloggers.

    Ok, my fiction recommendation is Tom Holt's "The Portable Door" a sublime fantasy that combines sly references to my other favourite activity - appearing in Gilbert & Sullivan productions.

  3. @Ed - (Tino's The Coolest) Thanks for the compliment and for linking those photos
    back to me. Peace! :)

  4. Thank you for stopping by to read my blog and comment...my goal to put love on the top ten! You would think that would be pretty easy, hun!!

  5. Anji says:

    "Siddhartha" by Herman Hesse is probably my favorite book.

  6. Thank You for leaving that comment on my blog. I guess the genius inside you never slept... ;)

    Talking about books, I like to read more of technical stuff, as I am damn busy with my engg.

    But yeah have read lots of books, and if u ask professionally... I love Da Vinci Code....too good!

    Otherwise....deep inside, My holy book Quran is above all.

    Your choice... :)

    Hi Ed,

    Mr. Planemaker's Flying Machine by Shelagh Watkins is a cracking read. It's for 10-80 year-olds who like to work things out for themselves. Don't we all?

  8. Sandra says:

    Hi Ed,

    Oh, there's too many to pick just one. For my favorite book, I'll have to go with Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer Johnson, MD.

  9. My favorite book? That would be the one I have yet to write - I think about it constantly. :) Other than that, if I had to choose just one, Hurray for Me by S.J. Wilson (loooong out of print) would accompany me to that mythical desert island.

    Cheers,
    Carol

    Another cool idea! Favorite book is "To Your Scattered Bodies Go" by Philip Jose Farmer - part of the Riverworld series... Oh, and I think you can safely say you coined the term "buntic"...

    Hello dad,

    The last book I read was "Junior" by Macaulay Culkin, yes he wrote a book. I thought it was amusing that he quizzes the reader to see if they are allowed to read this book. It's really random, very interesting and easy to read. Reminds me of the type of book I would write except mine would have more substance.

    I also read the SCUM Manifesto which isn't so great but needed to read it. And the last book I'm currently reading is a book that rhymes with Bunt, spelled with a C.
    A declaration of independence.

    Toodles,
    TR

    I just reread John Irving's "A Prayer for Owen Meany" for the fourth time. Get something new each and every time I read that. I guess it's my favorite and my best.

    Just can't seem to resist joining in! I'm on the 2,000 Bloggers (7th mug after the question mark in first row.)

    My favourite book is
    Cereus Blooms at Night
    by Shani Mootoo. This was her first novel and was a finalist for the Giller Prize, The Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize and the Chapters/Books in Canada First Novel Award. The novel's cover is an original work of art by Shani as she's also a visual artist as well as an author. It's not a light read but well worth the effort if you like lyrical prose.

    Good Luck with the project.

    Okie, I'm one of the 2000 bloggers, so I'm going to share my favorite children's book:

    The Gingerbread Man by Jim Aylesworth. There are lots of different versions of this story, but this one is my favorite!

    http://www.amazon.com/Gingerbread-Man-Jim-Aylesworth/dp/0590972197/sr=8-2/qid=1170257515/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/104-4691068-4295144?ie=UTF8&s=books

  16. L’il E says:

    Oh man, you are going to make me choose just one? Talk about Sophie's Choice...no that's not my book (or my movie)! At absolute gunpoint I'm going to go with The Birthday Boys by Beryl Bainbridge. Cool idea, nice 2000-inspired post too!

  17. L’il E says:

    Oh and I AM one of the 2000!

  18. Liz says:

    My favorite book is "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen
    Thanks for the email from 2000 bloggers.

  19. Nitesh says:

    I would say -

    Straight From The Gut
    by Jack Welch

  20. nitesh says:

    And I am also one of 2000 :)

    Hi Ed,

    I'm one of the 2000 bloggers so here you go...

    My favourite book of all time is probably one of the most recently read ones. Hiding The Elephant by Jim Steinmeyer deals with the beginning of magic as an entertainment but also manages to entertain the reader. Highly recommended.

  22. ella m. says:

    Chossing between books is like asking me to choose between children but for the sake of your buntic this 2000 blogger's favorite book is "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho.

    I'm on that poster somewhere towards the bottom.
    This is also a great idea.

    It's hard to choose a favorite book so I'll go with my ver first favorite book.

    "The Veleveteen Rabbit".
    Gives a kid a heart.

    Otherwise is Atwood's "Margaret Atwood: The Handmaid's Tale"

    Thank you, nice to meet you.
