Admin, I love To Kill A Mockingbird. I only saw the movie, but I can't think that the book is any better.
Yes, the movie is great, too. What I love about the book (and all great books) is that you can go at your own pace and reread the great lines as many times as you want.

This is easy!
Kingdom Keepers 1: Disney After Dark
Kingdom Keepers 2: Disney at Dawn
Kingdom Keepers 3: Disney in Shadow
Kingdom Keepers 4: Power Play
Kingdom Keepers 5: Shell Shock (whioch doesn't come out till tomorrow, but I already know it's going to be ah-mazing!)
Out of all of them, I like number 4 best because my two favorite characters meet. I was reading it at a restaurant last Easter, and I literally burst out squealing.

Sorry, number 5 is called Shell Game. My bad.
@Blackberry E.
The only book on your second post I haven't read/ don't absolutely love is I Rode a Horse of Milk White Jade. And I'm happy to see someone else has read The Clockwork Three. Not that I remember much of it beyond the green violin.
(April 6, 2012 - 5:06 pm)
i just read that one! *coincidence*
(April 7, 2012 - 8:48 am)
@Melody and SusyQ: My mom read it out loud to us. I thoght it was a FABULOUS book.
The only thing I didn't enjoy about it, was that my mom kept complaining about (bad writing, bad dialogue, etc) to the point I almost screamed.
(April 7, 2012 - 4:19 pm)
I only just realized that it comes out tomorrow. It's so exciting.
Umm, I think for this one to actually have it be accurate it would have to be series of books, but I will just have to manage.

The Silmarillion By JRR Tolkien
The Brothers Karamazov by Feodor Dostoyevsky
JRR Tolkien: A Life by Humphrey Carter
****Note: There as so. so many books that I love and learn from and savor every word of that it was hard to choose five. Five. What a limited number. Gee. And so, as an afterthought/footnote no less important than the list, I will add these:
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
Wind, Sand, and Stars by Antonin de Saint-Exupery
Mrs. Mike by Benedict and Nancy Freedman
Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarde
*****Note: The Hunger Games and its sequels would be on here, only I haven't read them yet, but mean to. My friend (not on here) promises she will lend them to me. But I'll tell you this; each day that passes I get less and less excited about reading them, due to all the media and fangirl hype that bombards me the minute I opne my Web browser or glance at a TV. Please tell me that there's more to them than their cult status, blood sport, and two hot love interests; I know that The Lord of the Rings outlived its '60's cult (yes, back in the day, it had an absolutely bonkers fan following), and I pray that this will too.
I believe I am starting to ramble.
I'm outta here- Cheerio!
