    Hot or Not Best Book You Read At School?

    BBC - Culture - The 11 greatest children?s books

    I went to school in London (UK). I agree with most of these except I never read "Little Women" or "A Wrinkle In Time" but I think they should have included some books like "The Moondial" and there are some others I really liked like "James and the Giant Peach".

    "The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe"... awesome
    "Alice In Wonderland"... awesome
    Anything "Roald Dahl"... awesome

    Which other books did you really like?

              Mein Kampf, Freshman year of high school. I'm not joking. This book taught me that there are evil and vile men in the world.

                      Wow...... I heard that the book was poorly written, is it true?

                                  Of course "To Kill A Mockingbird" and "Lord of the Flies" - read both later on in higher school. In fact, looking back it surprises me how many books I read as I hated reading at that age.

                                          Best books

                                          Greatest book I ever read was Death Ship by B. Traven, who also wrote The Treasure of Sierra Madre. Puts life in a new perspective. The meaning doesn't become clear until the final few chapters.
                                          I have read at least 10,000 books in my life. No book has left the lasting impression this one did.

                                          Greatest book in school, I had read the Red Badge of Courage. No big thing. But as a teacher's aid, our class was in the library one day. This was the class of losers. I picked up this book and started to explain the book to a guy, that I doubt had ever read a novel. I knew the day he left high school he'd be on his way to the war in Viet Nam. Thought knowing at some point, we all get scared this book might help him. Just about had him to take the book and some library aid came up and said, "you can't talk in the library." Ruined the moment.
                                          Irony is the draft board never got him. He drowned swimming. All these years later it still bugs me, had he read that book, would his life been different.

                                          I have read "In Cold Blood" several times and seen the movie multiple times. Just before Smith & Hitchcock were hanged, they hung "The Nicest Boy In Kansas." Took over 30 minutes pulling on his legs to finally kill him, he was so fat. Lowell Andrews was hung for killing his parents, sister and a grandparent. Week before, in his eagle scout uniform, boosted me on his shoulders to watch a parade. I was 6. First murderer I ever met.

                                              Read Mein Kampf & Das Capital. If I was required to read them again, I'd say just shoot me.

                                                          Alas Babylon by Pat Frank, a cold war era novel where the US and Russia break out in a full scale nuclear war in the 1960's. Its a really interesting read especially if your into that survivalist stuff.

                                                                                  I have read at least 10,000 books in my life. No book has left the lasting impression this one did.

                                                                                  Greatest book in school, I had read the Red Badge of Courage. No big thing. But as a teacher's aid, our class was in the library one day. This was the class of losers. I picked up this book and started to explain the book to a guy, that I doubt had ever read a novel. I knew the day he left high school he'd be on his way to the war in Viet Nam. Thought knowing at some point, we all get scared this book might help him. Just about had him to take the book and some library aid came up and said, "you can't talk in the library." Ruined the moment.
                                                                                  Irony is the draft board never got him. He drowned swimming. All these years later it still bugs me, had he read that book, would his life been different.

                                                                                  I have read "In Cold Blood" several times and seen the movie multiple times. Just before Smith & Hitchcock were hanged, they hung "The Nicest Boy In Kansas." Took over 30 minutes pulling on his legs to finally kill him, he was so fat. Lowell Andrews was hung for killing his parents, sister and a grandparent. Week before, in his eagle scout uniform, boosted me on his shoulders to watch a parade. I was 6. First murderer I ever met.
                                                                                  If you have read 10,000 books, how have you had any time to do anything else?

                                                                                  I know nothing about you, but let's do some basic math. If you are 40 (just randomly choosing this number) and you started reading regularly when you were 8 that means you have read regularly for 32 years. That works out to 312 books a year which means you read a book every 1.16 days.

                                                                                  If you are 60-years-old now you are looking at 192 books a year which is a book every 1.9 days without fail.

                                                                                  I don't doubt you have read a lot of books, but 10,000 seems like a pretty crazy number.

The other thing I remember is reading the Lord of the Rings in detention.
