My
all time favorite author, Jean M. Auel. I started reading her serie "Earth's
Children" when I was 13 years old, and I've re-read them so many times
since then, I know the four books by heart, but yet I can't put the books
down once I start reading them again! The serie tells the story of how
life COULD have been for Neanderthals and Nro-Magnon people 30.000 years
ago.



I
also like Erich Segal, who's the author behind the box office hit "Love
Story", although that's one of the few of his books that I have NOT read
yet. I recommand: "Acts of Faith" is a jewish man telling his incredible
story. "Doctors" follows two young people through their medicin studies,
telling the reader about their battles, their fear of taking responsibility
for making desicions that cause both life and death, and about their private
life too. "Prizes" is a story about three highly intelligent scientists
who all seek the Noble Prize, but have to pay greatly on the long, tough
way to get there, both , privately and professionally.
Jeg
kan også godt lide Erich Segal, som er forfatteren bag kæmpesucceen
"Love Story", selvom dette er én af de få af hans bøger,
som jeg IKKE har læst endnu. Jeg rekommanderer: "I Troens Navn" er
en fantastisk fortælling, fortalt af en jøde. "Lægerne"
følger to unge mennesker gennem deres medicinstudier. Historien
fortæller om deres kampe, deres etiske moral, om deres privatliv
samt om frygten for det ansvar, det er, at bestemme over liv og død.
"Den Største Pris" er en historie om tre højt begavede videnskabsmænd
indenfor tre forskellige områder, som alle kæmper for at nå
det samme mål: Nobelprisen. Men turen dertil er lang og hård,
både privat og professinelt.


I've
unfortunately only been able to get two books of Barbara Erskine, which
both are brilliant: "Lady of Hay" tells about a modern woman, who through
hypnotism finds out about her passed life. She re-lives this tragic previous
life through the sessions but realizes soon that something went wrong then
that has to be made right in the present. "Child of the Phoenix" tells
the dramatic tale of a woman from a time when only nobility and the king
ruled, and the woman had no say.
Desværre
har det kun været muligt for mig at skaffe to bøger af Barbara
Erskine, og begge to er fremragende: "Stemmer Fra Fortiden" handler om
en nutidens kvinde, som via hypnose finde ud af, at hun har levet et tidligere
liv. Med hjælp af hypnose genlever hun det tragiske tidligere liv,
men indser snart, at noget gik galt dengang, som der må rettes op
på. "Ildens Barn" fortæller en dramatisk historie om en kvinde
fra en tid hvor adlen og kongen herskede, og kvinden ingen skulle have
sagt.

Greg
Iles has written an exciting book that takes place during the WW2 in 1944
about the toxic gas Sarin, which Hitler had so much of that he COULD have
won the war, if he had had the guts to use it...: "Black Cross"
Greg
Iles har skrevet en vanvittig spændende bog, som tager sted under
Anden Verdenskrig og omhandler den giftige gasart, Sarin, hvilket Hitler
havde så meget af, at han KUNNE have vundet krigen, hvis han bare
havde turdet at bruge den...: "I Desperationens Navn"
I
gotta admit that I've never given Wilbur Smith a chance before, but finally
I read my very first Wilbur Smith book: "Birds Of Prey" which was pretty alright. The
follow-up, on the other hand, has everything that the first one was lacking:
"Monsun" is a wonderful book telling a tale from a time when law was taken
into own hands, and when you were more or less stabbed with a sword on
the least excuse *giggle*
Jeg
må indrømme, at jeg aldrig har givet Wilbur Smith en ærlig
chance tidligere, men endelig langt om længe læste jeg min
første Wilbur Smith bog: “Rovfuglene”, som var ganske underholdende,
men ikke vanvittig god. Til gengæld har opfølgeren dét,
som den første manglede. “Monsun” er en herlig to-delt bog, som
fortæller om en tid, hvor loven ikke betød en daddel, og hvor
man fik et sværd i panden for et godt ord *fnis*

took the author, Richard McGill, nine years to complete this amazing story about two families
in Japan, one American and one Japanese family, who share not only a dynasty
built on silk production, forbidden love and secrets of the past, but also
suffer together during the WW2 and the wars between Japan and China. Definitely
worth reading: "Omamori"
Det
tog forfatteren ni år at færdiggøre dette mesterværk,
som beretter om to familier i Japan, én amerikansk og én
japansk, der ikke kun har et dynasti, bygget på silkeorme, sammen,
men som også oplever forbudt kærlighed, deler fortidens hemmeligheder
og lider sammen under Anden Verdenskrig og krigene mellem Japan og Kina.
Helt sikkert værd at læse: "Omamori"
Here
is an interesting writer. She writes mainly (as far as I know) for Harlequin
and Writer's Digest Magazine in USA, which not only means that she writes
love stories, but also that they're practically impossible to get in Danish.
I have read only one story by her in Danish, probably because none of the
other stories I have read in English, have been released in Danish yet
- to my knowledge. Or they are long gone... I can highly recommand The
Buckhorn Brothers, four seperate books about four extraordinary brothers
in a small town called Buckhown; "Sawyer", "Morgan", "Gabe" and "Jordan".
I can also recommand "Scandalized" about a man, who wants a baby, and a
woman who only wants the fantastic sex he can give her... Also "Taken"
is a pretty good book about a woman being kidnapped. I have several books
by her on their way from USA, so I'll let you know how they are, when I
have received and read them...
