"Redeeming Love" by Francine Rivers is a spectacular romance-type biblical story (about the book of Hosea). "This Present Darkness" by Frank Peretti is a thriller (but also Christian). I'm interested to know what you will send. :)Sprittibeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07992769339576987845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24770948.post-1154871806240674112006-08-06T13:43:00.000+00:002006-08-06T13:43:00.000+00:00thanks for all the suggestions.

Then I can send one every now and then.<BR/><BR/>Tammy, we dont have an online shop at the moment. We do sell cds online through ebay and amazon, but the books are just in our garage now that the fair is over.Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15545861122066668634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24770948.post-1154834510437169852006-08-06T03:21:00.000+00:002006-08-06T03:21:00.000+00:00My husband also suggested any science fiction of L...My husband also suggested any science fiction of L Ron Hubbard, not Dianetics, Battlefield Earth he says is a good one. <BR/><BR/>Also, can you send me the link for your husband's online bookstore. My hubby, Mike, is a big reader, and would love to check out what he has, and get different versions of books.

I think the suggestion for Hitchhiker's Guide is a good one too. DH says he'll think some more and let you know if he comes up with anything else.<BR/><BR/>Why not write and say "I know you've read so much, I don't want to send something you've already got access to, so I've put together a list for you to choose from"? At least that way you'll know you're not sending something that's already in the prison library.<BR/><BR/>Also, if there's something he's mentioned that he enjoyed, there's a website that makes suggestions based on what you've already read and liked - http://www.whatshouldireadnext.com/ - and lots of people on Amazon have put book-lists together, so if you look up something you think he'd like (whether he's read it or not), you might get ideas from the lists some other people have compiled which include that.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00221599148494338509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24770948.post-1154692230600337042006-08-04T11:50:00.000+00:002006-08-04T11:50:00.000+00:00I would personally recommend the 'Hitch-Hikers Gui...I would personally recommend the 'Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy', ostensibly because it touches all bases: humour, satire, drama, sci-fi and it's quasi-religious without being offensive. All things to all men.<BR/>Failing that, for a nice short read, how about 'The Wisdom and Acheivements of Tony Blair.'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24770948.post-1154685192295912202006-08-04T09:53:00.000+00:002006-08-04T09:53:00.000+00:00yes i thought Stephen King might be good. But hes...yes i thought Stephen King might be good. But hes been reading the prison library for 20 years and every time I mention a well known book he seems to have read it. So Im wondering if someone less known, maybe from the UK, would be better. I really have no idea. Im going to hoik a load of books out of the garage and see which one takes my fancy.Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15545861122066668634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24770948.post-1154684049563752732006-08-04T09:34:00.000+00:002006-08-04T09:34:00.000+00:00My husband likes to read Stephen King, and I like ...My husband likes to read Stephen King, and I like to read Dean Koontz. I hear John Grissom(sp?) is good too. Is he religious? Maybe a book of inspirational sayings, or maybe a joke book, to keep his spirits up? Wow, this is a hard one. Maybe just start out with a couple, and then find out if he liked those, and what he would want more of. Good Luck!Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01392434355065441692noreply@blogger.com
