I really love books by Enid Blyton (that classic English writer 
)
if you like the stories of detectives or crimes, you definitely have to read books by Agatha Christie, especially the ones about Hercule Poirot.
for the Christian books, i guess Life Without Limits by Nick Vujicic is a very inspiring and motivating book.

You can print them, which i sometimes do when not too long. I dislike reading online too. For suggestions, my father encouraged us to read biographies, like that of Helen Keller, Jose Rizal, Hans Christian Andersen, the hymnwriters perhaps. Some biographies i read were children's versions of books, like that first woman doctor whose name has slipped my memory, that African doc/missionary who won the Nobel prize.. oh, sorry just shows how growing old really affects the memory.. i seem to have had a list of some i have read as a student, but wonder if i could locate that. i disliked long novels, for many short stories told more than other very wordy novels cannot and which i could not finish! But i also preferred nonfiction to fiction.

Ohh, this reminds me of one of my favourite non-christian songs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugZDC_Eh_s4 I love this song, and there is a lot of history packed into it. the singers are really good too
Here are my book suggestions:
Evidence That Demands A Verdict by Josh McDowell (currently reading it, on the very long 69+ page chapter dealing with the Resurrection)
More Evidence That Demands A Verdict by Josh McDowell (have not read it, but heard it is good)
New Evidence That Demands A Verdict (have not read it, but it is the newest one in that series for now)
The Redwall series by Brian Jacques (so wish he had not died from heart failure or whatever it was that had to do with the heart)
I know you said, you don't really like science fiction, but I like Isaac Asimov's books about that
The Signature of God by Grant R. Jeffrey
The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel
The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren (which I still argue is not a self-help book, since he tells you how to begin a personal relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ, no self-help book is going to tell you how to do that)
Tortured for Christ by Richard Wurmbrand (sometime I will read it again, a lot to chew on)
The Cross and the Switchblade by Reverend David Wilkerson w/ John and Elizabeth Sherrill (there was a sequel to this and a movie made, but never read the sequel)

All About Famous Scientific Expeditions by Raymond Holden
All About Strange Beasts of the Past by Roy Chapman Andrews
Watership Down by Richard Adams
Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane
Ancient Israel by Lester L. Grabbe (Yes, it is not a Christian book and he is wrong about some of his arguments and objections, even with that, there is archaeological evidence in the book that supports what the Bible is saying about places, people, etc)
The Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens (I read it at a young age and don't really much except for maybe Sidney Carton and a Madame Dufarge or something, will reread sometime)
Becoming A Contagious Christian by Bill Hybels and Mark Mittelberg

Thank you, I think that's the best compliment someone has ever given me! I think you have my parents to thank for that...they're amazing tools in the hands of a loving God. There is no earthly reason I should have it better than the millions of other kids like me out there, but somehow I have it...my only response is to get on my knees and thank God, and then shout His praise from the mountain tops!
