 The names were City of Night The Prodigical Son the final one hasn't been released yet to my knowledge If you like a great story, myth and history all mixed seemlessly into one try - Jack Whyte he combines Autorian Legend and the fall of the Roman Empire into one seemlessly entertaining series of books. I however did not love the later books as much as the first few but still great reads.

Mark Haddon's "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time"
is an excellent read. Funny, sad & thoughtful. . . not the usual stuff. Stephen King's "The Stand" is my favorite book of his. . . it is like a big comic book. "In the Heart of the Sea" by Nathaniel Philbrick is another good one. It tells the true story of the Whaleship Essex. Good if you like history and it is the story of the event that Melville used to base Moby Dick. |

Tom Clancy's "Without Remorse" is great as is "Red storm Rising".
I'll definately vote for "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" The Bounty Trilogy was great So many choices.......

"The Weight of Water" by Anita Shreve. It is captivating, thought provoking and inspired. A fantastic read for anyone interested in fictionalized history and stories within stories.

An excellent book is "Master your Mind, Design your Destiny" by Adam Khoo. The best self help book I have read hands down. Even my husband loves it and has read it 3 times now.
Master your mind, design your destiny book

If you really want to be chilled to the bone, read "Whispers" by Dean Koontz. He's a fantastic writer with an awesome vocabulary. The Lovely Bones was very good as are the series by J.D. Robb...futuristic and well written.

Hmmmm...SciFi/Fantasy are primarily my "fun" reads
Heinlein - anything/everything EE Smith - Lensmen series Gordon Dickson - Dorsai series (Childe Cycle) Anne McCaffrey - Dragonriders of Pern Robert Aspirin - Myth series Roger Zelazny - Amber series Tolkien - The Hobbit and LOTR Isaac Asimov - Foundation series, Robot series Piers Anthony - Xanth series, Apprentice Adept series Fred Saberhagen - Sword series Harry Turtledove - Videssos series, any of his alternate history series (there are several) Terry Brooks - the original Shannara trilogy Jack Williamson - Brother to Demons, Brother to Gods Man, there are so many more that I can't think of now. I have boxes and boxes of books at home. Now I feel like I have to go home and re-read all those great books.... Kevin

Geeez, I feel so left out. I hate to read and all of you enjoy it so much. I read a book in Jr High some silly little paperback. I read another one while I was in the hospital some Voodoo book. But I actually read a real book once too, ALIVE.
