Good Books

I also recommend Stephen King's Dark Tower series, if you have awhile, lol. It ties in with many of his other works...I'd also recommend the Stand and Eye of the Dragon.

I agree... Those three felt even more like a trilogy than the first three, to me. Good reads, but only as part of the "trilogy." Can't wait for Gibson's new one, Spook Country, which he has been posting excerpts of to his blog.

You guys have named some good ones..

If you guys are into murder/mystery I recommend James Patterson. Ive read a ton of his books and have enjoyed them all.

I LOVE James Patterson I just got his new one "Cross" but i want to read the others before I start this one

I also like "Little Earthquakes" by Jennifer Weiner... if you like chick books

and if you are one of the few who haven't read the Harry Potter series...I would suggest that one too...I am 24 and I love them

I was in Borders the other day and bought a bunch of stuff, just to cover the fact that I was also buying Nancy Drew's Guide to Life

Harry Potter. All the way. I love them. Obviously. No matter what age you are, you should read them.

Also, 1984 by George Orwell. Excellent.

Um...so many others.

Twilight and New Moon by Stephenie Meyer are fantastic.

All the Dan Brown books are awesome.

Oh! And A Great and Terrible Beauty and Rebel Angels by Libba Bray are on my Top 10 list. They're beautiful...that's the best word I can think of.

Candide by Voltaire is a classic that I was dreading reading when I was in high school. I ended up giggling all through it.

I like sci-fi and one of the ones I enjoyed the most was Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card.

"The Power of Myth" by Joseph Campbell and Bill Moyers

In fact, I've found a lot of things Joseph Cambell writes to be quite enlightening.

Tamora Pierce's Song of the Lioness Quartet good books =)

there's 4 books to that set, another set follows it and another quartet follows that one, it's a real good series

Erm....I can't remember the author, but it's a really good book. Takes like an hour to read, though (it's like five hundred thirty-something pages, but it's all in a poem-like form, so it's a quick read). It's called Crank.

I really like the book Tim Burton: Interviews by Kristian Fraga.

I like almost all biograhpies, really. I like learning about people that I have an interest in.
