Pat Conroy writes fiction...I guess you'd call them dramas. But they'll make you laugh, cry, and feel wonderful. Conroy makes love with words -- some of the best usage of the English language I have ever read. He writes about rites of passage and life experiences.....

marquis de sade? Read some of his works in a humanities course back in university...um....interesting reads to be sure.
Lord of the Rings definately!
Um, I would suggest the Avalon series by Marrion Zimmer Bradley for something different (fiction -- historical / fantasy). In order:
- The Fall of Atlantis
- The Forest House
- Lady of Avalon
- Priestess of Avalon (touches on some characters in Lady of Avalon)
- Mists of Avalon

I recommend anything by John Irving, because he is my favorite author. If you're looking for a starting point, I recommend The Cider House Rules or A Prayer For Owen Meany.

yes Lilith John Irving is a must read for a short list of others I love
Christopher Moore - a good start with him would be Practucal Demon Keeping kind of a horror comdie
Elmore Leonard - hard to recomend just one book by him but a good start might be Out of Sight he true one of the greatest crime fiction writers out there
Tom Robbins - start with Even Cowgirls Get The Blue and I'm sure you'll have to read everything he's writen
Carl Hiaasen - not sure if you read anything before knbow you correct steph on his name in a thread if you haven't read anything by him
Tim Dorsey - Florida Road Kill the first book I've read by him and I think his first book but it will have you LOL'in you ass off
Tim Sandlin - Skipped Parts is one more must read
Lilith you know where to find me if you need more I have a long list I could recomend

Well if you loved the movie, Lilith... the book is even better! Yes, I am one of those people that see movies and and comment on the book. The movie was wonderful, but it was nothing that a book could provide. I'm actually re-reading that book when I have the time.

Its a pretty good movie but they destroyed the book
Thats what happens a lot with books which are made into films, unfortunately. There are some exceptions though.
