Can you recommend a good read?
 
I just finished Northern Lights and re-read Catch 22 with great pleasure - can you recommend a good read?

I hear DaVinci Code is fabulous. I read trash and am enthralled with the Sleeping Beauty series by Anne Rice.

I enjoyed Harlan Coben's No Second Chance & Gone for Good
as well as James Patterson's The Jester & Four Blind Mice

I've gone back and read some of John Grisham's older ones too The Testament & The Partner

I'm just starting Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas, I hear it's a really good read too.

Bryce Courtenay - The Power of One, also Tandia by the same author

as of recent I have been re-reading most of what I have of Jules Verne. If you like thay kind of thing "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" followed by "The Mysterious Island" are a good pair (I finished those over the end of summer/fall).

If you are a fan of the Wizard of Oz... I recommend reading Lion of Oz... uncovers the life of the cowardly lion.. from birth to the time he meets Dorothy... :) It was written by the original author's Great Great Grandson :)

Can you tell that I have a child? LOL

IF it is adult material that you actually crave... I suggest Lilith's current reading series :)

Either way... enjoy!!!

Lilith 12-30-2003 11:47 PM

I am gonna finish the series tonight;):slurp: I need a slave...it's that simple!

If you like science fiction then I heartily recommend anything my Robert A. Heinlein. If you want something more serious then I recommend psychology, it's an absolutely fascinating subject.

Just finished Big Bad Wolf by James Patterson. You know its an awesome book when 400 pages takes 24 hours. (either that or I just have no life).

BigBear57 12-31-2003 08:33 AM

I read Big Bad Wolf too, it was good but then I've enjoyed all of the Alex Cross series. Have you read When the Wind Blows and Lake House? (More Patterson)

River God by Wilbur Smith

If I were stranded on a desert island and stumbled upon a box from Barnes & Noble, I would want that book to be in it.

I swear only you think this way! Besides, wouldn't the box be soaking wet? :D

I recommend "Fast Food Nation" and anything by Cal Hiaasen - his bitterness about development in Florida (along with his crazy characters) is hilarious!

Lilith 12-31-2003 10:36 AM

^^^ Carl Hiaasen has also just written a great kid's book but I can't remember the title.

If you like Sci-Fi and want to read Robert A. Heinlein start with Time Enough for Love. I am currently rereading E.E. (Doc) Smith's LensMan series
