Question

I am looking for suggestions of good books to bring with me on vacation. I enjoy romances and mysteries. Anyone read anything good they can recommend? Thanks!

Answer 1

since u love romance and mysteries try in the garden series by Nora Roberts its awesome it's one of those that grab u the first time u pick it up and don't want to put it down.
Happy Reading and have an awesome vacation!!!

Answer 2

The DaVinci Code. The book is SO much better than the movie, and if u read the book, u can understand the movie better. But be warned, if ur Christian, be very strong in the faith u have. The book is FICTION, but the author does a good job in making u think it isn't, and if ur just a bit shakey, then ur beliefs will be either changed or ur gonna question them, so to avoid that, BE STRONG for Christ and everything he stood for and the religion is professing to u about HIM.

Answer 3

The O'Malley Series by Dee Henderson! Great Mysteries!
and The Witness, Same author :)

Answer 5

I just recently finished Prince of Foxes. It's historical fiction with lots of action, romance and suspense. It was written back in '49 but you can't tell that reading it. It's a little slow for the first couple of chapters but once it get's going it doesn't stop.

Answer 6

Just about anything by Dean Koontz. 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night' was a great book, extremely funny, and touching. 'Life of Pi' is also a great book (one of my favorites). a little hard to get into at first, but once you get to a certain point in the book, it is amazing! But if you want mystery (sometimes a little horror), most of dean koontz's novels are your best bet.

Answer 7

nicely everyones flavor is diverse. in case your no longer afraid of massive books i'd say you need to attempt The Lord Of The rings trilogy. They promote a three-in-one. yeah yeah it really is a nerd e book, besides the undeniable fact that it sucks you in, no lies. i have examine the Anne Rice vampire chronicles. there is like 10.. or 11 books in the sequence; i'm able to't submit to in innovations I examine them at the same time as i become your age. . it really is unique, it really is not any longer fruity like twilight and all of that jazz. i'm putting out to verify some classics. properly this second i'm workin my way through David Copperfield, Crime and Punishment, and Les Miserables. yet another good one I examine, which isn't to assert as confusing because the others, yet nevertheless fairly pleasing, is The Talisman through Peter Straub and Stehphen King. there's a 2d e book to it too, besides the undeniable fact that it really is not any longer just about as good. i'd say look into some philosophy too in case your keen on serious wondering, i lately had philosophy class at my community college and our professor become mind-blowing! i'm gonna commence on some previous stuff like Plato quickly.

Answer 8

years ago I read the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy (actually I started with the "Hobbit") and read it over 6 weeks in summer. I've read it several times since (slower and in-doors).

Piers Anthony is a good author too. Check out the "Incarnations of Immortality" series...start with "On a Pale Horse"

Paul Theroux's "Ozone" is another...

How many books do you want to read?

Answer 9

Try the collected works of A. C. Doyle. The Sherlock Holmes stories have a bit of everything in good mix. You also can't go wrong with Shakespear either.

Answer 10

I see many good suggestions here. I'd like to add THE PROFESSOR'S DAUGHTER by Emily Raboteau. A young biracial woman deals with identity issues relating to her older idolized brother, her distant father, her fragile mother. A good first novel and an appropriate companion to THE COLOR OF WATER.
