I know it is about impossible to pick just one. Just curious - and looking for a few good books I may have overlooked.

I would have to say Anne Rice, J.K. Rowling, and Stephen King.
Recommendations:
1. Anne Rice's Mayfair Witch Trilogy is awesome, along with "The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty" trilogy
2. J.K. Rowling's Harry Potters
3. Stephen King's "Dark Half" and "Eyes fo the Dragon"

Check out Michael Faber. He has an amazing imagination and his stories are jsut so interesting and different from one another. Try "The Crimson Petal and The White." I read that first and have read it several times since. Then I went to Amazon and bought everything he's had published. "Under the Skin" is also a great read.

Hi Margie,
Patrick O'Brian, Lois McMaster Bujold and Harry Turtledove.
On another subject, merging genealogy data bases, I tried to reply to your message, but it said you hadn't confirmed your address, so it didn't go through.
You might want to try Roots Magic. It is the sucessor to Family Origins for Windows. You can download a trial copy, I think, or buy a copy for $29.
I have used FO and now RM for 8 years. To merge data bases with it you create a new one, then import GEDCOMs from the other data bases one at a time. You get the option of merging individuals one by one (You pick the two by hand and say "Merge") or letting it do it. If you let it do it, it gives you a range of options; for instance, one of them is to merge everyone with the same AF number. You can merge people if their dirth dates match exactly or within a year, and so forth.
Finally, there is a mixed method; you can tell it to find identical individuals to merge (same criteria as above) but to ask you before it does it. Then all you do is click yes, no, no, no, yes . . .
It has problems with people we all have - "Mary xxx", no dates, wife of Ebeziah Snooter. I have a couple of hundred people in the "xxx" family, 2/3rds of them women, most named Mary or Polly or Ann/Anne/Anna. The "ask me" mode is tedious but it beats working by hand.
