I'm in a book club and am looking for interesting books to present in 2007. Have you read any books that you would would like me to consider? The only prerequisite is it needs to be in paperback to keep the cost down to our members. Thank you!

Great! I don't have a list of interesting books, but I do have a list of the authors' that write the books. You can pick up almost all of them at a used book store or discount house. Here is the list:
Robert L. Stevenson, Iris Johannsen, Erle Stanley Gardner, Matthew Reilly, Raymond Feist, H. Rider Haggard, H. Beam Piper, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Jules Verne, Fred Saberhagen, Roger Zelazny, Timothy Zann, Douglas Preston, William W. Johnstone, S. M. Stirling, Alan Dean Foster, Eldon Thompson, Justin Scott, W.E.B.Griffon, Robert Parker, Marion Zimmer Bradley, Louis L'Amour, David Gibbins, Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child, Clive Cussler, James Rollins, James Doss, John Dunning, John Ringo, Eric Flint, David Weber, (the late)David Gemmel, Dennis McKiernan, Andre Norton, Stuart Woods, J.A.Jance, Jane Lindskold, Mercedes Lackey, Trudi Canavan, Holly Lisle, Jack duBrul.

Sci Fi author Robert Charles Wilson comes up with some unique concepts, like all humans one day falling asleep at the same time and being given the choice of immortality or mortality in thier dream. Called "the Harvest". "A hidden plac" was about two aliens stranded on earth and trying to find eachother, the male and female were both the ultimate masculine/feminine stereotypes. The female being fragile and beautiful like a butterfly winged fairy, and in danger around human males because they wanted her, and the male was like this big gruff testosterone neanderthal that was violent.

Richard Bachman books. Stephen King before he got a book deal.Your group would probably like "The Long Walk," and "The Running Man" very poignant social commentary.
