Hi there. I'm the author of a new medieval fantasy series that you might like. The title of the first episode is THE BLACKGLOOM BOUNTY. It's 445 pages of action, adventure, magic, mystery and mayhem. If you are a fan of Conan, LOTR or Harry Potter books, this is one you'll enjoy. A Hollywood producer said it was, "Like Braveheart meets Lord of the Rings." (See other comments & reviews below.)
Good luck, whatever you decide to read!
Jon F. Baxley (Author, Editor, Ghostwriter and Proofreader)
THE SCYTHIAN STONE (eBook only)
THE BLACKGLOOM BOUNTY (eBook and hard cover)
THE REGENTS OF RHUM (coming fall '07)
Major Media Reviews:
Publishers Weekly
STARRED Review. A fast pace, sly humor, amusing dialogue and a richly researched background lift Baxley's fantasy, the first of a new series set in medieval Britain. When Merlin's long-ago apprentice Kruzurk Makshare (aka the Boozer) receives a dreamlike visitation from the legendary mage, he learns he must destroy another former apprentice, the villainous Seed of Cerberus. To do so will require a visit to the demon-guarded Blackgloom Keep. Enter young Daynin McKinnon, who discovers a curious rune-covered headstone, which may be the fabled Blackgloom Bounty, and brings it to Kruz's attention. Kruz believes it will provide entry into the fortress, while Daynin hopes the sale of the stone will restore his family's fortunes. The colorful cast of good guys and ne'er-do-wells includes the Pictish ghost of Brude McAlpin liberated from his tomb, assorted pursuing Caledonians and a bemused Prior Bede, whose monastery serves as a hiding place for the Blackgloom Bounty. Suitable for fantasy enthusiasts of all ages.

The best book I ever read was Settlers of the Marsh by Frederick Philip Grove. I'm sure you've heard of it and if you haven't read it you must. When I'm looking for a good book to read I try to stick to the classics, this usually ensures that I won't be disappointed. I suggest Death of a Salesman-Arthur Miller, Great Expectations-Charles Dickens, or Pride and Predjudice-Jane Austen. If you don't like these suggestions or you have already read them, then I suggest Black Fly Season-Giles Blunt or Wild Fire-Nelson DeMille.
Hope this helps!

I love reading Bill Bryson he has a book out called "The Thunderbolt Kid" with a free Africa notes from, small book for charity. For an American this guy has some humour; probably picked it up when living in Yorkshire

I don't know what kind of books you like, but I recently read a book by Peter Abrahams titled "End of Story." It had a few twists and was a good read. I highly recommend it. Let me know what you think, if you decide to read it, by emailing me.

Stephen King's "The Stand". It's a little long, but great writing.
