Can anyone recommend some good reading?

Question

I like reading Stephen King, Laurell K Hamilton, I am reading the Dresden series by Jim Butcher right now. I need some ideas after I'm done. Anyone have suggestions?

Answer 1

THE BIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

Anything by Matthew Reilly. Also James Rollins, Chris Kuzneski, James Doss, John Dunning, David Weber, John Ringo's new series is great(1. GHOST, 2. KILDAR, 3. CHOOSERS OF THE SLAIN). Wen Spencer writes alternate sci-fi that is totally weird, but is good stuff. Cannot remember the guy from the early 70's who wrote horror, but he was the best and had a hero through several books. Dresden files are being made into a movie, saw a trailer for one of the stories and it looks good too. Waiting patiently for February 11, 2007 for GHOST RIDER with Nicholas Cage, previews are fantastic. Books are my forte though, I have read well over 575,000 of them in my life and I am still going; maybe not strong; but ongoing. Happy reading and may fortune always smile upon you and yours. P.S. and older book by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle entitled LUCIFER'S HAMMER is another end of the world book that is a classic today, great read.

Answer 3

Here is a list of *some* of the authors in my "library"...

Anne Rice (Witches and Vampires)
Jean Auel
Dean Koontz
Robin Cook
Tom Clancy
Patricia Cornwell
Jeffrey Deaver
Nora Roberts
Diana Gabaldon
James Patterson
John Connelly
Jonathan Kellerman

I enjoy them all, but I would have to say Cornwell, Gabaldon, King, Rice, and Hamilton are my absolute faves.

Happy Reading and Happy New Year..

Answer 4

The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

Answer 5

Anything by Dean Koontz.

Alas Babylon by Pat Frank. Wonderful read, a classic about a group of people in a small town in Florida who survive atomic war. They face life without electricity or phones, and must gather and hunt all their food. They struggle with the criminal element, medical crisis, and fear of radiation. It's a bit dated, but still a page turner.

Answer 6

John Saul

Answer 7

Try East of Eden by John Steinback, I'm reading that right now and I think it's a really great read, a little long though.

Answer 8
