Answer 4

I have just finished reading all the Dan Brown books. The DaVinci Code, Angels and Demons, Deception point, and Digital Fortress. I am not much of a reader because It's hard for me to find a book that grabs my attention right from the get go but these books are so exciting and I found myself reading non stop for 3 or 4 days until I finished each one then I would run to the store and grab the next one because I was hooked. I am happy to say that I am now into reading because of these books and I recommend them to anyone.

Answer 5

Well, I always loved Anne Rice, till her stuff started going down hill, but there is one of two pages of wonderful pictures, Weetzie Bat series by Francescia Lia Block, Utopia by Sir Thomas More, *i*ch Possee by Marth O'Conner. I don't read any thrillers, well I have one or two, and I need to know what your into so I can look at all of my books and tell you what is good and what is not. So, tell me your weakness in books, then I'll have a better idea. Short stories include Anton Chekvoc , The Bet, James Thurder The Unicorn in the Garden. Or Prayer For Owen Meany by John Irving.

Answer 6

That depends on what genre you're interested in. If you want a really good "feel good" book, read "Marley & Me", by John Grogan, in which he tells the story of the family dog, Marley, a true character if ever there was one. If you like paranormal/sci-fi/fantasy, the "Dresden Files" series by Jim Butcher is a good choice, as is the Southern Vampire Series, by Charlaine Harris. If you like more romance, with a lot of laughter thrown in, Jennifer Crusie's "Fast Women" will have you rolling, or Katie MacAlister's "Corset Diaries." Both are contemporary romances, are very well written and are hilarious. If you enjoy time-travel romances, you can't do better than Lynn Kurland's books, "Dreams of Stardust," and a sequel, "Stardust of Yesterday." Another hot time travel romance series includes books by Karen Marie Moning, "The Highlander's Touch," "Kiss of the Highlander," "The Dark Highlander," etc. Good historical fiction? If you like your books set in the 16th century, Dorothy Dunnett is, in my opinion, one of the best authors around. And if you need any more recommendations, just ask :-).

Answer 7

A Dog's Life by Peter Mayle
Marley and Me
The Joy Luck Club
The Blue Bottle Club
To Kill a Mockingbird

Answer 8

The Great Books of the Western World by Encyclopaedia Brittanica.

Answer 9

James Michener was my favorite author, and my favorite book was "Hawaii" because I love Hawaii and the book is a fictional though accurate account of its history. "Caravans" is about Afghanistan, also a fictional but accurate history. "The Source" is particularly important--it, too, is a fictional history set in a fictional archaeological site, Makor, and it traces the history of human civilization and religion in the middle east. As such it goes a long way to giving an accurate background to the struggles going on in that part of the world now. None of his books are short, easy reads, but they are compelling stories and informative. Of those three, "The Source" would be most important to read at this time. Happy reading!

Answer 10

The Alchemist

The Caretaker of Tree Palace
