any good ones out there??

Question

I'm on winter break right now and i'd like to get some fun reading in before text book season comes around again!! any good ones you have read lately??

Answer 1

I found "Turning Angel" alright. As well, "Angels and Demons" is another half decent new paperback.

If your looking for older, good books I would recommend "The Source" by James Michener, "Roots" or "Sherlock Holmes". You could always fire up the classics like "The Swiss Family Robinsons" or "Tom Sawyer".

Answer 2

Dresden file book series by Jim Butcher.There are 8 books in the series beginning with stormfront.It narrates the story of Harry Dresden,chicago's only professional wizard who works as a detective.He stands between the general population who is ignorant about the supernatural world and the monsters - vampires,werewolves,fallen angels,fey.He is aided by Bob,a talking skull.Karrin Murphy-a police officer and Thomas-a white court vampire.

Dance with the devil by Sherrilyn Kenyon.The following review is taken from Amazon

Zarek was mad, bad and more than a little insane, and now everyone wants him dead. But hey, that was nothing new to this loner. Born the bastard son of a Roman nobleman and a Greek slave, Zarek had known a lifetime of abuse, torture and humiliation.

It takes a very special woman to see past that hostility and find the lost, unloved boy inside. Happily, Astrid is such a woman (or demigoddess, actually). Her empathy, patience and unconditional love make the perfect foil for Zarek's personal demons. They truly are a match made in heaven -- or should I say Mt. Olympus?

Scaramouche by Rafael Sabatini.When his best friend, a young clergyman, is killed in a mockery of a duel by an arrogant noble, just to quiet his eloquent expressions of democratic ideals, Andre-Louis Moreau vows revenge. From that point, through meteoric careers as a consummate actor and scenario writer, then as a fencing master, and finally a politician, the brilliant Moreau keeps thwarting the aims of the aristocratic Marquis de la Tour d'Azyr. However, the nobleman causes pain to Moreau as well, and the time must come when the two will meet to settle their enmity once and for all. You are not likely to guess how their confrontation finally turns out. Set against the backdrop of the French Revolution, this swashbuckling novel is exciting throughout, and it presents one of the most dashing heroes in fiction, a man who can fight equally well with his mind, his mouth, his pen, and his sword, a man who stirs up events wherever he goes.

Landslide by Desmond Bagley.Bob Boyd wakes up in a hospital with no memory,the only surviver of an accident.He was burned badly all over and needed extensive plastic surgery which was payed by a mysterious sponser.He is told that he's a geology student with a bad past.However Bob recovers and gets on with his life.Hired by the powerful Matterson Corporation to survey land before they build a great new dam, he begins to uncover the shaky foundations of the Matterson family and becomes a fly in their ointment.His accident and the Matterson family have more in common than he thought.

Rebecca Paisley-A basket of wishes.
Its about a fairy Splendour who is ordered to marry a human( a duke).The poor hero is confused by the woman who will shrink if not kissed regularly,drinks apricot face lotion.On top of that he is harassed by splendour's sister who even turns him into a snail.His cousin Emil thinks that Splendour is exactly what the doctor ordered for the staid ,boring Jordan.

Answer 3

If you like fantasy, than I would suggest Piers Anthony's Xanth series. It starts with a spell for chamealoen.
Other than that, try Elizabeth Kerner's books. The Song in the silence is the first.
These are both really good fantasy books. I would suggest Xanth if you want sone light fiction.

Answer 4

I like the Lilian Jackson Braun "Cat Who" books. It's a detective series about a man who solves mysteries with the help of his two Siamese cats. Quick, fun and easy reads. You'll find them at the local library.

Answer 5

Ghost soldiers (the book that the movie "The Great Raid" was based on) by Hampton Sides

Answer 7

'fun reading' would definitely be the 'Stephanie Plum' series by Janet Evanovich ('one for the money,' 'two for the dough,' 'three to get deadly,' etc). they are *hilarious* and suspenseful, and she does such a great job describing what's going on that you can really 'see' it ... highly recommended! ;)

Answer 8

War and Peace

Answer 9

Watch CNN.
