Answer 2

I just finished WELL OF LOST PLOTS by Jasper Fforde. This is the third in a series of novels that revolve around the character Thursday Next. Thursday lives in a parallel world in which certain people can move in and out of the plots of books. The world that Fforde has created is amazing. Thursday's job as Special Ops 27 is to protect the integrity of literature from those who would change the plotline for their own profit.
The author has a website thursdaynext.com.
The first book in the series is THE EYRE AFFAIR.

Answer 5

Ok different genres

Non fiction - 'The Tao of Physics' by F.Capra. Ameeting of science and spirituality. Very intersting.
Fiction . FOr something funny. 'Going Postal' by Terry Pratchett from discworld series. Instead of being hanged, a con artist gets offer of running the Post office, which has all sorts of metaphysical problems. very, very funny!
Fiction. Victorian era? I really, really liked 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen.
A book called "One" by Richard Bach. I don't know what to make of it, except that its captivating. Also 'Jonathan LIvingston Seagull' by same author. This Zen like story about a seagull! I've had a lot of time to read during these holidays!

Answer 6

Dresden file book series by Jim Butcher.There are 8 books in the series beginning with stormfront.Each novel in the series is told from the fictional perspective of Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden (named by his father after Harry Houdini, Harry Blackstone, Sr., and David Copperfield). Dresden is the only professional wizard in modern-day Chicago (he is in the phone book, under "Wizards").In the world of The Dresden Files, magic is real, along with vampires, demons, spirits, faeries, werewolves, and more. The general public that Harry Dresden works to protect does not believe in magic or the large array of dark forces which regularly conspire against them. This makes it tough for Harry to get by as a working wizard and private eye.He is aided by Bob,a talking skull.Karrin Murphy-a police officer and Thomas-a white court vampire.

Brother Odd by Dean Koontz is the third book in his Odd Thomas series. Poor Odd has been through so much in the last couple of years. He lost Stormy, the love of his life, he's given up his job and his home to move into seclusion at a California mountainside monastery in hopes that his "gift" for seeing the dead won't be an issue up there. Instead he finds a poltergeist monk and evil spirits gathering around the young disabled children the monks (and nuns) care for. Odd knows that trouble is coming, and as usual he's the only one to recognize it.Can Odd mitigate the coming cataclysm? Of course he can, despite the arrival of murderous bone creatures and grim Death itself, for the monks include quite a contingent of reformed martial sinners, most memorably Brother Knuckles, formerly of the New Jersey Mob, and another guest, a mysterious Russian librarian from Indianapolis, who is more and different than Odd thinks he is.

Answer 7

I'm reading On The Road, by Jack Kearac. It's interesting, reads differently. I suppose it's considered a classic.

Answer 8

"Thinking in Pictures" by Temple Grandin
It is a story about her life, she is autistic and possibly the world's leading authority on designing animal handling facilities. The book explains how she (and so many autistics) experience the world differently than neuro-typical ("normal") people. Even if you do not know anyone who is autistic or are not studying autism it is an incredible book to read. It is a wonderful insight on how people experience the same things differently and I found it to be very enlightening.

Answer 9

Meg Cabot is an amazing author, any of her books for adults are really good (example: Boy Meets Girl). Also the Undead and Unwed series by Maryjanice Davidson.
