Hey LR. I`m open to anything really, as long as its a good read, something that will be hard to put down. Just no Chick Lit!

What genre do you like Richo and I'll come back to you?
Edit - Lol, Richo, I wouldn't do the chick lit thing to you! Some of my personal faves have been:
- Papillon (there is also the follow up 'Banco')
- Honor Among Thieves, Jeffrey Archer
- Tandia, Bryce Courtenay
- The Dark Tower Series (Stephen King - one of the best stories ever told)
- Jaws, Peter Benchley (don't laugh - the book rocks, he also wrote 'The Deep' and 'The Island' which were great too)
- David Copperfield, Charles Dickens
- The Stand, Stephen King
- White Teeth, Zadie Smith (hysterical)
- The collected short stories of H G Wells
Have a good weekend you

The Dune series by Frank Herbert. My personal favorites.
Lord of the Rings trilogy by Tolkien, always worth a read
Starship Troopers, by Robert Heinlein. Don't let the movie taint you, it's a great book.
The Cruel Sea, can't remember the author.

The Namesake, Jhumpa Lahiri
One of the most beautiful pieces of contemporary literature I have ever read.
