Favorite Books

[Thequeen]

There has been alot of threads bout movies and music so I thought I would start one about books. I have started reading a book that I had wanted for a while. I thought I would put this up to get ideas of other good books to read... The book I am reading is The 48 Laws of Power. By Robert Greene. I am thinking after I will also grab his other book The Art of Seduction.

So let me hear it guys what books have you read that you would say is a must read book????

To Kill a Mocking Bird, The Kite Runner, The Gospel according to Biff, Christ's Childhood Friend, Life of Pi, Island of the Sequined Love Nun, too many to list...

And the book is ALWAYS better than the movie!

Any book by Elmore Leonard, Michael Connelly, or Lee Childs.

I go through phases when I read quite a bit...so it would be hard to pick specific favorites.
I think The Invitation, by Oriah Mountain Dreamer is a great one.
and I can read just about anything by Stephen King, Dean Koontz, or Laurell K Hamilton.

Bram Stoker's Dracula, early Anne Rice and of course my fav, anything to do with abnormal psych.

The Anna Pigeon Series by Nevada Barr (has a heroine park ranger that kicks ass)

Beverly Connor series; she has two Diane Fallon and Lindsay Chamberlin

Kathy Reichs Temperance Brennan series

Jefferson Bass: He writes a fictional series about real life cases at the Body Farm at the University of Tennesee

For you Allie, I will suggest Stranger in a Strange Land.


Oh, I just realized. No, I suggested it for Heinlein, not to suggest that you might be strange.

Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand Still very relevant 50 years later.

The 5,000 Year Leap, Atlas Shrugged, The Foundation Trilogy, Swan Song, Lonesome Dove, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich (pay attention to the political tactics of the 20s and 30s, they look familiar), and The Happy Hooker.
