what would you say is your favorite book it could be anything....have a suggeset about a good book...tell me i well read it

If you haven't read the DaVinci Code or Angels & Demons by Dan Brown, run, don't walk to your bookstore or library. These 2 are fantastic!

Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut or 1984 by George Orwell.

i well check them out

Lord of the Rings series by Tolkien, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, Animal Farm and 1984 (like sputnik said) by George Orwell, the Hitchhiker's Guide series by Douglas Adams, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, Ender's Game (and most subsequent novels) by Orson Scott Card, A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and A Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne, The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells, and The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand are all good reads. And don't get me wrong, I have plenty more recommendations...like some of Poe's short stories, or Dune...egad, now you've got me started...

Really tough to choose just one... but if I can only pick one for now it is still after all these years... East of Eden.

A short list of some favs ...

Kon Tiki ~ Thor Heyerdahl
The Pawnbroker ~ Edward Lewis Wallant
In cold blood ~ Truman Capote
Treasure of the Sierra Madres ~ B. Traven
Lord Jim ~ Joseph Conrad
Mr. Roberts ~ Thomas Heggen
It can't happen here ~ Sinclair Lewis
Endurance ~ Alfred Lansing
The Motorcycle diaries ~ Che Guevara

At last someone who does not only read science fiction or thrillers (not that i dislike these but they seem to be a bit overrated here).
From your list I only read "In coldblood" and I have to agree with you : it's worth recommanding !


I would add : anything by Jim Harrison ;
Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter Thompson
Microserfs and Generation X by Douglas Coupland
Jennifer Government by Max Barry.

My Sweet Audrina - V.C. Andrews
The Cutler Series - V/C/ Andrews
The Black Jewel Trlogy - Anne Bishop

ooh the black jewel trilogy! i read that. i really liked it, except for the fact that i couldn't relate to any of the characters at all. it was pretty upsetting, actually.

I already have enough fantasy in my life Astra ... I try to stick to non-fiction, particularily revolutionary events/people, adventurers and the standards/classics that resulted in major motion pictures. And of course, a good conspiracy theory is always fashionable.

I'm currently re-reading ... Executive Action ~ Donald Freed / Mark Lane. Conspiracy theory (pretty well documented and researched) about the JFK assassination. It's been around a while (1973) but still worth a (re)read.

Next up -- BANCO ~ Henri Charriere. Yes -- that's the same Henri Charriere we've all come to know and love as Papillon -- this book brings to life the story of Papillon after his release from prison and his subsequent years living in Venezuela. Anyone that's a 'Great Escape' fan or a 'Cool Hand Luke' fan should read Papillon and Banco back to back.

There are too many books to chose from ... these are some of my favorites though

I really enjoyed Night by Elie Wiesel, The Autobiography of Malcolm X by Alex Haley, The Dark Half by Stephen King, Dreamcatcher by Stephen King, The Regulators by Stephen King, Gerald's Game by Stephen King...I like Stephen King.

I just read a great book about the MOSSAD by a former agent. it was released 15 years ago but it's still related to todays news.
I also read a couple of books about cultural differences between western and "southern" societies. Quite interesting.
