Books.....

[KillerBs]

I dont know how many of you read but i would like to start, i am wondering if you guys can tell me good books, im thinking about buying Fredrick Douglass's Biography and Teddy Rosevelts..

[Broncofan-13]

Im an avid reader, but I prefer fiction. If you like horror books, steven king and dean koontz are good.

If you like straight fantasy, RA salvatore and basically anything in forgotten realms is good.

if you lik surreal fiction, Simon R green books make for a god read.


..but thats just me.

DaVinci code? Eragon and the Eldest.

[NameUsedBefore]

I read horror mostly and I recommend H.P. Lovecraft (the source of all inspiration to modern science-fiction and horror stories, movies, and games); Stephen King; and Clive Barker (his stuff gets old as it is basically blood and gore, but you can find the occasional gem).

Books?

Do you mean magazines?


What are these books you speak of?

[redbirdy80]

If you like thrillers, anything by James Patterson's good. I especially like the ones with a detective named Alex Cross... They all have nursery rhymes in the titles (Along Came a Spider, Jack and Jill, Kiss the Girls, etc.)

If you like smart-aleck, literate detectives, I highly recommend the Spenser series by Robert B. Parker. Also, I like most of John Grisham and Michael Crighton (sp.) and the Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings series.

BTW, my cheapness is forcing me to wait for the Da Vinci Code to come out in paperback - anyone have any idea when that may be?

"To Kill A MockingBird" by Harper Lee is one of the best books I have ever read.

You might want to try checking that one out.

I like Steven King, but I've noticed that over the years his passion has seemed to dwindle (just my opinion). He's still my favorite. I've read some Anne Rice stuff (not bad). Dean Koontz has held my attention for awhile.

I'm a bit of a history fan, particularly 476 to around 1000 AD (dark ages).

I've also read Ghost Wars, The Secret History of the CIA, Afganistan.... not a bad read. I'm a speed reader so it doesn't take me long to go through one.

I thought it already did! If it didn't, I'm sure you could find it at a half price books.

I can finish a 700 pagebook in 3 hours if I get into it. i know what you mean.

King has long some of his luster, but I was refering to the classics. It, cujo, the stand, etc.


for kids who are mature enough to read king, but dont want to jump in with both feet, I recommend reading eyes of the dragon first. the gunslinger series was good also.

go speedreaders!

Good idea except I know from experience that libraries tend to have a run on books around the time a movie based on the book comes out and I am not the type to go to the library every day to check.

I looked at Barnes and Noble and Borders and it was still full price, but I guess I'll keep trying. I though for sure the paperback would come out now that the movie is so close.

You want to see if there's a used bookstore in your area. There's a chain called "Half Price Books" in Cincinnati, where you can get hardcover books for a fraction of the original price. It's a great store, and if they have one in your area, you'll be sure to find a copy. Otherwise, Amazon always has deals on books.
