Books I think everyone should read

Hey! What's wrong with Dean Koontz & Stephen King?????

(Let's face it, I can't read Thomas Aquinas forever....)

Indeed!

Personally, I like good old fairy stories and children's books. Not the new garbage, but the ones from away back when (can you tell I like C. S. Lewis yet )

I'm not a huge fan of Koontz, but as seen in my other thread, I'm a big King fan. I'm currently reading The Stand for the first time. It's taken me a good 30 some-odd chapters, but SK has finally "got me hooked" on this one.

Wow, lots o' great stuff! I would add that if you need a little nonfiction and a good laugh, read If Chins Could Kill, an autobiography by Bruce Campbell. It's a hoot!

[O'Neille]

The Clowns of God by Morris West

The Blood Seed: A Novel of India by Andrew Ward

[Mark Keeney]

I usually don't read much. (Can't sit still long enough)
But, I liked:
"Orbit" by John Nance
The "Brother Cadfael" series by Ellis Peters (Pargeter)

[McMurdo]

I just finished reading
How the Scots Invented the Modern World: The True Story of How Western Europe's Poorest Nation Created Our World and Everything in It
by Arthur Herman

It was a good book, I quite enjoyed it, and have already passed it off to my brother.

Most of my favorites have already been listed, but one trilogy is missing.

If you want a "different" read where the main character is an anti-hero try:
"The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant The Unbeliever" by Stephen R. Donaldson.
