something with a more emotional slant than what most have been recommending is anything by jody picoult. i just finished handle with care and it was good, but didnt come close to my sister's keeper or 19 minutes. if you liked bridget jone's you'll love the shopoholic series as well as sophie kinsella. and yes, i have read all those. i am consumate reader and read everything.

ok for some that i would typically lean towards when i am not reading the books on my wife's side of the bed...
- ANYTHING by china meiville. the scar is just phenomenal.
- fear and odd thomas series by koontz
- dune series by frank herbert. VERY dense writing, but if you can get through it, mind blowing.
- the lucifer principle by howard bloom. a fantastic explanation of how 'evil' has benefited specific society segments and their advancement.
- oliver sacks.. except one of his latest ones about music. total snoozefest, but his others are fascinating.
- alice sebold - lovely bones was cool.. lucky was heartwrenching and the almost moon was.. odd.

that should keep you busy just on researching the titles lol

Any book by Tom Clancy I recommend. Also I am reading "Mountie Makers: Putting the Canadian in the RCMP" by Robert Gordon Teather. Tells about life at the Training Depot(where I hope to be by summer time [Big Grin] ).

Nice thread. I love reading.

I grew up reading a lot of Michael Crichton and Stephen King. I read Jurassic Park when I was 11, and it owned my life. The film is still one of my favourites. I was also heavy into King's "Dark Tower" series many years ago. I followed it through the fourth installment, Wizard and Glass, which remains one of the most interesting things I've ever read. King took a major hiatus with those books after that, and I never picked them back up. By the time he resumed them, I had moved on to other authors and interests. I understand he's finished the series by now.

I really enjoyed "Solaris" by Stanislaw Lem as a teenager. Must have read it 4 or 5 times by now. Lem was a brilliant Polish sci-fi author who utilized a great deal of philosophy and satire in his work.

Solaris is about "the ultimately futile attempt to communicate with an alien life-form on a distant planet. The planet, called Solaris, is covered with a so-called 'ocean' that seems to really be a single organism covering the entire surface. The ocean shows signs of a vast but strange intelligence, which can create physical phenomena in a way that science has difficulty explaining. The alien mind of Solaris is so inconceivably different from human consciousness that all attempts at communication are doomed (the 'alienness' of aliens was one of Lem's favourite themes; he was scornful about portrayals of aliens as humanoid)." (Wikipedia) A really haunting and tragic story. It was adapted for film by Andrei Tarkovsky in the 70s...touted as Russia's answer to "2001: A Space Odyssey". Great film, very trippy. Stay away from the 2002 George Clooney adaptation. It is poison!

Post-high school I've been a real Thomas Pynchon fiend. Started with Mason & Dixon, then Against the Day, and currently reading Gravity's Rainbow. Very post-modern historical fiction. I'd recommend them all. I find that man's words so curiously satisfying to read. He could run a sentence on for pages and I wouldn't begrudge him, he's so damn good at it.

The World Series. It was put together by Josh Leventhal. It's a comprehensive look back of what happened at each World Series. If you're a baseball fanatic, this book can really help you get a good understanding of how the history of the game changed throughout the decades.
