pudidotdk Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 I've read a few Dan Brown, I liked them although they are very identical.The Harry Potter books are also quite good. Not a big bookworm though
fight fire with fire Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Damm i used to read a shit load of books, but know hardly any. I guess anthony horowitz is my favourite author.
mormanman Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 I haven't finished yet but The Five People You Meet in Heaven. It unfolding rather nice.
Mumbles Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 I've been reading a few books by Mary Roach lately. They're actually pretty funny for being scientifically based. One is called Stiff, and is about the historical and research uses of cadavers. There is a bit on cremation, and other forms of disposal. The one I am reading currently is called Spook. It's about the search for the human soul, and what happens after we die. It's not as good as the other one, but still pretty interesting.
mormanman Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 You guys know how I said that I was reading The Five People You Meet in Heaven, well I finished a while ago and I have to say it is a good book. Easy to read. I highly recomend it.
crazyboy25 Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 hmmm not sure what my favorite is but i just finished day of the jackal which i liked.
bmarley5780 Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 I am a Dean Koontz fan. I like the topics, and subjects that are the backbone in his books ie: hypnosis, depervation tanks, sci-fi, etc.
qwezxc12 Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 I'm a big fan of Steven Erikson's "Malazan Book's of the Fallen" series. They're incredibly well developed, complex, and (best of all) run 700-800 pages. I order them from the UK so I don't have to wait for them to be published here. I also like: Glenn CookPeter HamiltonNeal Stephenson And I loved "Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell" by Susanna Clarke. Awesome tale of Victorian-era English magic.
