Topic: Book Recommendations | |
---|---|
Just be adventurous....Find what you think would appeal to you, or just chance it. Ya' got nothing to lose. I actually said what appeals to me. Not that it will stop me from reading other books. I guess I just give a little info when I recommend books to others, that's all. Be it about the author or book. |

Anything written by Dean Koontz is pretty good. And Chronicles of Amber is really good.

Replay by Ken Grimwood
Jeff Winston is a middle aged man who has a heart attack and wakes up twenty-five years earlier in the past. He awakens to discover he has the knowledge of the future and only he seems to remember it. Along the way he changes history and makes thought provoking choices and meditations on those choices. He dies again at the same age twenty five years later and has to relive it all again. After a while these cycles, or replays, begin to drive Jeff over the edge.... |

One of the most well written books I've ever read...
Kushiel's Dart by Jacqueline Carey. "This brilliant and daring debut... catapults Carey immediately into the top rank of fantasy novelists.... an assured and magnificent book that will appeal to both male and female readers." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) and anything by Chuck Palahniuk seriously... man wrote fight club pygmy stranger than fiction choke all brilliant books! he's gritty and strong and very very unforgiving with his writing. I absolutely love it. |

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini or
A Thousand Splendid Suns by the same author. Both are terrible tragic stories beautifully told. The Kite Runner was made into a movie that totally sucked. |

I'd like to see some book recommendations here. You can recommend something you really like, or others can ask for recommendations. What I like to read the most are mysteries/thrillers or fun chick lit type stuff. So, does anyone have a recommendation along those lines? |
