    Loved Prince of Tides by Pat Conroy. You might also try The Great Santini, his first book. A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Iriving - I'm rereading this for about the 10th time now. Just finished The Good Girl - Mary Kubics and One Kick - Chelsea Cain.

    .Lastly I'v just started 'The hundred year old man who climbed out the window and Disappeared' by Jonas Jonasson, which my goodreads suggested I would enjoy after reading (and LOVING) 'The Girl That Saved The King Of Sweden' by the same author. They're both entertaining, charming, smart, adventurous, and fun to read.:bigsmile:


    Read those two books recently, both really good, but think the 100 year old man one had the edge, laughed all the way through with that one!

    I'm also reading Outlander. I can't believe I waited so long to read such a wonderful story. I can hardly put the book down. And you say you read all of them. Every one of them amazing? hmmmm? I think my family misses me. :flowerforyou:

    Hopefully in the dark..in a silent house..where you can here every knock and creek of impending doom?

    Huge fan of Lovecraft!

    Imajica by Clive Barker. Very strange but very good I can't really describe it but if you like fantasy based on Earth try it

    I re-read this every 5-10 years. Amazingly weird. Love it.

    I just re-read the entire Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. The last book has been out a while but I have put off reading it because I knew it was the last one. I am down to the last 5% and it is bittersweet. I have been reading these books for twenty years and while I am enjoying the last book I am sad to finish it.

    George Saunders "Civilwarland in Bad Decline"--a collection of short stories. Awesome. I just finished 'Special Topics in Calamity Physics' by Marisha Pessl, which was also great, but took about 50 pages to get really into.

    I really enjoyed The Hundred Year Old Man! Had me laughing out loud at points :laugh:

    I'm currently reading The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt, which is excellent so far. It is quite slow going, it takes a while for anything to happen, and is painstaking about every detail even when it's unnecessary - but for all that, I'm really enjoying it.

    I just finished reading the first Game of Thrones book, which was outstanding. I'm a fantasy fan though :love:

    Just finished Ken Follett's "Winter of the World", the second in his latest trilogy. The first is "Fall of Giants", and the third, "The Edge of Eternity" was just published. Long, but very engaging.

    I just read Wolf Hall and Bring up the Bodies back to back. They were amazing. I am not a fan of historical fiction but this was something else. Brilliantly written, engaging and fascinating (author Hilary Mantell)

    I'm currently reading "Written in my own heart's blood" by Diana Gabaldon

    It's book 8 in the Outlander series, love the series and wish I had starz network so I could see how well they made the miniseries movies.

    I just finished Return of the King, and now I'm about to start Watership Down. I'm having a nostalgic, books-I-love year :)

    Lord of the Rings Trilogy and Watership Down are 2 of my all time favorites! Love love love them. Right now I am reading two books. The Golem of Hollywood by jonathon and Jesse Kellerman and How We Learn: The Surprising Truth About When Where and Why it Happens by Benedict Carey. I try to read non-fiction but it's hard for me to do that.

    Robin Hobbs' "The Rain Wilds" series.... very good. Also, for about the fifth time, "The Name Of The Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss, one of the best books of all time and one of the very, very few that actually deserves to stand with "The Lord Of The Rings".

    I just finished reading Ready Player One by Ernest Cline and it quickly became my new favourite book. I've never read anything quite like it before. I highly recommend it to anyone that likes geeky things and/or 80's pop culture. Aldous Huxley's Brave New World is next!
