    i'm part of an awesom ebook club, and by far the BEST BEST book i've ever read was The Alchemist. I'm a somewhat cynical person, but it gave me hope. Absolutely life changing.

    THIS!
    so good.

    also Cat's Cradle (Kurt Vonnegut) and Something Wicked This Way Comes (Ray Bradbury) and Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil (John Berendt)
    Depends on what you like. I like sci-fi/Fantasy. (because I get enough reality in real life- I like to eescape reality when I read)

    Some of my favortires are:
    ...

    C.S.Lewis's Space Trilogy (Out of the silent planet, Perelandra, Thatt Hideous Strength- they are quick reads, short books)

    People, people, people....Did you see him say that he's not an avid reader and gets bored easily!?! There's no point suggesting some massive literary tome just so that we can impress each other with our intellect! The whole object of the thread is to give him something he will read!!!!!

    :laugh:

    I'm reading Rules of Prey by John Sanford. Not a massive literary tome, but an easy, maybe guy kind of, action-thriller. Great read, and I'm looking forward to reading a couple more in the series.

    I hated The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Read 100 pages and was just bored. A book really has to grip me in the first chapter or two in order for me to stick with it.

    Loved the Hitchhiker books.

    My husband and I just finished the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs. We both loved it!!

    The Eragon series by Christopher Paolini and Wicked were a couple of my husbands favorites.

    Harry Potter!
    It's my obsession. It's been my favourite ever since I first read it over 10 years ago. Although I'm aware that the simple writing style makes it not for everybody.

    Her writing style is actually very sophisticated, especially starting in book 4. It's EASY to read, but it isn't simple. It's a very complex and well-developed story.

    Agreed. I didn't read the books until I was 22. Especially towards the last 2-3 there is so much going on and so many characters, I surprised myself by keeping up.

    And I fell in love.

    I don't know if everyone should read him but I absolutely love Lee Child's Jack Reacher series-men and women can't get enough of Jack (not Daniels but Reacher:laugh: )
