    Life Expectancy - Dean Koontz

    One of my favorite books ever. It's so off the wall. And it has a man named Punchinello in it. :P

    Good omens is ridiculously great as well. Again - off the wall humor kind of thing.

    I second Good Omens! Neil Gaiman is amazing as well.

    A Time to Kill by John Grisham
    The Alex Cross books by James Patterson
    Lone Survivor by Marcus Latrell...AMAZING (but I may be biased)

    A friend went to one of Marcus' signings and bought me a copy of his book. I've heard it's great. It's waiting on my TBR stack.

    I've loved reading this thread and now have my list of books to read next!

    Game of Thrones, and all the books in the series (some of the best I've ever read, hands down)
    And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie (great mystery)
    The Stand (excellent epic - long, but a fantastic story)
    Currently reading and enjoying Lucifer's Hammer (I love apocalyptic fiction!)

    So many books, so little time....

    To Kill a Mockingbird. I read it in high school for English class and it has stuck with me ever since as one of the most poignant books I have ever read. I may just read it again to see how my teenage mind compares to my almost-40 mind.

    such an amazing book

    The Bible.

    It will change your life.

    A little irony: grew up in church learning all about the Bible. I can still recite all of the New Testament chapters from memory! Decided to read the Bible for real when I was out of college (not just devotionals like I used to, started from page 1 to the end). Now I'm an agnostic atheist!

    Some messed up stuff in that book!

    I've read the Bible all the way through several times and I'm still a Christian.

    Some wonderful stuff in that book! :smile:

    Atlas Shrugged

    My middle name is Ayn because my father was reading that book when they were bandying about names for me... yet I only just downloaded it and I cannot get past the first 2 pages... I'm an AVID reader... what's the clue to this one?

    Keep going. Get past the first chapter. If you're a reader you will be very glad you did. It's so amazing I couldn't read anything else after it for months. Ayn was a genius. Have you read any of her other books?

    I agree wholeheartedly! It kept me awake nights even though I had to get up early for work. Sometimes I would wake up in the middle of the night and just have to read another chapter. The Fountainhead and We, The Living are also good books by Rand which send out a wake-up call on the subject of socialism.

    I agree with Atlas Shrugged also. Another one that nobody has mentioned yet is The Overton Window by . . . dun dun dun . . . Glenn Beck.

    Bro!! one of the greatest most amazing books I've ever read is a low key novel... "the carpet baggers" it's epic

    Another good one! And when you finish that, read all the others by Harold Robbins. They're all books that hold one's interest.

    I actually have not read any of her books. My father was not a reader (for fun) and that may be my block with this writer because he was so caught up in her...

    I will give it a real shot as my next book. Currently not reading anything so I suppose that means it is up to bat now.
