another bookworm here. I started reading when I was 4. We were living above a library at that time. What more can you wish for?
I read pretty much everything - crime, Jane Austen, survival stories, biographies, whatever my mood tells me to read. I currently re-read The Godfather.
Those who like something haunting - try "The Road" (you might know the movie with the same title).1 -
Recommend to me a long series I can sink my teeth into. Here's some ones I've enjoyed/re-read multiple times (with the more favorite ones on top).
Hobbit/Lord of the Rings
Song of Ice and Fire
Harry Potter
The first ~5 of the Wheel of Time
The first 2 Dune
Incarnations of Immortality
Hunger Games
Vampire Chronicles
Well World
Chronicles of Narnia
The Dark Tower by Stephen King. Best. Series. Evar.3 -

I've never tried Agatha Christie
Dean Koontz is my favorite though
I like reading Patterson, Sanford, Stephen King.
You'll love Agatha Christie if you love crime novels *_* I can never guess the murderer till the last pages
Only know King, the others are horror authors too?
Dean Koontz is more of a mystery kind
Not so much like Stephen King
But he's great!
i actually quit reading him after the way the last Frankenstein story kind of flopped. i loved the first two but the last ones were just a slog to get through. plus he's never finished up the third christopher snow novel yet and he was my favorite.
Agree! The first few Frankenstein books were better than the latter. But he's still my favorite!
Have you read "From the corner of his eye" by Dean Koontz
That was a very good one1 -

Yeah I have the series and hopefully will get to it soon "after I finish East of Eden, which is awesome"
What's the title of your book? Perhaps we can check it out "btw, this is so cool!"

I also picked up his last volume of the Mr. Mercedes series End of Watch and got to see him speak in Louisville. (It was everything I hoped it would be and more)I also love Agatha Christie, autobiographies, and some of the old stuff like Beowulf, The Illiad, The Oddessy, ect. My favorite book is to Kill a Mockingbird.
High five!! Poirot with his egg shaped head has been close to my heart since middle school And the first novel I ever read for Stephen King was Mr Mercedes, was epic and since then I have been devouring his books like a starved!
Will read the oddessy and how to kill a mockingbird soon!

The Magician series by Lev Grossman is sort of grown up Harry Potter. I'm only on the first one but liking it. Bearing in mind I read with my kids so these are more teen/young adult, I liked Suzanne Collins Gregor the Overlander series more than her Hunger Games one. The new Rick Riordan book Trials of Apollo had me snickering out loud.
I have been planning to read the Trials of Apollo "I'm a Rick Riordan fan" can you share your thoughts on it?

Living near a library is a blessing We had one across the street 0 -
mayoosh_primrose, loving Trials of Apollo. Did you like Magnus Chase? He's found his humour in the last few books. Trials has Apollo lose his godly status (and looks, he's pimply and flabby and can't cope) and indentured to a young demi-god.1

Yes, I'm really into thrillers. Gone Girl, Girl on a Train, Sharp Objects, Pretty Girls as well as young adults2

I'm currently reading The Wheel Of Time Series..on book 5. Amazing Story!!!!!1

What's that
Her biggest seller was Flowers in The attic.. Her books were all kind of Dark/Gothic fiction. Someone else writes under the name now and they kinda went down hill but the books written by her were great.
