Select books from the Sword of Truth series, by Terry Goodkind
The Fear Street Sagas, by R.L. Stine. Not the teeny romance drama Fear Street SERIES, but the actual Sagas...the ones that are more adult-themed with the stories that take place in the past, not present-day high schools.0 -
just finished the Dark Tower Series, and I probably am going to need to re-read it several times to fully digest it all. No spoiling, but the end left me reeling. :noway:
Not a big series-reader as much, so I'll list my other favorites:
The Stand
East of Eden
Old Man and the Sea
Grapes of Wrath
Peace Like a River
Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius
Yay for reading!!
I'm currently into King's new book, 11/22/63, which I'm enjoying thoroughly!!0 -

Have you read the Iron King series? I worked with a summer reading program for teens this summer so I was reading a lot of YA books. I picked up the first book even though I'm not a fantasy fan but loved it! Ended up reading all 3, and a 4th just came out last month. It also has a good romance story to it.0 -

What are these Dresden Files everyone is speaking of? I need to check these out.
The Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell (This is going to be a Wachowski movie in 2012 and I highly recommend it)
The Speed of Dark by Elizabeth Moon
The World According to Garp by John Irving
The Perks of Being a Wallfower by Stephen Chbosky
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov0 -
Dresden Files is amazing...but I may be biased, since it's tied for the #1 spot as my favorite series.
First one is called Storm Front, and they're by Jim Butcher! 0 -
J.T. Ellison crime thriller series
Anything by Harlan Coben- love his independent thrillers and his Myron Bolitar series
Mark Greaney's Gray Man series
A Walk in the Woods- Bill Bryson as well as Small Notes from an Island and Neither Here nor There
Most anything by Dean Koontz0 -
Janet Evanovich - Stephanie Plum series
Stephanie Meyers - Twilight Series
Diana Gabaldon - Outlander Series
Any thing by Dan Brown or John Sandford0 -
Hmmm, that I would/have read over and over? Very diverse in subject matter, but if an author can pull me in I will read them again and again.
Harry Potter series - JK Rowling is amazing with words, whether you like this kind of subject matter or not
Southern Vampire series - Charlaine Harris
North and South series by John Jakes. Rather older, about the Civil War.
Gone with the Wind. Very awesome read, a lot more to Scarlett than what was shown in the movie.
Most anything by Catherine Coulter or Janet Evanovich.0 -
I am new to this forum so I am trying to participate! That being said, I will try my best to narrow my list to five...
Cause Celeb, Helen Fielding
Harry Potter (entire series), JK Rowling
Persuasion, Jane Austen
Me Talk Pretty One Day, David Sedaris
It - or - Bag of Bones, Stephen King
The last one (2) I can interchange for other thrillers. Anyone read Justin Cronin's The Passage - it was fantastic and it's supposed to be a triliogy.0
