    The Mosquito Coast is one of the most beautifully written books I've ever read.

    Hmm I have so many!

    The Firekeeper Series by Jane Lindskold has been my favorite for years but they are slowly losing their edge.

    I loved the His Dark Materials saga (Golden Compass, etc). By Phillip Pullman

    Right now I'm starting A Game of Thrones, so we'll see how that plays out.

    I really enjoyed The Hunger Games. I felt that it was a bit.....simple, but still really good.

    I enjoy all my supernatural series, but the single book I love most is Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (John Berendt).

    I love any true story books, I enjoyed reading a book called Mothers Day, it was based on true events, and basically a thriller :)

    anything with a happy ending? Everything anymore really brings me down, I like to throw just a good ol' happy story in there.

    I've always been a fan of the Warhammer 40k series of books. Science fiction war stories are always interesting to me.

    Nightfall- Isaac Asimov
    Brave New World- Aldous Huxley

    Just finished Hunger Games and I liked it. Currently reading All Those Things We Never Said by Marc Levy (in french) and I love it.

    Absolutely love the Count of Monte Cristo. I was just thinking I should read it again. I don't read a lot of books over and over, but that's one that I can.
    The Count of Monte Cristo. It's perfect.

    Wow I can't believe Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follet hasn't been mentioned, a real tour de force, historical, emotive & a brilliant story.

    All time great - Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, fantastic tale of the "future"

    & in that vein, I am currently reading The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, somebody said a little simple. Maybe. But the flow & feel of the book is perfectly pitched & is immediately engaging.

    Is anyone here on Good Reads? I am and keep track of my books so if you're on Good Reads we can friend one another there too and get recommendations.

    My favorite books are (in no particular order):
    Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier
    A Town Like Alice by Nevil Shute
    The Chimney Sweepers Boy by Barbara Vine

    There are a few series books that are very good.
    Haunted Ground, Lake of Sorrows and False Mermaid by Erin Hart
    The Crossing Places, Janus Stone and The House at Sea's End by Elly Griffiths
    and about 10 books by P J Parrish about Louis Kincaid. The series starts with The Dark of the Moon.

    I havent read Pillars of the Earth but it is next on my reading list. I watched the mini series and fell in love with Tom the Builder haha

    I havent been able to bring myself to read the Hunger Games, I tried an excerpt and the writing style just did not appeal to me at all.

    If you like futuristic scifi, The foundation series by Issac Asimov brilliant
