Re: Needing a New Book To Read

How about 20 books? The Aubrey/Maturin novels by Patrick O'Brian. Start with "Master and Commander" and go from there. Every one a gem. [/ QUOTE ] The greatest reading experience of my and gf's life. She read all twenty in about ten weeks! ~ Rick

The Dark Tower series, by Stephen King. Say what you will about him being a hack, this series is remarkably different from anything he's ever done. It's really more of a fantasy/science fiction/western. It's a series of books and they all rank among my favorites. Start with The Gunslinger and read your way through them. You'll be happy you did. [/ QUOTE ] I agree. If you read more Stephen King, you'll realize that a lot of stories make a little more sense, several are linked together in specific ways. A great book I just bought and read is Ilium by Dan Simmons. It's a little difficult to get through the first chapters but once you get into it's tough to put down. It not a book about the past....the Greek/Trojan battle is a major part of the book but it's happening again in the future...great read.
