[QUOTE="Rugby_Cymru, post: 101204"] YES! Books! one of my passions. Ok, well first off i have to recommend Tom Holt. Great novelist, totally wacky, surreal and fun to read. It's light, but he doens't fail to make you laugh out loud, which i'm sure you can appreciate is not that easy to do with a book. I recommend [i]'The Portable Door'[/i] it's the first of his Paul Carpenter novels and it's amazing. I love Michael Crichton ([i]'Prey'[/i]) - the guy is very intelligent and knows how to build suspense. Dean Koontz ([i]'The Taking'[/i]) - I've read about 9 of his books and he always comes out with quite "out there" concepts...often all of which work very well. His Odd Thomas books are exceptional, also. And Stephen Fry ([i]'Making History'[/i]) - one could truly be frightened by the concept of reading a novel by such an intellect and even though he does like to stretch his legs through the book there's nothing that the average Joe couldn't grasp onto. I just finished reading [i]'The Dice Man'[/i] (the cult book from the 70's) and as entertaining as it was i feel it was slightly overrated. It seemed to just try to use a few too many shock tactics to create some feelings from me. I'm not always reading novels as i have just (last night) started a book called 'What We Believe But Cannot Prove'. It's simply "the best answers" from science's greatest minds regarding those eternal questions. Quite interesting so far. I'm loving this thread already, because it can help me discover some potentially great books that i might never have heard of. SFW, kudos on [i]'Mr America'[/i] - it's understandable how some would struggle through this (my ex refused to go further than a few pages in), but it is an amazing book in my eyes. [/QUOTE]
