    Read "Three" by Ted Dekker .... it will mess with your mind ... a thriller that will have you guessing who the bad guy or girl is prolly half a dozen times ....

    Matterhorn by Karl Marlantes

    It's about the Vietnam War. Great book, recommened to me by my father who was Force Recon in the war.

    OK ... if you haven't seen the movie, Primal Fear is a great read ...

    Bram Stoker's Dracula is an awesome read

    Lord.of the Flies

    Dean Koontz - Dragon Tears

    Salem's Lot - Stephen King

    The Oath - Frank Peretti

    I also have tons of Christian Fiction that are excellent ... but that would be for another thread I am guessing ..

    Read the Game of Throne series if you like fiction.

    I generally hate fiction, but I've enjoyed the entire series.

    Desert Solitaire - or anything else by Ed Abbey. Interesting reads for outdoor enthusiasts as Abbey was the original!

    Fiction bores me.. unless I get to laugh out loud.

    So.. if I'm in the mood for smut as I refer to it.. look no further than Christopher Moore.

    And.. since this forum has gone religious lately.. try reading "Lamb" by him.

    It's the story of Biff.. Jesus' childhood buddy who clowns around with the young savior as he tries to discover what a messiah is to do with his life. Jesus learns the secrets and Biff mostly gets beat up or laid.

    It's funny.. a good solid read.

    You get to learn cool terms like.. 'sin of onan'.. which I do entirely too often.

    I like anything by RA Salvatore, and the Ranger Apprentice series by John Flanagan its a teen book, but its about some Ranger's that are reall good with a Bow(only reason I picked it up)

    Ok just confirmed how much of a nerd I am but oh well.

    I recommend an iPad with a Netflix account. The stories have special effects and explosions rather than pages full of words.

    lol I am no help as I hate reading.
