Psychopath Registered: Nov. 00	Mine's a toss up between two Stephen King stories "IT" (with all the death and little kids fucking each other, who wouldn't enjoy such a tale?) and The "Dark Tower" series.

Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70	well my favorite author is Dostoyevsky and Crime and Punishment would have to be my favorite. I know it's somewhat cliche but i do love shakespeare and MacBeth has to be one of my fav's. I also enjoy any dashill hammet mystery like the thin man series and the maltese falcon.

Psychopath Registered: Dec. 00	Mine's definitely Desperation by Stephen King. I've heard great things about the Dark Tower series, but I refuse to read it until he finishes the series. The Stand was excellent too. Backstreet Boys or N*Sync? Both of them. Locked in a house, on fire, surrounded by trick fire extinguishers filled with gasoline.

Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70	i agree dryblood, this is definetly a first on the board. But like the movie or music threads. I think a top 10 list would do, its tough to pick just one. I'll do one a bit later but definetly keep this one at the top.

Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70	I love The Stand by Stephen King. I have read that fuckin book at least ten times! I also love the book The Day After Tomorrowby Allan Folsom. That is a must read. It is basicly about the restart of the Nazi Regime. Pretty wicked shit goes on in this one! And I must mention The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice. Another classic! Holy shit, who thought I could read?

Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70	someone help me out on this one. I been doing a lot of re-reads this year because i can't find anything too good out there. I just got this book called 'Lord Of The Dead' i forget the author. But from what i gathered it's about a woman searching out the truth about the myth that The Lord Byron was a vampire. Has anyone read this one?

(and Sean, Lestat is the best of them all, and I heard they're making a movie of it, so I hope they don't fuck it up like the 1st one.) Let's see if I'm hearing this right Is it just I should take And never endings are glad To carry out the dead Your idols burn in the fire The mob comes crawling out (take us down and out) I'm reclaiming their minds Destroying everyone There's no one here And people everywhere, you're all alone This message was edited by spitfire421 on 2-27-01 @ 4:19 PM

O&A Board Veteran Registered: Oct. 00	OK, if we are being serious: Any of the series by W.E.B. Griffin - Excellent The Day After Tomorrow - Excellent (Read The Berkut if you liked this can't remember the author) Almost anything by Stephen Hunter - Excellent David Hagberg/Sean Flannery - Excellent for Cold War Fans Nelson DeMille has not written a bad book. Oh, and Shakespeare is, well, Shakespeare, can't beat that. Hemingway is nice. Joseph Heller is a scream if you get him. John Sandford is interesting. John R. Maxim is very cool. Oh, I'll be back when I have time. Now, I'm thinking of the hours that I've spent buried in books.

O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01	The Stand is tops on my list, as well as Desperation and the Dark Tower series (big King reader here) Also, a Graphic novel from the 80's, called The Watchmen. For those who know of it, yes, it was a comic book, but it read like a novel, and it was a hell of a story.

Psychopath Registered: Nov. 00	Goddamn, I completely diregarded nonfiction! (I highly recommend "Caught In the Crossfire: The Biography of Stevie Ray Vaughn".) And Gonzo, you brought so many books to mind. Fuck the top ten, I'd need a top hundred--we all would.
