    I'm getting this one on my tablet. Also, any book by Mitch Albom is a good read.

    The movie is based on this. I'd recommend reading it, it kept me awake til 5:30 one morning when I had to be at work at 8. Worth it...just finished 2nd book and am on the third one (last one) now. It's one of those books that you read and can't stop reading...

    also looking for recommendations.

    I loved the first half of The Company
    I liked the first half of Seven King's It, but currently having a hard time getting into The Stand
    I liked The Girl who played with Fire, but the 2 followup books were crap

    other than that I can't think of anything I've read recently that I've liked.

    but The Company... damn that was so good for a while, are there any other good history/fiction books on a grand scale like that?

    Thanks for the recommendation. Was thinking of getting the boxed set on Amazon in the past but got other things instead. Maybe next time I'll get this.

    oh, right. Dragon Tattoo was good, Fire and Hornets Nest were weak.

    A few months ago I read The Six Wives of Henry VIII and The Children of Henry VIII, both by Alison Weir. Very detailed and informative on that particular period of Tudor history. The first drags a bit; understandable, as it takes a lot to explain six marriages, no matter how short some of them were! The biggest thing I took away was a much better understanding of the mind of his daughter, Princess Mary, who later became known as "Bloody Mary".

    More recently I've begun rereading Chaim Potok's Davita's Harp, the story of a half-Jewish girl being raised by communist parents in post-WWI America. It was one of my favorites as a young teenager, but of course now as an adult I understand so much more of it.

    Yep, Murakami is probably my current favorite author. Check out his other works too, good stuff imo.

    Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World
    Norwegian Wood
    Kafta on the Shore

    The Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson is pretty good.

    The Elric Saga.

    First series of books I read and couldn't get enough of.

    Highly recommend it.

    One of the most amazing reads out there. I have all of them I think. Then there's Dorian Hawkmoon.

    Why Hollywood hasn't done the alpino prince with his vampiric runesword Stormbringer...???? Perfect for todays movie goers?

    I agree.

    The amount of books that series spun is quite big. I"ve not read all of them, although I want to but for some reason or the other I never looked for the rest.

    I have only read Stormbringer, The fortress of the Pear and The Revenge of the Rose.

    These books are hard to find.

    And I rather Hollywood stay away from these books. They would only screw it up. Besides, it would take someone with great vision to bring this masterpiece to the big screen.

    Someone like Peter Jackson. He has an idea of what it is to bring complex characters and world.

    Hollywood did a great job with the last Conan, (have all of those books) I have no doubt they could do the same with Elric as long as they mimiced Moor like they did Howard.

    I bought the two book The Elric Saga at a book store, a friend turned me on to Elric. The rest the books and other Moor books I found at yard sales, thrift shops. The Dorian Hawkmoon stories a must if you like Elric. Actually everything by Moor is a great read.

    Been on a sci-fi kick lately. Anderson and Herbert have done an admirable job of continuing the saga that Frank began (prequels are dope, too)



    Also just read Lescroart's latest effort



    Last non-fiction I read was Jack Kerouac's Lonesome traveler. If you can get used to his prose it's an amazing read

    Just finished NOS4A2 by Joe Hill, and I loved it. He definitely has his father's talent for writing page turners.
