Who? Me? Well, since you asked:

Terry Goodkind's The Sword of Truth Series: Wizard's First Rule (first book in series)

Anything by the following: Patterson, Ludlum, Grisham, Steinbeck, Heinlein, Asimov.

You might also check my ToDo list on my profile page, those are the books I have finsihed this year...I would recommend either of the Dune prequels. They are very good. Atreides should be read first.

Good Luck, have fune.

Thanks. I was considering the Dune books. :) I neeeeeeed to read some Heinlein and I've read Foundation by Asimov and really enjoyed it. He just has so many books it's hard to know which ones are better.

I, Robot by Asimov is good, and any of that grouping...most anything by Heinlein but my all time favorite by him is Stranger in a Strange Land. You might also want to read Five Smooth Stones by Sylvia Plath (I believe). It is about racial tension and life in the South in the 60's. Then thers are a whole bunch of others...depending on what you like.

Dune: House Atriedes is a good first chioice though.

Yeah, I've been scoffed at for not having read any Heinlein. :)

You have got find a copy of Stranger in a Strange Land. It is a classic life piece. It will affect you. It is a work of art. Wonderful reading. You must read it.
