Hatchetaxe&saw Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 An Equal Music - Vikram Seth A Secret History of the IRA - Ed Moloney Anything by David Starkey on the history of British Royalty tons more, but severely afflicted by brain freeze....
-Jane- Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 I can't just mention one, but the books that I can look back on as being huge in my life. The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky Lord of the Rings Trilogy by JRR Tolkien Childhood's End by Arthur C Clarke The Works of WB Yeats Time Enough for Love by Robert Heinlein There are others, those are the ones that come to mind right now.
CMWriter Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 THERE ARE TOO MANY GAH. D: Just a couple, though... - Kindred, by Octavia E. Butler, who is pretty much my hero. The way she can weave in a love story, history, and science fiction is just brilliant. - The Count of Monte Cristo, by Alexandre Dumas. This was the first "classical" novel I really got into. The amazing, intricate, intriguing plot of deception and revenge grabbed me and never let go. - Contact, by Carl Sagan. Sagan's masterpiece. The movie killed every point he made in the novel. 'Nough said. Go read it if you haven't. - And.. any number of Star Trek novels I've read. You laugh, but it's true! Pretty much anything written by Peter David or Diane Duane, I've read, and they're almost all fabulous. Especially all the DS9 Relaunch novels.

I never read anything by L. Ron Hubbard...hesitant to though I shouldn't be. Maybe I will give it a try seeing that you have it grouped with a lot of my favorites. Though there are so many...Sun Also Rises, Gatsby, Mockingbird....I will have to say that the greatest book that I have ever read is The Fountainhead.
micgtr71 Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 On the Road, Dharma Bums, Electric Kool aid Acid Test...Don't forget the beats. Love the beats. 1
