      1984- I've always wanted to read that.

      You know, I've always heard that Harry Potter was good. Though, I could never bring myself to read them. I can't imagine why, seeing as I read most of the Dragonlance Saga in my highschool years...

      Anyone else here ever read any William Gibson?

          Matt Reilly is ok... he's got a great writing style, even if some of his stuff is under-researched, or if he excessively sacrifices reality for creative license. He's definitely a fun read though.

          I used to read a lot of Clive Cussler, but I just can't get into his stuff any more.

          Not sure if I could pinpoint a single favourite book, but "The Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams or the Red Dwarf series by Doug Naylor are pretty damned hard to put down.

          For non-fiction, go read "Band of Brothers" by Stephen E Ambrose. Usually the author gives me the ****'s with his flag waving, but it's a good book about ordinary people in extra-ordinary times in the words of the people who were there. Also got made into an HBO mini-series if no-one feels like reading...

                              Pretty good book but it goes on and on with her and her father (am I thinking of the right one).

                              Okay here are mine by genre:

                              Autobiography/History- Scipio Africanus Greater Than Napoleon (close second is any history book by Allison Weir).

                              Serious Literature: Too many to tell you have Doctor Zhivago, Pide and Prejudic, Crime and Punishment, etc.

                              Science Fiction/Fantasy: Flamesong by MAR Barker (probably never heard of it)

                              Here is my review of books on Amazon if you are interested (WARNING HUGE WASTE OF TIME! JUST THE INANE RAMBLINGS OF A BORED MIDDLE AGED MAN!!!)

                                Those books are great.
