I need some good books

[MayAMonkeyBeYourPinata]

Well, spring break is coming up, and I am going to be spending my time up in Florida, with my mom, my aunt and my uncle.

So, I will have alot of free time, and most of that is going to be spent sitting infront of the pool reading.

So who has a good book or two, they reccomend I dig my teeth into?

Right now I'm just getting through "The Day of the Jackal" it's by Frederick Forsyth. Also, if you like Vietnam books, my favorite book (that I read more then once ) is named Point Man and was writen by James Watson.

memoirs of a primate (i think its called that), its a really interesting collection of memoirs by a guy who lived with gorillas for like a year, doing research and observing them, and saving their lives

-Mystery--count of monte cristo by Alexander Dumas (pretty long though)

-Mystery--The Cabinet of Curiosities by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child (or any of their books for that matter)

-Adventure, mystery---any book by Clive Cussler, in fact, the first time i read a Clive Cussler book (Shock Wave) was sitting next to a pool in Mexico :P

-Espionage, Adventure--Any book by Robert Ludlum (recommend The Rhinemann Exchange)

ive read every book by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, and every book by Clive Cussler, and almost every book by Robert Ludlum so they must be good :P

youth in revolt - c.d. payne(ultra long, ultra hilarious, with an extremely convoluted storyline that is freaking funny.)

cryptonomicon - neal stephenson(very cool cyber punk about a hacker pizza delivery guy who moonlights as a ninja - my favortie book of all time.)

[gamarada717]

Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz. Wonderfull book, I foung my self laughing out loud several times (even though it's about a guy who see's dead people), probably one of the best I've ever read.

Prey by Micheal Chrighton, especially if you like science fiction. Boy, the ending totally threw me off...

Eragon by.....crap. I can't remeber the name of the author, but it's next on my list. I've seen countless people my age (14, 15) glued to this book. More science fiction.

Spring break, Florida, and reading don't go in the same sentence.

Shogun, tai-pan, gai-jin, king rat, and the noble house - all great book written by James Clavel. Most around 1000 pages, but very very interesting and YOU WILL NOT put the book down until you have finished it. \
I'm reading the count of monte cristo write now, and so far it is very good (only 50 pages in though )
