A good read
Synnen mentioned a book list, it did not include all the ones she wanted, or books others wanted.

Lets have our own list of books.

Give us name of the book, author and if possible a link to a summary on the book.
Or I will try and find a summary for any book mentioned here.

Thank you for contributing.

For mystery I really enjoy the Brother Cadfael series by Ellis Peters (one of Edith Parageter's pseudonyms). Cadfael - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Foundation trilogy by Isaac Asimov. The later books were kind of crass, but the original trilogy is a good story about the rise and fall of civilizations.

Everyone should read at least some Edgar Allen Poe. If not his mysteries then his poetry.
