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.

One of the most recent books I read.
Not something I normally read,a friend recommended it and this was a good insightful read.

I liked it too,plus brings back school time memories,that was when I read that book along with Tale of Two Cities by Charles Di""ckens http://www.literature.org/authors/en...es/two-cities/.

Bear,
I think that's a comic I don't seem to have read yet, have read quite a few long ago.

anything by anne rice, anne maccafferty, jane yolen, and piers anthony.

i would especially recommend the geodyssey series by piers anthony. it follows the souls of a group of individuals throughout time, from the earliest evolution of man to present day. the series is an amazing study of evolution and societal and cultural change.
