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've said it so many times, but The Scarlet Pimpernel is one of my (if not the) favorites. By Baroness Orczy
Some might not cosider this an actual book, but to be honest this is one of the best reads I've had in a while, and would heartily recommend it to anyone, (over the age of 18)

The best books/story EVER
The Belgariad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Horatio Hornblower novels by C.S. Forester
Horatio Hornblower (C.S. Forester) - book review
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.

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.
