    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'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)

    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.

    It and its sequel The Malloreon series are among my favorite books.

    I love Clifford D. Simak and Andre Norton for fantasy.

    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.
