Great Books!

[SilverSabre25]

Any genre, really. I'm not picky. And I love to learn.

Extra points if they're eBooks...even more extra points if they're eBooks I can get from the library!

[Bookworm]

The Jack Reacher series by Lee Child
The Agent Pendergast series by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child
The Prey series and the Virgil Flowers series by John Sandford
If you like horror, I totally recommend Stephen King
The Lincoln Rhyme series by Jeffrey Deaver

If you want specific books I can give you those too.

By the way, the majority can be found as e-books.

Not all of King's books are horror actually, most people think they are and usually stay away, but he really does have some that are fantastic, and not horror . Speaking of him though, if you haven't read it yet, I'd recommend The Eyes of the Dragon, def one of his better books, and an easier read for those who don't like his more..uh..gooey books.

Another series that you can read is the Fablehaven books.
My sister didn't really like them, she said they were too childish for her, but I really enjoyed them, and read the first one to my oldest DD, and she finished off the rest on her own. (She's 8, so that gives you an idea of how much of an easy read they are.)

I agree with you about Steven King. For excellent books that are not supernatural/horror, I recommend: Dolores Claiborne, Full Dark No Stars or 11/23/63. Try James Patterson as well. As far as Stephen King goes, I will read anything that isn't the Dark Tower series because I'm not into fantasy.

Dolores Claiborne is one of my favorites by him, I've read it multiple times. I have not however heard of the other two, I used to be an avid collector of his books, but my collecting slowed once I had my youngest DD. The Dark Tower series were good, but frustrating, I started them long before they were finished, and was very disappointed with the way he ended them. It is one of the only series I own that I will never re-read. The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon is also another great one for anyone out there looking to read something of his that isn't too horrible. Ok-enough on King, if I think of any other books for you to read I'll let you know!

An online friend wrote Scent of the Missing - it's about Search and Rescue dogs.

I enjoyed it and TNT may be making it a series. I've watch Puzzle (the cover girl) grow up over the years. She's a tad older than my Golden.

Susannah is currently working on another book as well.

[Trummynme]

"The Elephant in the Playroom"
"Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers"
"Walden Two"
"How Doctors Think"
"The Greatest Generation"
"Moonwalking with Einstein"
"A Briefer History of Time"

I loved "We Need To Talk About Kevin". The movie will tear you apart. Try Harlan Cobin and Dennis Lehane.

Books vs E-booke, which one is impoatant?

For me, i prefer to books, though e-book is much convenient to carry. So what about you?

I just read Sarah's Key. Very good book.

I feel the same way. I get both from the library and the wait for the e-book is usually not as long as a physical book.
