Answer 5

Several already listed, I agree on, but I'll expand...

Stephen King:

The Stand

Salem's Lot

Dark Tower series

Misery

IT

Dan Brown:

All his books were good, everyone recommends Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons, but I think Deception Point was his best.  My least favorite was Digital Fortress, but that was still good.

Dean Koontz Odd Thomas series, "The Bad Place," and actually, most of his books are excellent.

David Baldachi's Absolute Power and Last Man Standing

Tess Gerritson's medical suspense novels.

I agree with others that the Harry Potter books are excellent.

Highly recommended, little known :  The Red Tent by Anita Diament.

Richard Bach's Illusions and Jonathan Livingston Seagull.

In the "self-help" area, I recommend "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff."

In biographies, I recommend "John Adams" by David McCoullough and Fawn Brodey's Jefferson biography.  

For those interested in Thomas Jefferson's religious views, "Jefferson's Extracts from the Gospels," which is 1st in series 2 of the Jefferson Papers series.  and "Ye Will Say I am No Christian" for a collection of of Adams-Jefferson letters about religion.

Answer 6

The order I listed the books in doesn't mean anything.

1. Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling

2. Mediator series by Meg Cabot

3. The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown

4.The Alchemyst: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel by Michael Scott (It's sort of fast-paced and seems impossible to happen in such a short time but I think the plot is pretty cool)

5. Anne Frank's diary

6. Planet Janet, Planet Janet in Orbit by Dyan Sheldon

7. Amazing Grace by Megan Shull(I haven't finished it yet but I totally love it already)

Does anyone agree with me that Twilight is WAY overrated?

Answer 7

I have read all of the following!  Enjoyed all of them and some I have read more than once!  All time fave are The Stand by Stephen King.

I have read the Twilight series to see what all the hooha is over the Twilight series is.  Its only an average book series, nothing to get as excited about as everyone has.  Mind you I am far from a teenager but like to keep up with what’s out there.
