If you aren't a King fan, I'd still check this series out. It's totally unlike his other writings and man you will not stop until you get through them all. First book was published in 1982 and the last not until 2004.

hundred percent agree. that series is completely wicked.

I just wasn't meant to read that book. I have purchased it 3 times and it has disappeared on me every time....

**wantmoremass** · 07-11-2008, 01:20 PM

i had a stephen king phase, enjoyed a lot of his books - tommyknockers, it, different seasons, dark tower series... can't seem to get into them anymore.

i'm currently reading a book called the alienist by caleb carr...it's fantastic. i've really been into historical suspenseful stories lately...

some of my favourites of all time:

i know this much is true - wally lamb - 897 pages, and it all culminates in the last couple paragraphs...i love this book.

who has seen the wind - w.o. mitchell (my favourite book ever, probably because it reminds me of the place and culture i grew up in)

the ian rankin series - if you like crime stories, they're pretty good

i stated earlier in this thread.... Prodigy by Dave Kalstein

**Darksyde** · 07-14-2008, 02:09 PM

if you like the cyberpunk genre there are a few other authors out there that wrote some good stuff, im having a hard time remembering their names though... Shadowrun by Jordan Weisman, Into the Shadows by a number of authors.. god there was a whole bunch of good ones i cant even remember .. well i guess its been 15 yrs since i read them so ah well. i will post any more i come across!

**Dukkit** · 07-14-2008, 02:24 PM

the author of Fight Club, i forget his name, but ive read a few of his other books and they are all entertaining.

**MotoXracer** · 07-15-2008, 03:24 AM

Hunter Thompson rules... Buy the ticket, take the ride!

**RuhlFreak55** · 07-15-2008, 11:49 AM

surprised how many of you guys like non fiction books.....i essentially can't stand reading most of them unless it's about something like the Paranormal or Ancient Egypt and such.

**BUYLONGTERM** · 07-15-2008, 03:29 PM

The Girl Next Door was the most disturbing book I've ever read. I read the whole book at work in one day. You will want to put the book down, but it will grab you right back. I still get chills thinking about it.

**BUYLONGTERM** · 07-15-2008, 03:30 PM

SWAN SONG! It's EPIC!

**Rugger02** · 07-15-2008, 05:20 PM

The Trumpet of the Swan?

**DNoMac** · 07-15-2008, 05:33 PM

I'm a big Dan Brown fan. Obviously the Da Vinci code and Angels and Demons, but also check out Deception Point and Digital Fortress. They are difficult to put down. I also like non-fiction military such as Black Hawk Down by Mark Bowden, Bravo Two Zero by Andy McNab, and Inside the Wire by Erik Saar.

Chuck Palahniuk, guys a complete nut job. All of his books are amazing.

**Flagg** · 07-16-2008, 07:31 PM

Swan Song was good, but for pure epicness, read The Stand.

1400 pages of end of the world, apocalyptic stuff for the human race.

"i hope they serve beer in hell" by Tucker Max. greatest book ever!!!

Of course! The character of Flagg has turned up in quite a few King books, generally wrecking havoc or causing chaos! That aside, The Stand is absolutely amazing piece of fiction though.
