	Third Degree: A Novel Author: Greg Iles ISBN: 1416524541	Like Stephen King, Greg Iles has a knack for placing ordinary people in extraordinary situations, and making their actions seem entirely believable.

	Omerta Author: Mario Puzo ISBN: 0345432401	To me, it seemed like even though this was a relatively short novel, Puzo put loads of effort into character development. Astorre's path was an interesting one.

	The Vampire Armand [Unabridged Library Edtion] Author: Anne Rice	Who doesn't like Armand?

	Blood and Gold: The Vampire Marius (The vampire chronicles) Author: Anne Rice ISBN: 0099271494	One of my favorite chronicles, as well as characters.

	Nightmares & Dreamscapes Author: Stephen King	Chattery Teeth, The Moving Finger, The Ten O' Clock People... most of my favorite stories from this collection weren't included in the adaptation of the same name.

	The Dark Half Author: Stephen King ISBN: 0451167317	The sparrows are flying....

	The Stand Author: Stephen King	The line is drawn.

	Sphere Author: Michael Crichton ISBN: 0345418972	I've read this book a few times and I've always found something new and interesting each time. Perhaps it's almost time to read it again.

	On a Pale Horse (Incarnations of Immortality, Bk. 1) Author: Piers Anthony ISBN: 0345338588	A front seat ride along with Death himself... who wouldn't be interested in that conversation... Piers explores the daily duty of the pale rider like no one else.

	Fight Club, A Novel Author: Chuck Palahniuk	This book has much more goin' on beneath the scenes than meets the eye. And it isn't easily categorized as one thing or another... so much of Chuck's work is like that... it's one of the things I love about reading his fiction.

	H.P. Lovecraft's Book of the Supernatural: Classic Tales of the Macabre Author: H.P. Lovecraft ISBN: 0760791236	The Great Founders of the Supernatural/Horror tale may be found within these exalted pages... but you should really just read the book and judge that for yourself.

	Taken Author: Thomas H. Cook ISBN: 044024126X	This is a good lil' mini-series and an excellent reverse adaptation; if that makes any sense... I mean to say that it was written after the series, rather than the other way 'round.

	The X-Files: Ground Zero Author: Kevin J. Anderson ISBN: 0061056774	I like this book quite a bit. I bought it the other day and plan to read it for the third time in my life. I used to own it... it's funny how we want those things back even if they've been gone a long time. Oh well... sometimes it's the little things that count the most.

	The Man Who Fought Alone Author: Stephen R. Donaldson ISBN: 0765341247	I like the Man Who series.

	The Pelican Brief, a Time to Kill, & the Firm: 3 John Grisham Novels Author: John Grisham ISBN: 0440360528	Three of my favorite Grisham novels. The film adaptations weren't that bad either.

	Creepers Author: David Morrell ISBN: 1593153570	A great book that emanates a resounding presence of odd atmosphere that stays with you right up to the end. It's one of the most memorable of the recent books I've read.

	CONTACT Author: Carl Sagan	I wish Carl Sagan hadn't left us prematurely, I would've loved to have read more of his work; both fiction and non.

	The Shining Author: Stephen King ISBN: 0450040186	This book is much better than its movie adaptations. I feel that the original is the better movie, even though the second one comes closer to honoring the story. Kubrick's movie is a much more visual and visceral affair.

	Wizard and Glass (The Dark Tower, Book 4) Author: Stephen King	There's no place like home... there's no place like home... there's no place like traveling the beam... if you know what I mean. If you don't you cats are SO like 19 :)

	The Wastelands Author: Stephen King	Can't think of something so profoundly assanine sounding to presume to say of this work so I'll just say that I liked it very much.

	Odd Thomas Series (Volumes 1-4) Author: Dean Koontz	Will have this. The Odd Thomas books are a must read. Brother Odd is probably my favorite one thus far. But I liked Forever almost as much. I haven't read them all but I will.

	The Drawing of the Three [The Dark Tower II] Author: Stephen King	And Yea the Lord said let there BE doors... and from them Gunslingers shall emerge; but at the time they will not know themselves as such.

	All Heads Turn When The Hunt Goes By Author: John Farris ISBN: 0445043601	The only book I've ever read by Farris but I couldn't have asked for a better one. Immersive storytelling at its best.

	Within the Shadows Author: Brandon Massey ISBN: 0758210701	This is a good story which twists the haunted house/deadly vixen tale up and turns it on its head, by an awesome writer(and pretty decent from as far as I can tell),editor of at least one anthology.

	The Time Machine, Literary Touchstone Edition Author: H.G. Wells ISBN: 1580493807	My favorite H.G. Wells story.

	White Fang (Scholastic Classics) Author: Jack London ISBN: 0439236193	My favorite of Jack's stories.

	The Call of the Wild (Aladdin Classics) Author: Jack London ISBN: 0689856741	I've always loved Jack London's tales.

	Journey to the Center of the Earth (Unabridged Classics) Author: Jules Verne ISBN: 1402743378	This is one of the books that really sparked my interest in reading. I believe I read it for the first time while participating in a reading program sponsored by Pizza Hut. That was a great literacy program, for X amount of books a kid read they could earn a personal pan pizza.

	Return to Mars Author: Ben Bova ISBN: 0380797259	The first book was better than this one but they're both pretty good.

	Cell (AUDIOBOOK) (CD) Author: Stephen King ISBN: 1419385380	I don't have the audiobook but this cover is closer to the hardback novel's. Different twist on the Zombie tale.

	The Inhuman Condition Author: Clive Barker ISBN: 0743417348	The Body Politic is an amazingly original tale.

	Chariots of the Gods Author: Erich von Daniken ISBN: 0425166805	Many dismiss von Daniken's theories but I for one believe they deserve some serious scientific research.

	The Regulators Author: Stephen King ISBN: 0525941908	Damn those Low Men.

	Desperation Author: Stephen King ISBN: 0965026396	Must be read in conjunction with Regulators.

	Dreamcatcher Author: Stephen King	S.S.D.D. Love this book. The movie characters come up shy when it comes to their portrayal.

	Duma Key: A Novel Author: Stephen King	Beware the pictures you paint.

	Sleep No More Author: Greg Iles ISBN: 0451208765	My introduction to Greg Iles started with this creepy sexually saturated thriller.

	Blood Memory: A Novel Author: Greg Iles ISBN: 0743454154	One of my favorite Iles novels.

	The Footprints of God: A Novel Author: Greg Iles ISBN: 1416564098	Great book that plays on the fears of AI.

	Lord of the Flies Author: William Golding	Even without society there have to be rules or else: CHAOS.

	Time's Eye (A Time Odyssey) Author: Arthur C. Clarke ISBN: 034545247X	What happens if the Earth is taken apart and put together again, but with the geographical locations screwed up, and the timelines thrown together with no rhyme or reason? And what did the Aliens have to do with it?

	The Art of War Author: Sun Tzu ISBN: 1590302257	There aren't many who were more forward thinking in warfare.

	From a Buick 8 (AUDIOBOOK) (CD) Author: Stephen King ISBN: 1402529759	This is one of the best audio versions of a book I've ever heard. Almost like a radio drama. The book is awesome. Many of its critics have said that it was just a rehash of Christine, but it just goes to show you they were focusing on the wrong part of the story. The book is about the boys search for a reason why he's lost his father, and Troop D's willingness to help him through. The supernatural aspect is just the vehicle by which that story is transported.

	CHRISTINE Author: Stephen King	A boy and his car... Ahhhh that love's unconditional.

	True Evil: A Novel Author: Greg Iles ISBN: 1416524533	No one does southern thriller quite like Greg Iles.

	Memnoch the Devil (Vampire Chronicles, No 5) Author: Anne Rice ISBN: 0345409671	Anne Rice reinvented the vampire novel. I like almost all the other chronicles, but I feel this is the pivotal work.

	Frankenstein (Enriched Classics) Author: Mary Shelley ISBN: 0743487583	This is one of the best written books of all time. The movie adaptations do not do it justice. In fact, there is very little resemblance between the book and most of the movies.

	Fahrenheit 451 Author: Ray Bradbury ISBN: 0345342968	This book is a must for any writer/book lover. It's as scary relevant today as it was fifty years ago. Maybe even more so.

	Dante's Equation Author: Jane Jensen ISBN: 0345430379	The kind of work that while you peruse its contents it peers into your soul.

	The Gunslinger (The Dark Tower, Book 1) Author: Stephen King ISBN: 0452284694	The first book is an excellent stand alone, but to truly experience The Dark Tower, one must read them all. It is truly the most all encompassing story I have ever read. There's something for everyone. Warning/Spoiler: many readers feel let down by the ending of the Dark Tower series so if you're the type of person who doesn't enjoy the journey, and you aren't apt to ever read the books again then this may not be the book for you. However, if you're into that sort of thing then this is your epic, and it's only after you read it a few times that you comprehend the majority of the story arcs.--Steve Denton: help us protect the rose (and preserve the Tower) by reading this seven novel story cyclically for the rest of your days... and may they be pleasant:) Thankee.
