A good read?

[Avenger]

Thought I'd make a thread where we could all share what we thought to be a good read. This applies to books, articles and so forth.

John Dies At The End is a good read, you can find it on www.johndiesattheend.com free.

If none of you have read the Lincoln Child Pangea books (the Relic, Reliquary, Mount Dragon, Riptide, Thunderhead, the Ice Limit, Cabinet of Curiosities, Still Life with Crows, Brimstone, Dance of Death, Book of the Dead and Wheel of Darkness . . . in that order!) they are excellent thrillers that border on high tech and mysticism. Only Mount Dragon lacks good pacing, all the rest get read by me within a week. Don't judge Relic on it's movie counterpart, the movie omitted the best character, and the book was much, much better at imparting the terror of the museum beast!

I recommend anything by James Patterson.

If you read it like it's Animal Farm... it's the Capitalist Manifesto. No joke.

The Dune series
Kubik
1984
2001: A Space Odyssey + Sequels
The Rama series
The Foundation series
The Thesaurus and Dictionary
Neuromancer
Ender's Game and sequels
Eon

That's all I remember from the top of my head, but they're all great books. Especially the thesaurus.

Cuc, I remember reading the Relic when I was 13 or something, I do recall enjoying it though, I almost picked up Reliquary at the bookstore the other day, might have to with your suggestion.

Michael Crichton gets my vote, the man is educated and it comes through in his writings, for good thrillers with lots of thought behind them, pick up this guys books.

Also I've been reading a lot of James Rollins lately, fast reading books with suspense and action. His sigma series is very entertaining.
