Page 1 of Recommend me a good book......!

I`ve been getting into books these past few weeks and am wondering if anyone can recommend me any good `uns? Im currently reading Alan Alda`s `Never have your dog stuffed` which is a great biography. I do like biographies and used to read a lot of Stephen King and yet not much of a horror fan!?! I like Sci-Fi and adventures so does anyone have any recommendations at all....??
Many thanks........! 8)

I`ve just recently read a couple of thrillers by Stephen (I think) Leather - quite topical subject matter and a cracking pace to the storyline. I can happily recommend him.

The Time-Traveller`s Wife - Audrey Niffenegger (sci-fi)

House of Leaves by Mark Z Danielewski (mindf*** of epic proportions)

I was recomended a good one on here .... Edmund Cooper `Who needs men` :p

Any of Terry Pratchetts Discworld series.

Harry Harrisons Stainless Steel Rat series.

If you`d like a grown up sort of LOTR try Stephen Donaldsons Chronicles of Thomas Covenant

The best that i can be i have mentioned about this book before on here... if you know of anyone who has difficulty communicating or a disability, then you will appreciate a bit more after reading this... Mrs marksparks999 knows him quite well as he was in the same nursing home as her mum.

The Belgariad series is much better - by David Eddings.

Never really liked autobiogs, and never had much time for the bloke, but was bought "Peter Kay`s Sound of Laughter" for Christmas. Absolutely brilliant, very highly recommended.

Apart from that, any Pratchett Discworld book as already mentioned, any Jeffrey Deaver r James Herbert should help pass the time.

Damage Done: Twelve Years Of Hell In A Bankok Prison, by Warren Fellows

Awesome book, they usually have it in HMV for £2.99 aswell. It`s quite a short book aswell.

A few of my mates started talking about it on holiday last year saying they never read books but couldn`t put it down, so I got it when I got back and I`ve borrowed it to other people who have loved it aswell.

Quote:
In 1978 Warren Fellows was convicted of heroin trafficking between Thailand and Australia. He was sentenced to life imprisonment in the notorious Bang Kwang prison - better known as the Bangkok Hilton. It was the beginning of 12 years of hell in a place where sewer rats and cockroaches are the only nutritious food, where prison guards laugh as they deliver pulverising blows and where the worst punishment is the khun deo - solitary confinement, Thai style. The Damage Done is one man`s story of an unthinkable nightmare. It is not Warren Fellows` plea for forgiveness nor his denial of guilt, but a story of endurance and survival and the abuse of human rights during the decade of a life wasted in leg irons. It is an essential read: hearbreaking, fascinating and impossible to put down.

My DVD collection
