I wouldn't mind knowing what books to avoid either. But if you got the time, check out the "Necroscope" series by Brian Lumley. Your skin will crawl.

    I've already read Sephen King's books. I really don't mind reading anybooks, as long as they aren't religious. Any will do but I really enjoy thriller, romance, and biographical works.

    Have you read any of John Grisham's books?

    The only one of his books I've read that I didn't like that much was "A Painted House". All the law ones I've read have rocked (It amuses me at least). blink.gif I've read A Time to Kill, The Firm, The Client, The Chamber, The Runaway Jury, The Partner, The Street Lawyer, The Testament (I think this was the first one of his books I read. Definitely one of my favorites), and The Brethren.

    I never realized how many of his books I'd actually read till I typed out this list. blink.gif

    Yes, I have read "A Time to Kill", that was a very intense book. I have copied and pasted the other titles so I can check them out, good call.

    What kind of genre are you into? If you like fantasy/sci-fi I'd suggest the "His Dark Materials" triology by Philip Pullman, and if you like historical war-period romance, then I suggest "The Bronze Horseman" by Paullina Simons c:

    If you can do some science fiction (as opposed to fantasy) check out Isaac Asimov's Foundation series. I'm really getting into them.

    Otherwise, read Terry Pratchett or Jane Yolen for some fantasy. I mean, I don't know how in depth you like your stories. If you want to go classic, get Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time. That'll mess with your head a bit.

    Romance wise: the twilight series (read all four books in 3 days), classics like gone with the wind

    Is that a book or magazine?

    I had my fun with Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Anatomy and Sociology, and a little environmental science. I already have a perspective, it just isn't like yours. Your percieved truth will not always coincide with my percieved truth.

    Two journals.
    "Science" and "Nature".

    Truth is truth.

    Thank you for clarifying but "percieved" truth is very different from truth. I will check those out, science and nature (topics) are two of my loves.

    Physics wise.

    Some good brain busters for laymen would be "QED" by Feynman or for some of the stranger theoretical physics try some of Stephen Hawkings books like "A brief history of time"
