oh, king of fighters, if you enjoyed to kill a mocking bird for it's anti-racism messages, you may also want to consider Black Like Me by john howard griffin, Black Boy by richard wright, and a book title that i'm not even gonna try to get past the forum sensors, lets just say it's the n-word, by dick gregory with robert lipsyte. If you liked it for the court sequences, Inherit the Wind by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee is good, and i might suggest anything by john grisham.

I can't believe I misses the Piers Anthony books set in Xanth. I am reading one on tape now and was wondering if anyone knew of a good site to pick up the first couple of books in the Xanth series in ebook format. Preferably pda, mobipocket or text format.

When I'm in a fantasy/sci-fi mood, I reach for anything by Anne McCaffrey, especially the Acorna and Dragonriders of Pern series.

 

Anything by Douglas Adams is a good pick, too.

Dan Simmons Hyperion saga

 

Iain Banks sci fi - great, brilliant, sometimes savage fun

 

Murakami - the alienation of modern life and the search for love/meaning

 

JG Ballard - the closeness we all are to barbarians

 

Primo Levi - tales of humanity in hell

 

so many others. I love reading

700 hours of official training. Injury finished me dammit!

I love the Anne Rice novels but my fvorite book of all time ws "The Count of Monte Cristo" by Alexander Dumas. I have read it 6 times since 10th grade and absolutley adore it. The plot set up is tremendously well done as wel as character development. I hate the new movie to extreme jsut because it was a major slap in the face.
