If you're into Fantasy i'd say the "Forgotten Realms" are good with Drizzt Do'Urden 
although my Personal Favorite are Elric-Stories (Michael Moorcock) |
I've read the first Drizzt novel
need to buy the others...
Stainless Steel Rat
think interplanitery crook
who is super genius
the one thing he is not
is homicidal
but his wife
also a genius super villan
is homicidal
it gets funnier from there
Front Line General: Douglas Macarthur
think colenel oneel from stargate, exept in real life...

| My fav author is Tom Clancy. now that dude can write. you should check his stuff out. but a lot of his stuff is chronological so you kind of have to start in hte beginning. |

They're kind of like Tom Clancy, only with no Ultra-Conservitave douchebaggery |

"American Gods" by Neil Gaiman is really good. One of his other books, "Anansi Boys" is really funny, but the ending is kind of weak. Great otherwise.

I am currently reading Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden. Man, this book has one of the most detailed descriptive stories I have read so far. I really recommend this book =)

hahahaha ultra conservative douchebaggery? But where's the fun in not having that?
I took the lazy option and just watched the movies. How are they anything like Tom Clancy?
I used to like his books when i was thirteenish but i dont read that kinda fiction anymore.

Dracula
Death of Superman
Black Like Me (Dude, this book is awesome)
Alice in Wonderland (so many drug referrences in this book, its not really a kiddy book if you read it carefully) |
