books

hi im trying to think of some books to ask for for christmas(cousin drawing is today and i have to have a list any ideas

The Year They Burned The Books or White Oleander

depends on what you like...I love those new thick history books, they cost from 20 to 90 USD, when I get a new house I must have a room that will be a libary.

Stefan King - Green Mile

A great book imo.

Anything from Anne Rice is good, if you're into vampire/witch tales. If you're more into classical literature, then something from Oscar Wilde, Shakespeare, Gaston Leroux, D.H. Lawrence (classical eroticism) or Robert Louis Stevenson. And Nick Hornby's books are fun and very good, but always very 'English' =)

thanks everyone

Good Omens
anything by

Tom Holt
Ed McBain
Robert Rankin

Autobiographies of

Michael J Fox
Christopher Reeve
Bob Geldof (if you can still get it)


OR a couple of music classics

Hammer Of The Gods
Diary Of A Rock n Roll Star

Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy and any of the discworld books.

OMG you absolutely have to get "the de vinci code" it is fabulous! I loved it. If you into mysteries and codes and religion and paris this book is for you.

Good Omens - very funny.

Strange: did you know that at college Robert Rankin accidentally spilled hot coffee on Freddie Mercury's lap? And that they're both fans of the painting "The Fairytellers Masterstroke"?

Great Expectations, easily the greatest book ever written and also a damn fine film starring John Mills.

What Nina said.

I agree. The Da Vinci Code is awesome. Who knew Da Vinci was a pillow biter?

i had no clue he was a pillow biter

Great Expectations, wonderful book :)
These are a few of my faves:

To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee
The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde
anything by Hermann Hesse
or if these are a bit too heavy...:
Blast from the Past - Ben Elton (very funny)
The Lifes and Loves of a She-devil - Fay Weldon (or other titles but this is my fave written by her)
The Hobbit - Tolkien
The Discovery of Heaven - Harry Mulisch.
