I got on the library's site to download an e-book to read, but I've had to jump on the wait list for all my choices. So, I guess the question is, read any good books lately?

The Bible. One of the best fiction books ever written.

Right now I'm reading Digital Fortress by Dan Brown (Same writer of the Di Vinci Code)
I have enjoyed all of Brad Melter books. In some, he kind of mixes a little of truth in.

Hunger Games, trilogy, although I didn't like the epi.

I'll have to check out Brad Meltzer. I've seen him on the History Channel for a few shows and I like historical/political fiction, so maybe I'll give his books a whirl.

I've read the Hunger Games trilogy several times, but thanks for the recommendation. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a book and yes, the epilogue seems kind of like a cop-out. I think I would have preferred a fourth "reconstruction era" book for closure rather than a "they lived happily ever after" epilogue.

And I will choose to ignore the comment about the Bible since I came here looking for a recommendation for a book, not a fight over religion.

How about some Stephen King? I love reading his books. My favorite by him is Insomnia.

I like reading both Sandra Brown and Nora Roberts.  Have you tried either of them?

[Skittelroo]

Currently re-reading Undone by Karin Slaughter.  Her books are similar to Patricia Cornwell's, murder, medical, detective work, etc

Game of Thrones series.

Game of thrones series.

GAME OF THRONES SERIES.

If you enjoy action or suspense there's Clancy and Cussler

I enjoy the Tom Clancy series, you don't have to read them in order - but it helps as the characters evolve.   A few have made the cinema, but the books are so much better (as they always are)

BM  can't help but insult - it's like he's in the 4th grade trying to be the class clown...

I am currently wait-listed for Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, the Game of Thrones books, the Sookie Stackhouse novels, and the James Patterson Women's Murder Club novels.

I would like to pick up with Clancy or Patterson's series books, but I've seen some of the movies made based on the books and I'm not sure that I'd finish them knowing the outcome. I haven't watched the Game of Thrones and am waiting to see the Abraham Lincoln flick until I read the books first. I do watch True Blood, so I'm trying to play catch-up before I lose interest in reading the series. 

I'll have to check out the other authors...it looks like there's a lot of other horror/suspense lovers out there. I like to be scared in the privacy of my home with the doors locked and phone at hand

If you like to be scared, read "Pet Semetary", by Stephen King, and read the last chapter when you are alone in the middle of the night!

[Monique]

I *don't* like to be scared. I've tried to get into Stephen King, but his book "On Writing" is as far as I got.

For fiction, I've recently enjoyed Anne Tyler, Gail Tsukiyama, and Wally Lamb. All good stuff, but definitely not horror or suspense! More like life studies, I suppose.

I just finished Mystic River...not bad...waiting now to see the movie.....also read Lonesome Dove...nice western and I liked the movie....currently reading Turn Me Into Zeus' Daughter....non-fiction
