i am glad i got it when it was first released as it is hella expensive now

Starship Troopers- Heinlein

They won't let me post it here; too religious. [:)]

Demon Haunted World by Carl Sagan.

You won't like what you read in all likelihood, which is probably why you need to read it.

Honourary mention. Book 9 of the Sword of Truth series was quite an interesting statement. But you'd need to read the first 8 to get the full effect.

Love Letters by Debbie Macomber, and no, guys, it won't do anything for you I'm sure But it opened my eyes to where my writing was supposed to be. 30 years wasted trying to discover what I really wanted to write as an author (I thought for a long time it was supposed to be science fiction), and then life put me in the right situation to realize, I'd always wanted to write romance novels. I write romance novels by the way.

I could go on...and on and on...

The First Man in Rome, Colleen McCullough

"The Sandpebbles"

"The Count of Monte Cristo"

Chuck

PS : Well worth reading unabridged - 1,462 pages. Reading it every two or three years also recommended.

Jane Austen - Pride and Prejudice. Good for a read through every couple of years. Never fails to lift my spirits.

The Complete Hammer's Slammers

The Cruel Sea by Nicholas Monserrat
The story of the crew (from capt to stocker) of the sloop Compass Rose during the Atlantic convoys during WW2

The Book of Lost Books - a list of all the books that were known to exist, but are sadly lost to us.

Right out of my head, three:

- The Lord of The Rings. read it in portuguese translation three times and in english a couple more

- Of Human Bondage by Somerset Maugham.

- the short and haunting novella by Tolstoi, The Death of Ivan Ilyich

Well now I know to read one of Colleen McCullough's books that's sitting on my shelf.

Besides the Bible of course, I would say "Landscape Turned Red: The Battle of Antietam," by Stephen W. Sears. Playing it in conjunction with SSI's Battle of Antietam is what makes it so memorable.

ORIGINAL: Matti Kuokkanen

The Complete Hammer's Slammers
