I got that one for xmas, but haven't read it. I was a little intimidated by its 1100 pages, and I didn't wanna get 400 pages into it and realize it sucked. If it really that good (I have heard its King's best book), then I might start there.

Count of Monte Cristo

Dark Tower Series

It is a toss up between "The Stand: The Unabridged Version" or "Dune"

Most of Stephen King's stuff is really good. I find that it sometimes takes a bit to get into his book, but once you're in, you are HOOKED.


I like Mark Twain, too.


LOL @ Hop on Pop.

while the stand is long it is a very good book.

The Dark Tower series is a love it or hate it series. I'd suggest NOT reading it for that reason unless you have lots of free time.

The thread is "Best book you've ever read" not "best book Forsythe has ever read."

I have only read The Stand once, but it did make a lasting impression. Dune I have read about 5 times.

Dirk Pitt series by Clive Cussler... see ya in a few months.

All the books in the Ender series are good reads. I have heard good things about snow crash by Neal Stephenson. Count of Monte Cristo is a good read but its long (1462 pages). Also there are a number of good lists for different types of books, pick your favorite genre and go to google and look up best books from genre.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Stephenson's Snow Crash is good, but his Cryptonomicon is much, much better, as is his Baroque Cycle trilogy.

Kommando

german special forces of WW2. not the best, but its up there near the top, damned interesting and i cant recall even seeing most of this on the history channel.

Dune, by Frank Herbert. It's every bit as huge and immersive as LOTR but more philosophical and profound. I also really liked Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. It's difficult to read at first because of the diction and sentence structure, but it is amazingly powerful.
