He speaks truth. Also I believe he's got a new one out...Diary i think. I'll have to check that out soon.
and of course CubicZ was right on the money too...Shogun is the way to go if you like to read...a lot.
EDIT: also saw a few other suggestions i agree w/ 100%...Tom Clancy's Without Remorse is undoubtable my favorite of his, and someone else said Stephen King's Dark Tower series - its actually a lot different than his other books so even if you dont like King its worth a shot.
a few other suggestions:
To Hell and Back (Audie Murphy) if you like war novels
the Krondor series (Feist) if you like fantasy
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is 10x better than the movie (mostly because the movie blew ass, not because the book is that incredibly good)
almost anything by Crichton
another edit: just read the post about RL Stine, and I was thinking...you ever realize how much money that guy probably made off sh!tty ideas? I mean to be fair, most books for kids that age aren't anything too spectacular, but come on. The guy wrote a book about a sponge that lived under the sink. A
sponge for chrissakes. He probably could've written a book about a spooky clock and sold copies. Oh wait,
he did.
