some more good series books are The Lord of the Rings byT.R.R.Tolkien this is the first 1 and there are 2 moreThe Two Towers and Return of the King the background book that really starts the series off is The Hobbit a lot of people read these as kids but I somehow missed them and did not read them until I was much older but they kept me up at night another series is DUNE by F Herbert another if you can stand blood and gore is AZTEC by Gary Jennings is very good and interesting be warned tho --it has lots of cutting out of hearts but is worth reading for the story line
The Dune book we never read - don't know about the gore stuff, but the Hobbit, The Lord of Rings, etc. are the greatest! At the moment I am reading "Marley and Me" by John Grogan. Really good book.
