    I need a new book....What do you recommend?

    I've been reading a lot of Ludlum, some Clancy and Stephen King.

    One of my favorite books ever was The Celestine Prophecy.

    I'm in the mood for some Sci-Fi but I don't want to get into a series and I don't want to start reading some crapp. I want a good stand-alone book.

    What's good lately?



    And if you have an amazon.com ref code...Link me up!

          Did you read the rest of the books in the Celestine trilogy? The 10th Prophecy (or was it the 11th LOL) was good but a little hard to get through but the last one , The Secret of the Shambala I enjoyed a lot.

          I haven't really read any good books lately I would love to hear some suggestions as well

              For sci fi I like anything long or short by the sixties revisionist guys that are still around like Harlan Ellison - though Roger Zelazny is still the best writer from that period (died in 95, though, so I don't know how recent any of his latest/last stuff is).

              For some reason I got a bunch of John Grisham paperbacks recently, and once I finished one, I started going through the rest like potato chips.

              I don't know, whenver I run out of anything I fall back on the Hobbit or Lord of the Rings for some reason, mainly for the "flavor" of the language, the mood... know what I mean?

                      I read Digital Fortress by Dan Brown last month. It was pretty good! I'd like to try a new Author.

                      Crossing the Rubicon looks good

                                      Can you recommend a title by Roger Zelazny?

                                      Grisham is good!

                                      As for LOTR....I've tried to read it several time, but couldn't get through that brutally long epilogue.

                                          You probably have already read them but have to plug two oldies, the Great Gatsby and Autobiography of Malcolm X.

                                              Try the Ender Series by Orsan Scott Card. I dont know why but every few years i fall back and read em again.

                                              The four titles are

                                              Ender's Game
                                              Speaker for the Dead
                                              Xenocide
                                              Ender's Shadow

                                                          Ender's Shadow

                                                          Yep - Enders Game is a good stand alone novel if you aren't looking for a series, the rest are sort of add-ons.

                                                          Also good in the one-off or two-off department is Dan Simmons. Hyperion, or for that matter any of his other sci fi stuff.

                                                                  I know you wanna stay away from the book series, but the Left Behind series is pretty cool too. The series focuses primarily on religion and Revelations...which I thought would turn me off since Im not really the religious type, but I really enjoyed it.
