Wow, didn't know people actually read books here,=).
I younger so i haven't read some of the deeper books the world has to offer but some memorable ones are
The Martian Chronicles
Nikola Tesla -Man Out of Time
Devil in the White City-chronicles the building of the colunbian exhibition world's Fair as well as the dealings of a sychophathic killer during that time.
All the harry potters,big surprise.
Used to love the redwall series read all those as well in junior and elementary.
Anita blake vampire hunter novels,got pretty dirty and repetive in the 8th book or something so i stopped but they were pretty good.
Plante of the Apes
A couple of the Sidney SHledon books
And a lot of others that i can't remember right now. I'm currently reading the Bourne Identity i should be done with it soon. It is so different form the movies.
 
Oh yeah and all 3 lord of the Rings books,back in like 5th grade. It was the biggest waste of time, and the books are way too confusing and filled with useless details.

I think my sister has read the historian, I think i'm gonna add that to my list of summer reads.




3rd edit lol- My last book i finished was The World Without Us, i thought it was a pretty good read,very informational but not like a boring dictionary, it talks alot about prehistory as well as the future. Pretty new book as well.
 
Wheel of time series
20,000 leagues under the sea
i'll list more later
 
The last 3 books I read was Bury my heart at wounded knee, in the spirit of crazy horse, and then ask and it is given.
I am currently reading on the shoulders of giants :)
 
Too many to list individually, so I'll try and lump them together.

Stephen King
Wheel of Time
Robert a Heinlein
Arthur C Clarke RIP
Isaac Asimov
Dragonlance
Terry Pratchett
Neil Gaiman
Richard Matheson
RA Salvatore
Patricia Cornwell
Dean Koontz
Star Wars series

Basically whatever I can get my hands on. I also collect the old SF mags from the 40s-60s, like Amazing Tales.

Yes, I'm a big dork.:screwy:
