If you like crime thrillers -   The Millennium Series by Steig LARSSON  1) The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo 2) The Girl who Played with Fire and 3)  The Girl who Kicked the Hornets Nest.
All 3 books are a top read.

I've read the books and I really like them, not sure how well they are translated to English or any other language but they're really good in Swedish. The movies are okay... though I don't really like the American version since the characters are changed a bit too much.

For Fantasy lovers, I'd recommend Lord of the Rings ofcourse, but for those that love thick books, with lots of twists, plots and turns over a course of 10 books, I'd advice the series of Terry Goodkind. I'm not sure what the title of the saga is, but translated from dutch, it would be "the ten laws of Magic'. I'm sure someone will add the saga's title in english if I got it wrong? :) thanks in advance

'Sword of Truth' is the first book of ten.. and each part is better as the last one.. I read the whole saga (took a few years) and was amazed with the complexness of the story..

I probably come across as a real boring bookworm, I'm into all the Greek classics & Mythology, I like Shakespeare, Ibsen, Poe, Dickens, Jane Austen, Thomas Hardy, Bronte Sisters, but I love  fantasies too and have read all of the Lord of The Rings and the Hobbit and even Sylmarillion, my favorites are all the discworld series by Terry Pratchett, an English Children's Author I started out reading his kids books. No I didn't get out much, ok!

Dennis L. McKiernan's The Iron Tower  series is a good read for those that enjoyed LOTR,...
Donald Stephens Wound Land series would be a good compliment.

For a good laugh in a mythical world,... any of Piers Anthony works would be worth the time.

Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy though... still a great comical classic...

BTW when are they going to release towels for us here?

I'm an avid reader and I just finished The Lady's Tutor by Robin Schone

The buzz on Lady's Tutor was that it is sexually explicit, a very hot book. Romance is often a derivative genre and I wondered, as I opened it, what form this sizzling story would take. Would the writing be romantically sexy like Dara Joy? Would it border on erotica like Beatrice Small, Thea Devine or Susan Johnson? Would I read it compulsively and but feel depressed?

Silly me. The Lady's Tutor is a beautifully written and original story that takes its cues from no one. I swallowed it whole, sat up til 2:00 AM (most of the time with my hand in my panties) and would have been up until 4:00 if I'd been able. To me, this is one terrific book.

Nice Mollie you found this topic... and it's hot just to read your experiences while you read it :)

Yes Blue, I know the film.... great :) Also heard the book "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe".. ok.. not so good in my opinon.
But Douglas Adams also made 3 parts or the series "Dr. Who" which is great.
