Reply:I%26#039;m really enjoying %26quot;Bones of the Master%26quot; by George Crane. It%26#039;s an incredibly powerful true story, about a Buddhist monk who escaped Maoist Mongolia, lives in Woodstock, is a poet and who went back into Mongolia with his friend who wrote the book. Very easy to read to. Also %26quot;the Convoluted Universe%26quot; pts. 1 and 2 are extremely interesting.
Reply:I know the following is a long list, but that is just so that you can pick which genre or storyline you feel like reading...





For horror/suspense:


-H.P. Lovecraft%26#039;s short stories, such as %26quot;The Dunwich Horror,%26quot; %26quot;The Dreams in the Witch-House,%26quot; %26quot;The Shadow Over Innsmouth%26quot; etc...Many of his stories have an excellent spook factor and eerie endings (and there are some excellent books that are collections of Lovecraft%26#039;s greatest works)


-Books by Dean Koontz - I%26#039;ve heard Watchers is good, which is why I%26#039;m working on that right now. Watchers involves the consequences of a top-secret government laboratory genetically altering two creatures - one a very intelligent dog and one a savage, violent monster. Koontz%26#039;s books have excellent suspense and even some mystery and horror intertwined in them.





For fantasy/fiction:


-The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien


-The Lord of the Rings trilogy by Tolkien


-The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis


-I don%26#039;t know how old you are, but when I was a little younger I liked a lot of Tamora Pierce%26#039;s series. My favorite series of hers was always Circle of Magic (which has four books, each one revolving around a kid with a special power...). I also heard her The Song of the Lioness series was good, which is about a girl trying to become a knight. (You don%26#039;t have to be young to enjoy her books/series...).


-For something a little more mature, perhaps, you could try George R.R. Martin%26#039;s fantasy novels/series. I have actually never read his stuff, but my dad enjoys his works (and so do many others I%26#039;ve talked to...). One fantasy series of his that is popular is called A Song of Ice and Fire.





For historical fiction (a lot of these contain underlying romance, as well):


-Anne of Green Gables series by Lucy Maud Montgomery (it has eight books overall, the first one being Anne of Green Gables). This series takes place in the early 1900s, and is about a hot-headed, stubborn orphan girl who finds a way of fitting into the little town of Avonlea on Prince Edward Island...


-Any of the books by Jane Austen, such as Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Persuasion, etc...Most of her books are about women of the 1800s and their attempts at fitting into society and finding romance/love, if you didn%26#039;t already know.


-Little Women by Louisa May Alcott - This is about four sisters in the 1860s, and it portrays how the sisters grow up, find romance/love, etc...





For something a little more classic, perhaps:


-Gulliver%26#039;s Travels by Jonathan Swift - This is about a sailor (I believe he was a ship captain) who, throughout the book, ends up in four different, interesting lands. One of the lands is inhabited by tiny people, one by giants, one by horses who talk, and one land floats in the air...


-Frankenstein by Mary Shelley





For Sci-Fi:


-books by Kurt Vonnegut, such as Slaughterhouse-Five, Cat%26#039;s Cradle, etc...His books contain ideas like time travel, aliens, etc.





Best wishes!
