I have run out of good books!

Hi Agirnow, I can't imagine anyone running out of good books to read. I think you will find many outstanding books in Project Gutenberg. Since the copyright of the books have expired, you can download so many books to read. I enjoy reading Mark Twain and Saki. Saki's writings were very funny.

here are just some books that i enjoyed reading: the curious incident of the dog in the night-time sloppy firsts second helpings charmed thirds fourth comings perfect fifths enjoy!

I love reading books too and in actual fact it is one of my preferred hobbies. However I don't know why and perhaps by the sound of it you feel the same I always tend to feel sadness when I come to the end of a book. I always have to make sure I have another book on standby so I can move on straight away otherwise I start feeling a little down. My favourite books as you have mentioned are novels by Jane Austen and JK Rowling. I am also a fan of the author Martina Cole as her east end stories are gritty and the language used in them doesn't confuse the reader as the english used is blunt and straight to the point. I also enjoy Catherine Cookson books and have recently gained a real liking for James Herbert books such as The Magic Cottage and Creed. A book i'm desperate to read though is the latest offering from Dan Brown...The Lost Symbol. I have still yet to buy this book but as soon as I have it in my possession I know i'll devour it within a couple of days. If it's anything like Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons it's sure to be a hit.

If you can get your hands on a copy, try "A Moment In Time," by Bertrice Small. The prose is so rich, and the plot is excellent. It's one of my favorite reads. A word of advice--avoid Bledding Sorrow by Marilyn Harris, especially if you're going through tough times right now. That book will only depress you more. I rarely say this, but Bledding Sorrow is a book that I won't be reading again.

"Phantom" by Susan Kay "All I Need to Know I Learned in Kindgarten" by Robert Fulghum "The Only Alien on the Planet" by Kristin D. Randle "Night" by Elie Wiesel "Alas, Babylon" by Pat Frank

I'm into 2 Swedish authors (translated into English, of course): Stieg Larsson's millenium trilogy (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, the Girl Who Played with Fire and a third one which I have not yet read because I could not find the English version). I also recommend Henkel Manning's books which are very interesting and suspenseful such as One Step Behind, Kennedy's Brain, The Eye of the Leopard, Faceless Killers and Sidetracked.

If you're fond of historical fiction you could try "Far Pavilions" by M.M. Kaye. It is a nice heavy piece though, over 850 pages (I'm talking about Estonian translation I own) but I couldn't put it down. The father of the author was in the Indian Civil Service, and her husband was an army officer there, so she really knows what she is talking about. There were mini series created after the book - I've never saw them, though, and as we, readers, know - the book is always better than the film Read more about this book on http://www.purrlions.net/ash/index.htm Her other book I've read, "Shadow of the Moon", is also good but "Pavilions" are better, in my opinion.

Try John Le Carre's spy books. These are undoubtedly some of the best there are. A mixture of literature and great adventure with a classic writing style. The best, as far as I am concerned was " The Honourable Schoolboy " Try it.

I would suggest reading Christine Feehan. She has three series that are really good. One is the Drake Sisters series, the 2nd is GhostWalkers, and the 3rd is The Dark series. Check her website out: www.christinefeehan.com Also, try out Nora Roberts, she has a lot of good books to read. Also, Susan Wiggs, Emilie Richards, Susan Mallery, and Linda Lael Miller have new books out that are really good.

"Everything is Illuminated" is a book that saw me through a time when I was "lost." It's funny though. It's the story of a writer who goes to Ukraine to learn more about his family's origins and his tour guide who wants to be a writer as well (and score chicks). It's technically a holocaust novel but directly: the writer's grandparents survived the holocaust. It's a really funny book mainly because the use of the English language is very very VERY unexpected. On the other hand, the stories that these character discover are heart wrenching. I highly highly HIGHLY recommend "Every is Illuminated."
