I am currently reading 'The Stand' by Stephen King, and would highly recommend it. It's a brilliant example of King's work, and is versatile enough to be liked by a wider range of people than the rest of his novels. It tells the story of American survivors, after a 'super-flu' bug swept the globe, killing about 90% of the population. Sounds a bit run-of-the-mill, but of course, there is a standard King twist into unreality.

I could never get through The Stand. I tried to read it four or five times. I would get about one hundred pages into it, and I would get so paranoid I could finish. I would hear people sneezing and coughing, and I would instantly think, Oh no people are getting sick. Maybe I am just paranoid. I feel after the bird flu scare I may have become accustomed to deadly viruses. In would like to try to read it again. I love Stephen Kings other works.

i love John Grisham too. well i like spy novels though John's doesnt really into spy. i like Ken Follett's novels and Nelson DeMille. they're of the same kind so browse some of their books. you'll have fun surely. for Ken's books, i like; Jackdaws [my favorite], The Pillars of the Earth, Lie Down With The Lions. and for nelson's my very favorite is The Talbot Odyssey. hope you'll have fun.=)

Hi joy, Depending upon your preference like what kind of books you like, then people can suggest good books. I like books of sprituality and philosophy. Books of Swami Vivekananda. In case if you are looking for humorous stuff, then try "Graduation album" by Ashley's.

If you want a book that will just knock yer socks off, you gotta read "Mortal Fear" by Greg Iles. It is a fantastic read.

I would suggest the Red Dragon series by Thomas Harris. These books are what the Silence of the Lambs movies are based on. I find the author to be very descriptive. You should also check out Andrew Vachs. He is another amazing author, although less well known.

if you like the john grisham types, maybe try a tom clancy book, i don't recommend "Debt of Honor" though.
