JOHN GRISHAM is a decent author, although all of his books develop a pattern to them after a while. THE FIRM and THE CLIENT, rank as his best efforts imo - but all of his books are good.

Most of you have heard of DOUGLAS ADAMS (rip), but how many have read the DIRK GENTLY'S HOLISTIC DETECTIVE AGENCY? very funny, and another trilogy, I think..

Just a few to get you going...any suggestions?

I'm certainly no hard core reader, mainly for the reason that a book has to grab me within the first 10 pages or so or I give up on it, but there have been a few beuts I've read. Some most readers will have read, but a couple lesser known ones as well. Trying to be in somewhat of an order:

"The Eye's of the Dragon"(by far THE best book I've ever read. There is plent of reason Stephen King is consistantly a best seller and it's not just the name)
"Ender's Game"(check it out. Not well known but VERY good)
"Firestarter"(movie's cool too)
"Runelords"(a fantasy type book. I think it's a series, but it's the only one I've read and if there's more I'd like to read them because it was a good read)
"Needful Things"(Probably half the books I've read are Stephen King. A good writer indeed)
"Cat and Mouse"(James Patterson, a pretty good writer, but Spider or whatever it was called was dumb. Read about 5 or so of his books and all were good but that one)
"Jurassic Park"(Jurassic Park is frightning in the dark, all the Dinosaurs are running wild. Someone let T-Rex out of his pen. I admit it's kinda eery, but this proves my chaos theory and I don't think I'll be coming back againnnnnn. OHHHHHHH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!...)
"The Hatchet"(It's like a kid's book, but I remember liking it a lot when I was in Middle School and I'm sure I still would if I read it again)

Well I guess those are my top choices, I've probably forgotten one or two though. I'll be sure to check out the ones I haven't heard of y'all mentioned though.

um, that's all I can think of at the
