does anyone know of a good read,,,
nearly every fiction book i read is lame....
I read plenty of non-fiction, but enjoy a good interesting story..

I am currently reading my 3rd Dean Koontz, I recently read Intensity & Velocity. Intensity was the better of the 2 IMO

what kind of books do you like? I read a lot, but it really depends on what you like in order for me to suggest something :)

I just finished "Skinny Dip" by Carl Hiaasen - fun reads in every book of his so far...but they are very Florida minded.
In fact I have a W.E.B Griffin WWII book for my next one...I'm slow starting it because it is soooo serious in comparison. I think I would prefer another Carl Hiaasen right now!B|

I recommended this book to a friend about 4 months ago... its pretty good and is nonfiction its called...

Life is So Good by George Dawson & Richard Glaubman its about a black manual laborer who learned to read at age 98, has written a memoir that stands apart from other end-of-the-century texts and from the history generally recorded in textbooks--but is essential to an accurate understanding of this century.

I found it at a used bookstore and really enjoyed it...

If you're looking for something a little off the wall but not too particularly brain intensive,
try A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole, Choke by Chuck Palahniuk (the guy who wrote Fight Club, also good), or pretty much anything Kurt Vonnegut or Irvine Welsh.

Byzantium by Stephen R. Lawhead

"The narrative has the excitement of a good fantasy novel, a vivid historical setting and a lengthy, credible and satisfying plot - just the elements, in fact, that have made Lawhead a commercial success time and again." Publishers Weekly

"Engrossing with plenty of plot twists... Worthwhile for Lawhead regulars and historical-fantasy fans alike." Kirkus Reviews

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance - Robert M. Pirsig
Ishmael - Daniel Quinn
Blink - Malcolm Gladwell
Life of Pi - Yann Martel
The Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini
