Recommend me a book please, based on what I have liked previously?

Okay. It requires an investment, because the overall story is split into 7 books that total over 3000 pages, but if you haven't read the dark tower series by Stephen King, i'd check it out. Even if your not a huge fan of his more famous books, the writing style and subject matter are quite a bit different, borrowing more from fantasy type tales, but infusing it with sci-fi, horror, and real world references. It revolves around Roland, the last Gunslinger (which

is kind of like a knight....), and his quest for the Dark Tower, which lies at the center of all worlds. Be warned, it can seem long towards the end, but the payoff is well worth the investment, and the first four books are certainly some of King's best work. I'd also recommend Michael Connelly's "the Poet", or any of his Harry Bosch novels (It's better if you read them in order, but MY personal faves were the concrete blonde and Angels Flight). Robert Crais' Elvis Cole novels only seem to get better as he goes, and "Every Dead Thing" by John Connelly was a great police/detective novel with a supernatural/creepy kind of feel to it. If you like short stories, I'd recommend picking up Night Shift and Everything's Eventual (Skeleton Crew is pretty good, too) also by Stephen King. The stories can be hit or miss, but you're guaranteed at least a couple of really nice gems in each.

Have you read the rest of the Dune books? I have all of Frank Herbert's Dune series autographed. I also bought the ones with his son and Kevin J. Anderson.

I also really like the Thursday Next novels by Jasper Fforde that start with The Eyre Affair.

There is a great book called Papillion about a bloke who was put in jail in france and kept escaping. I love escape books. I jsut read a great book about a guy who was imprisoned in a Thai jail,but I can't remember what it was called. You might enjoy some of the John Wyndham books? He wrote Day of the Triffids, amongst other things. Perhaps you would also enjoy COMA by Robin Cook (it is a medical thriller and very easy reading, but also compelling)....

THere are so many good books out there!!!!

I love David Morrell, Matthew Reilly (totally action packed books), Dan Brown, Dean Koontz (Watchers is especially good) etc etc.

But yeah, if you go to your local library, they will certainly help you out!!!!

you have a powerful and eclectic style in examining. jointly as i'm an older reader and evade on the teen stuff like Vampire romance and Harry Potter variety stuff, you have examine most of the books I certainly have and prefer. The suggestion approximately Preston and newborn novels is a powerful one. i admire their books. A author I certainly have these days all started examining is James Rollins, exciting and exiting journey novels. in case you do no longer innovations previous type discovery/journey of lost worlds and civilizations or semi-historic fiction with at times almost supernatural overtones, inspect H. Rider Haggard (King Solomon's Mines, SHE, the persons of the Mist and quite a few different others) i admire his thoughts. Dan Browns's novels are sturdy. try Alexandre Dumas, too, for the Musketeers sequence. Tess Gerritsen is powerful too (the television coach Rizzoli and Isles relies upon her novels. in case you like Bones and Scarpetta, then Tess Gerritsen is sweet up your alley.

You might try my favorite authors in this order:

Matthew Reilly

Jack DuBrul

Paul Christopher

Raymond Khoury

Bob Morris

John Dunning

Ms.J.A.Jance

James Doss

Stuart Woods

Wen Spencer

Please, please, see your local librarian. They have books called "What People Read Next" that show what books to recommend based on what someone has enjoyed in the past. Librarians are trained in what are called "reader advisory services," and they love to help readers find their books.

I'm a librarian, but I'm in a college where this kind of service isn't really necessary,so I don't have access to good reader advisory resources, otherwise I would try to help you out myself.
