HERE ARE SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR READING:
**LAURELL K HAMILTON--ANITA BLAKE SERIES
IN THIS SET OF ELEVEN BOOKS, WE FOLLOW THE ADVENTURES OF ANITA BLAKE (OTHERWISE NAMED THE EXECUTIONER) AS SHE TRIES TO HAVE A NORMAL LIFE, KILLING VAMPIRES AS A
HOBBY AND RAISING ZOMBIES FOR A LIVING!
**NANCY A. COLLINS--MIDNIGHT BLUE AND A DOZEN BLACK ROSES
HERE WE FOLLOW THE CREATION OF SONYA BLUE, A VAMPIRE WHO KILLS VAMPIRES. NOT ONLY ARE THEY HORROR NOVELS BUT THEY ARE
PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLERS AS WELL!
**NANCY COLLINS ALSO WROTE -- ANGELS ON FIRE
A NEW TAKE ON THE THEORY OF ANGELS AND THEIR PLACE IN THE UNIVERSE. WARNING! THIS IS A DARK NOVEL. NOT TO BE READ IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR ANGELS OF INSPIRATION.
**BRIAN LUMLEY-- NECROSCOPE SERIES BEGINNING WITH, YOU GUESSED IT, NECROSCOPE. THRILLING TO THE END IF YOU DON'T MIND A BIT OF THINKING AND SCIENCE. HARRY KEOGH HAS WHAT YOU COULD CALL A GIFT OR A CURSE. HE CAN SPEAK TO THE DEAD! THIS REALLY COMES IN HANDY WHEN BATTLING THE FORCES OF EVIL.
**TERRY BROOKS--THE MAGIC KINGDOM OF LANDOVER SERIES
EXACTLY HOW MUCH TROUBLE CAN ONE MAN GET INTO, ANYWAY?! THERE ARE FIVE BOOKS (SO FAR) IN THIS HILARIOUS SERIES AS WE FOLLOW BEN HOLIDAY AND HIS NEW FRIENDS IN THEIR MISADVENTURES.
**JOEL ROSENBERG--THE GUARDIANS OF THE FLAME SERIES
SO FAR THERE ARE FIVE BOOKS IN THIS ADVENTUROUS TALE OF FREEDOM FIGHTERS FROM OUR LAND TAKING ON SLAVERY IN ANOTHER DIMENSION.
**DAVID WEBER--THE HONOR HARRINGTON SERIES
YEAH ANOTHER SERIES ABOUT A WOMAN WHO KICKS BUT, EXCEPT THIS TIME ITS IN OUTER SPACE. TECHNICAL BUT ACTION PACKED AS WELL!!!
**THE ALIEN VS PREDATOR SERIES... THERE ARE MANY AND THEY ARE GOOD!
**LIFE IN THE BOSTON CUBE-- I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE AUTHOR BUT THIS FUTURISTIC MYSTERY WAS FULL OF ACTION. BOSTON HAS BUILT ITSELF INTO A MILE HIGH CUBE AND IS NOT EARTH'S FIRST SPACE PORT!
**PETER O'DONNELL--MODESTY BLAISE
WHAT CAN I SAY, MODESTY IS INCREDIBLE. ACTION PACKED LIKE A FEMALE JAMES BOND NOVEL. AND THERE ARE PLENTY OF THEM IF YOU CAN GET YOUR HANDS ON THEM!!!
**IAN FLEMMING--OF COURSE NOW THAT I HAVE MENTIONED MODESTY BLAISE I MUST MENTION BOND, JAMES BOND, 007.
**LILLIAN JACKSON BRAUN--THE CAT WHO SERIES
I'VE LOST COUNT OF HOW MANY BOOKS THIS SERIES CONTAINS BUT IT WAS EXCELLENT. THE MAIN CHARACTER IS YOUR AVERAGE RUN ON THE MILL PERSON BUT WHAT MAKES THIS SERIES SPECIAL ARE HIS SIAMESE CATS WHO HELP SOLVE THE CRIMES. ELEMENTARY MY DEAR
POOKIE!
**JAMES REDFIELD--THE CELESTINE PROPHECY
I LOVED THIS BOOK! THE ADVENTUROUS STORY DID LITTLE TO MASK THE INSIGHTFUL TEACHINGS HIDDEN IN EVERY LINE. I SAW MUCH TRUTH TO THE AUTHOR'S WORDS AND FEEL YOU WILL BENEFIT FROM HIS TEACHINGS.
**HUSTON SMITH--THE RELIGIONS OF MAN
THIS BOOK GIVES A BRIEF LESSON ON ALL OF THE MAJOR EARTH RELIGIONS AND I FOUND IT VERY INFORMATIVE WHEN I WAS SEARCHING FOR WHERE MY FAITH MAY HAVE ORIGINATED.
**JOHN GRAY PHD--MEN ARE FROM MARS, WOMEN ARE FROM VENUS
THIS BOOKS GIVES A PERSON INSIGHT INTO OTHERS IN AN ATTEMPT TO UNDERSTAND THOSE AROUND YOU. NOT JUST MEN AND WOMEN BUT EVERYONE.
**L RON HUBBARD--DIANETICS
BEFORE YOU SAY THAT THIS IS ANOTHER BOOK ON RELIGION YOU SHOULD READ THIS BOOK. IT HAS GREAT INSIGHT ON THE HUMAN PSYCHE. FOR ME, IT WAS PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPY.
**JOHN UPDIKE--WITCHES OF EASTWICK
A VERY SENSUOUSLY WRITTEN NOVEL. YOU KNOW THE MOVIE BUT YOU DON'T KNOW IMAGINATION UNTIL YOU'VE READ THE BOOK. THE AUTHOR IS VERY, VERY DESCRIPTIVE.
**KATHRYN HARVEY--BUTTERFLY
THIS BOOK IS VERY SATISFYING FOR ANYONE WHO HAS EVER WANTED TO GET REVENGE. THE SEQUEL-STARS- IS GOOD TOO.
**NEIL GAIMAN AND TERRY PRATCHETT--GOOD OMENS
IF YOU LIKE MONTY PYTHON TYPE HUMOR AND STORIES OF THE APOCALYPSE, THEN YOU'LL LOVE THIS ONE. IT IS HILARIOUS!
THERE ARE MANY MORE WHERE THOSE CAME FROM!!!
