But then I haven't even mentioned Gerald Durrell, AJ Quinnell, Louis L'Amour, Jack Schaeffer, James Thurber, Mark Twain...

Wow, you guys have done a lot of heavy reading. I guess I'll list my five favorite modern books and five classics

Christine by Stephen King (the danger of old cars)
Weaveworld by Clive Barker (great fantasy)
Midnight by Philip Carraher (the danger of strangers and dogs from hell)
Mr. Murder by Dean Koontz (one of his good ones, they vary in quality)

Classic
Crime and Punishment (a murder story with a regretful killer)
All Sherlock Holmes stories by Doyle (Isn't Sherlock the first super hero?)
Short stories by Poe (easy to forget him but his stories in grade school got me interested in reading and he invented the murder mystery)
Alice in Wonderland (the first fantasy)
Dracula (the first part of the book is great, the rest lags a bit, still a classic)

My top books would probably vary from week to week, but here goes:

1) The Bad Place - Dean R. Koontz
2) From Here to Eternity, The Thin Red Line, Whistle (trilogy of three books) - James Jones
3) The Loser - William Hoffman, Jr.

I have one further recommendation: Read them with your eyes, but if you are blind get them in Braille.

Oh yeah, if you tell people that you are blind, but you just read that, then it means you're not blind, so stop kidding people.

Cool.

Nothing. What does what you like have to do with what I said though? And I tried to read Harry Potter 1 as well as 2...I can't...they are horrible.

Nothing except you seemed to be insinuating that I don't read good books.

What's wrong with that? That book is a lot better than any movie that's come out.

You're shit, more like.

Blue_Hefner, I don't think you can read. You just like looking at the pictures in all those books you listed, don't you?

Why not respect we have different opinions.
If not no reason to make this list.
It is actually quite interesting why other people think a book is exceptionally good when you self think it is nothing special.

I did read most of the first Harry Potter book and think it was nothing special - especially the language and explanations were not so good. The movies are a lot better. Normally I think books are much better compared to movies, but not for Harry Potter.

Everyone is happy to respect a person's right to make their own choices, but people also have a right to ridicule some of those choices.

If you don't want to be ridiculed, then don't rate shit books highly. See, life is simple.

I have a hard time finishing books once I've started. I'll read half-way through a book and usually get another book to read at the same time so I start on that one cause the one I was reading doesn't really interest me.

If only Pride and Prejudice were gothic.

Something might actually happen in it.

Originally posted by chillmeistergen
Gothic genre madness.

As far as I know, none of these books actually belongs to the gothic genre. North & South highlights the issues of the working class plus a little romance of course. It's not actually classified as a gothic novel. Jane Eyre could be considered as either a romantic novel - or a victorian novel. I myself would not describe it as a gothic novel, even though the novel contains both horror and romance.(..) The Remains of the Day is certainly not a gothic novel, nor is Pride & Prejudice. Bleak House could be, it did influence Dickens as a writer, but at the same time I won't describe it as a classic gothic novel.

Regards, Yvonne

Jane Eyre certainly has gothic elements.

True, I agree, but I still don't see it as a gothic novel.

Regards, Yvonne

Well, it's not really. Just saying.
