Ok, I've looked overthe recommended book selections and it seems we have quite an intellectual group of choices. I am not the most intellectual of people so my recommendations might reflect that...
Also for the record I have only actually read one novel in my life, all the other's I listened to on audio cassette.
Maveric's Recommendations -
- Anything by Stephen King
(especially the Dark Tower Series)
- 2001, 2010, and 3001
by Arthur C Clarke (don't bother with 2064)
- The Light of Other Days
by Stephen Baxter & Arthur C. Clarke
- Stranger in a Strange Land
by Robert Hienlen
- Cabal
by Clive Barker (it was made into a movie horror called NightBreed)
- The Thrawn Trillogy
by Timothy Zahn (what happens after the Star Wars Movie trilogy)
- The Left Behind Series
by Dr. Tim LaHaye & Jerry B. Jenkins - (fictional tale about the events of Revelations happening in the present time)
- The Hannibal Trilogy
by Thomas Harris (thillers about serial killers and a pyshopathic pyschiatrist)
- Have a Nice Day
by Mic Foley (A Pro-Wrestler's Biography, very good story telling)
- Vampire Chronicles & Servant of the Bones
by Anne Rice (romantic horror stories about vampires and ghosts)
- Strange Highways and Tick Tock
by Dean Koontz (twilight zone esque stories... I didn't like the ending of Tick Tock)
- The Miracle Strain
by Darrell Larson (about making a clone from the DNA of Christ)
- The Last Precinct
by Patricia Cornwell (very fast paced, mystery, suspense, thriller)
- Get in The Van
by Henry Rollins (biography of a punk rock singer)
I'm sure I left out some so I'll add more as I think of them
