In the shadow of the rainbow by Robert franklin leslie

[Catch-up]

Just one? Not fair!

Naked Came the Sasquatch by John Boston

[Who's Wee Dug]

Just like when someone asks to name your 3 or 5 favorite discworld books or author.

[Sjoerd3000]

Well I'll already recommended American Gods by Neil Gaiman, The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov and The People's Act of Love by James Meek in another thread . So the one book I will recommend here is The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón

[bikkit]

Dragons of the autumn twighlight by Tracy Hicman and Margaret Weiss. It's a brilliat book sort of David-Edddings-ish but better. It made me cry, in parts and laugh almost immediatly after. I LOVED it ( thogh terry's book are still better, of course )

[Tiffany]

It is so unfair to only have one, there are so many I like, but this trilogy is good.......

Philip Pullman's Dark Materials.

Yes I know, it's three books, so, I'm a twit, but you do have to read them all to get the story.

They are all very good, Weiss and Hickman are fantastic. I am not sure how many of you know that Margaret Weiss insisted that the characters Tasslehoff the Kender and Raistlin Majere had to be hers alone to write about. I found that to be pretty kewl.

Some of the Dragons are very scary, but a few are really, really kewl. I agree WeeKelda, that is a good choice.

Fireball...fireball...I know it's in here somewhere

I liked this series until about 1/2 way thru the last book. Just went too silly and preachy for me. Shame, had good potenial.

I would recommend World War Z, by Max Brooks (son of Mel Brooks) It is an account of what happended when the world was over run by zombies from key and not so key figures from before, during and after the 'war'. I don't knwo where he learned to write but the social breakdown of goverments, and people is so realistic to be scary! Great book. Had me up late most nights reading it. An off shoot to this book is the Zombie Survival Guide. B

I've just recently bought and read The Zombie Survival Guide and loved it, it was great fun. I'll have to remember to pick up a copy of World War Z the next time I'm in Newcastle.

I recommend Chase The Morning by Michael Scott Rohan; a bizarre - yet curiously effective - mixture of horror, fantasy, swashbuckling naval adventure and magical realism. A yuppy (remember those?) has his life turned upside down when he turns the wrong corner in his local dockyard and finds himself drawn into a shadow world of magic, adventure and horror. The three sequels are rather good as well, but I can't recommend them due to the rules. However, the first novel was initially written as a stand alone story, rather than the opening of a series so can be enjoyed in it's own right.

My recommendation

Schindlers List Thomas Kenneally

Should be on the national curriculum for fifteen years old upwards ... True story, vivid and harsh but full of hope and courage - this book strengthened me at a time when I most voonerable!

[mystmoon]

Eragon by Christopher Paolini, it is nothing like the film.
