hey guys and girls. As someone who reads constantly, looking for some new reading material please.

so feel free to suggest some books that really blew your mind.. perhaps even a top five of your fav books of all time.

I tend to read of lot of fantasy/horror/supernatural... or any type of book that sees the real world cross itself with something supernatural.

However, that's not all I read. Love the classics as well. So feel free to give me some suggestions.

I am reading "Black Wind" by Clive Cussler.

The story starts out in 1944 with the Japanese carrying biogeneric material in bombs aboard planes to bomb the north east coast of America.

A ship sees them and blasts them out of the sky.

The planes go to the bottom of the ocean with the gases still in the bombs.

People along the west coast shoreline are dying. Autopsies are done and it's learned what they died from.

Story jumps to 2007 when a U.S. government research ship hears about the deaths and attempts to dive to the bottom of the ocean to get the bombs.

The Japanese and North Korea are involved in ways you wouldn't believe.

I'll stop here cause I don't want to spoil the story for anyone who reads the book.

If you like books that keep you on edge, this is a good one.

I read your profile... I thought that was a good start. Other than that.. I have read ,

"You can get arrested for that" by Rich Smith
"Great Australian Railway Stories" by Bill Marsh
" Good Girls don't make history" by Jan Stradling
"True History of the Kelly Gang" by Peter Carey
"Red carpets and other banana skins" by Rupert Everett

My reading list is rather eclectic. However I do have to agree with one of the ladies above... Clive Cussler is very entertaining

My favorite author is Ken Follett. The list is too long to name all his books. Probably his most famous is "Pillars Of The Earth" which was a very difficult book to follow but I got through it.

One of these days I'm going to tackle a book that's been on my bookshelf for a long time. A little 'ol thing by Tolstoy, "Anna Karena"..help
