Author Comments:
* = Books that I own.
I am currently reading The Raiders by Harold Robbins*, Goodbye, Janette by Harold Robbins & Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier*
I have a lot more to add...
I'll strike through the ones that I've read.
Cloned From:








How was The Da Vinci Code ? I'm pretty intersted in what others have to say on it coz I myself don't have a very high opinion on it.
I loved it. It's a great book and I can't wait for the movie to come out.
I can recommend The Catcher in the Rye and The Picture of Dorian Gray as a priority.
Two of my all-time favourites.
Thanks. I have the picture of Dorian Gray, my sister just gave it to me so I may read it next.
The Picture of Dorian Gray is at the very TOP of my list of all-time favourites - the best.
Great to see that many Stephen King novels here. Make sure to read It and The Stand, those were my (and many other's) favorites. Salem's Lot, Carrie, The Shining and The Talisman are also really good. The first three parts of Different Seasons (The Body, Apt Pupil, Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption) were great, but I didn't like the last part (Breathing Methods).
As for the other authors, I highly recommend Of human bondage and The old man and the sea. Good luck with Dante... :-)
