I love that series. The Shadow series is great too.

I'm a Sci-fi Fantasy fan when I get the chance to read. Some of my favorites are:

Isaac Asimov
Robert Heinlein
Orson Scott Card
Dan Simmons

My favorite book(s) would have to be the Hyperion series by Dan Simmons

The More Than Complete Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy Trilogy - Douglas Adams.

I read it at least once a year and it never gets old.

I've got my towel ready,

Dooge I have loved every one of them I have read!

All time I would have to say that R.A. Salvatore is my favorite. Peter Hamilton is also a very good read for me.

Just a few...

Richard Marcinko
Ted Bell
Vince Flynn
Brad Thor
Ernest Hemingway
Michael Connelly
Steven J. Cannell
Jeffery Deaver
Louis L'Amour...I've read almost all his stuff
Robert Ludlum/Eric Van Lustbader

I like Stephen King's earlier stuff....not so much things after his accident. "The Stand" and "It" are my favorites.

Right now, I'm starting "Eye of the Needle" by Ken Follett to see if I like his stuff.
