Clive barker - imajica kept me entertained, nothing wonderful...just good.
Carlos Castaneda - Journey to ixtlan taught me a few good lessons, just be careful not to make it your religion.

Something made me consider COCDW one of his top masterpieces... Can't remember what though. Have you read Fungi From Yuggoth?.. And what novels are your favourite? Have you seen a photo of HPL smiling?

His best 'Novel' is The Case Of Charles Dexter Ward. He only ever wrote two, the other being 'At The Mountains Of Madness'. All his other works are novellas, short stories or poems.
I think his best story is 'The Color Out Of Space' or 'The Whisperer In The Darkness'.

At The Mountains Of Madness!!! Yes, I like it most, that was the thing I read at night while being very cold and alone and I finished it like around 5.00 am and noone was still around, and the dawn was amazing and inhuman... I love life ever since.

you have to understand that that due to language disabilities i use novel for a short story. it translates 'novelli' so i figured it would be the right word. sorry for my igrnorance; i meant NOVELLA.

'Titan' - by Stephen Baxter. It's a sci-fi novel about NASA's last roll of the dice before it's effectively shut down - sending a shuttle on a one-way trip to Titan. Perhaps the most depressing book I've ever read, but boy does it make you think.
Ian Kershaws's two-volume biography of Hitler, 'Hubris' and 'Nemesis', are brilliant reads and feel like the definitive books on their subject.
Sue Townsend's first two Adrian Mole books are fun, particularly if you first read them when young. Go back to them again every few years and become aware of new humour on different levels every time.
'Archangel' by Robert Harris is a superlative thriller set in Moscow and the frozen wastes of Arctic Russia.
Carl Hiaasen is one of the funniest authors around. I've read his books up to 'Native Tongue', though I must admit I didn't like that one at all.
Finally, 'Rashomon & Other Stories' by Ryunosuke Akutagawa should be read simply because it's a classic that everyone should experience at least once in their life. Very short too, so the quicker readers will get through it within a day.
