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?

The Bell Jar - Sylvia Plath
Lisa, Bright and Dark - John Neufeld
Lord of the Flies, as someone already mentioned. :)

Heres a fascinating one:

The Worlds Most Evil Men (hey, its good to know!) - Neil
Blandford and Bruce Jones.

Anything by Edgar Allen Poe or Dylan Thomas. :)

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.
