MOBY DlCK by Herman Melville

It is about a whaling ship, it's crew and a whale..

I have read too many books to recommend, but here is a short list to get going.

Anything by Ray Bradbury is usually a good choice, in my opinion.
Mein Kampf - Adolf Hitler (I am a history junkie, so I naturally had to read this).
Snow Crash - Neal Stephenson
I am also a big fan of Stephen King novels.
The Hobbit - J.R.R. Tolkien
The Redwall series - Brian Jacques

Also, I will be editing my post as I think of different books that I wouldn't mind recommending to people.

Far too many books read this year, but the most memorable have been:-

"Word Of Honour" by Nelson De Mille
"The World As I See It" by Albert Einstein
"Night's Dawn" trilogy by Peter F. Hamilton
"Nicholas Nickleby" by Charles Dickens
"Great Expectations" by Dickens
"Bleak House" by Dickens
"The Matewix" by Charlie Hamilton Jones
"Dragon's Egg" by Robert L. Forward

and looking forward to "The Third Chronicles of Thomas Covenant"

Has anyone read Moon seed Stephen Baxtor love it reading it again slowly :hotbounce

The Elder Gods by David & Leigh Eddings. Quite good but I like Robert Jordan's style a bit more.

I'm also reading Oxford Guide to British and American Culture thanks to studying :giddy:

I've been reading and re-reading the Ringworld books by Larry Niven. I picked up Ringworld probably back in 1972. Now there are 4 books that I know of in the series.

Any books by Clive Cussler.
Well written adventure-stories with a bit of almost-believable historic facts twisted in (or not, make up your own mind)
Some of his "claims": Abe Lincoln was not murdered in the theatre, that was a double. The real Lincoln was sent as a prisoner onboard the confederate "ironclad" Texas, which was later found in Africa, in a dried-out side-arm of the Niger river. The ship originally contained the confederate gold. Lincoln's dessicated body (with those of the crew) was still onboard when the ship was found. His body is supposed to have been transported back and buried at the base in front of his Monument in Washington DC.
One of Cussler's characters "found" Jule Verne's "Nautilus" intact near the Hudson River.
One of Cussler's characters "discovered" the remains of the famous Library of Alexandria, somewhere in Texas.

My favourite writer, together with Robert Ludlum.

Currently im reading "A Short History of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson.
A brilliant math book.

Also i read Robert Ludlum (who doesnt ) and the regular Dutch books (im from holland).
