That is an awesome book. But, which version? There is an edited and unedited version.
My all time favorite would be "Different Seasons" by Stephen King, but more specifically "The Body".
But, I do absolutely love The Left Behind series.

That is an awesome book. But, which version? There is an edited and unedited version.Unedited all the way. :cool: I'd owned and read the edited version in paperback a long time before King had enough editorial control to rerelease it the later unedited version, but went out and bought that one just as soon as it came out. The extra stuff gives the whole book a little more depth.
Some of his later books though, :rolleyes: , sometimes I wish he had a little LESS editorial control, he just has this tendancy to ramble on and on and on...

I read the unedited first. I think it is much better than the edited.
I totally agree. My favorite ones are his earlier stuff. I really liked The Gunslinger Series and wanted him to hurry with the final ones, until they came out. I got the last two and only read the first chapter of the second to last one. I have since gotten rid of my Stephen King collection, except for a few favorites and collector's editions.

I tried reading the Gunslinger series, but had a hard time getting through the first one (don't think I ever finished it, actually). My favorite off-shoot books are Desperation and The Regulators. It's a real trip to read those two back to back, because he uses most of the same characters in both, but they're not the same people in both books.
Night Shift - one of his first books of short stories - is another goodie. Even though The Mangler LITERALLY kept me up for several nights the first time I read it, jumping at every little weird noise. :eek:
Dean Koontz is another good author. I probably actually prefer him to Stephen King now for that genre.

Him and Tom Clancy both. I really like reading books about submarines and Navy SEALS but I get really annoyed at the 20 page descriptions of what the specific bolts they use on the torpedo tube blah blah...just get to the story.
I've been enjoying Patrick Robinson's books lately.
Also our very own D. Shane Burton (ChristChild)'s Orianus Creation Series.

That's funny because I just started reading the Redwall books. I'm reading Moussflour now(my first one). I also like the LOTR trilogy but I do think the Hobbit, although not as good, is alot easier to read.
I am a big fan of the Babylon Rising Series but I have not read book four yet
If I HAD to pick a favorite it would be the Prydain Chronicles by Alexander Lloyd while not as widely know as Narnia or LOTR it is still at the top.
I actually think its better in some ways than the others
The ONLY thing that it tops LOTR in is that it is easier to read. LOTR while the best is very very difficult to read at times
Im not really a Narnia fan because Narnia is not a series about one set of characters adventures the bookd are not really linked. Like LOTR and the P.C
I LOVE Jack Higgins novels. I've read over forty of them. The really cool thing is that most of his books deal with I.R.A and the troubles in Ireland. He got me interested in that

My Name Is Asher Lev by Chaim Potok
Quite simply the most beautiful novel I have ever read. It's hard for me to put into words... basically, it's about the young life of a Hasidic Jew who is torn between the world of art and the world of his strict religion. It's not a spiritual book, but it's made me think just as much as any Christian book ever has. I HIGHLY recommend this one!

When was the last time you read them? They are all totally linked together!
Anyway. The Chronicles of Narnia would be up there as my fave books.
Anne (with an 'e'!) of Green Gables -Lucy Maud Montgomery. Ahhhhh *sigh* Gilbert Blythe!
Little Women - Louisa May Alcott
I could read any of these books over an over. Have done since I was a child - it's comfort reading!
I also love Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier.

Three books are at the top of my list:
"The Elvis Conspiracy?" (http://www.alibris.com/search/search.cfm?qwork=2011322&wtit=The%20Elvis%20Conspi racy&matches=1&qsort=r&cm_re=works*listing*title ) by Elvis Presley's former head of security Dick Grob detailing the events before and during and after August 16, 1977...it's a humongous book which I paid a hefty price ($82.50) for but well worth it!
"Elvis Aaron Presley: Revelations From The Memphis Mafia" (http://www.alibris.com/search/detail.cfm?chunk=25&mtype=&wtit=Elvis%20Aaron%20Pres ley%20%20Revelations%20Fr om%20The%20Memphis%20Mafi a&qwork=2011277&S=R&bid=9021827752&pbest=4%2E87&pqtynew=1&pbestnew=240%2E00&page=1&matches=19&qsort=r) is also another good book written by a cousin (Billy Smith) and two former "Memphis Mafia" members (Lamar Fike-who has his own book coming out later this year-and Marty Lacker).
"Last Train To Memphis: The Rise Of Elvis Presley" (http://www.alibris.com/search/books/qwork/3761850/used/Last%20Train%20to%20Memph is:%20The%20Rise%20of%20E lvis%20Presley)/"Careless Love: The Unmaking Of Elvis Presley" (http://www.alibris.com/search/detail.cfm?chunk=25&mtype=&wtopic=Elvis%20Presley&wauth=Peter%20Guralnick&qwork=930972&S=R&bid=9086381052&pbest=1%2E99&pqtynew=42&pbestnew=2%2E94&page=1&matches=133&qsort=p)--both by Peter Guralnick and both are absolutely thrilling (and heartbreaking) to read--especially "Careless Love: The Unmaking Of Elvis Presley".

I like Lord of the Ringses. Even though reading all the spelled out detail can be painstaking to read.
Thats one of the pluses of Narnia. Its pretty easy to read and follow.

The Jedi Academy trilogy
Almost all of the Young Jedi Knights series
Isards revenge(of the X-wing series)

Attack on Adumar(not sure exactly what its called, its apart of the X-wing series)

Hmm... My favorite book is Black Storm Rising because it is the first one I wrote. The writing is stronger in the second and third ones, When Worlds Rage and Dark Tyrant's Ascension, but BSR was my first. The three books are really one trilogy, and they are favorites because of the great amount of time they took over an approximate four year period of my life. The complex stories I had to weave together from my imagination were a challenge. Most people that read them, enjoyed them, but for some people they were "too much," and they didn't like them.
Sadly, my fourth sci-fi/fantasy book has been stalled for a long time around 30,000 words, and my first mostly fantasy novel has stalled at 40,000 words. I wrote short stories and poems for a while, yet those have stalled too. So, I guess my 555,000+ word trilogy with have to stand alone until something changes. Anyway...

Hi everyone. Just thought I would weigh in. I absolutely ADORE The Chronicles of Narnia and my favorite of all those books is "The Magician's Nephew." In it, (if some are not familiar) it tells how "Aslan" made the world and its inhabitants and also explains how the wardrobe came to be as well as where the white witch comes into the picture. I cry streams when Aslan is giving life to the inhabitants of Narnia.......Just breathtaking.. Actually, as long as it is NARNIA, I love it, Aslan in particular.

Thanks, Zack. I wish I could get back into writing again as well. I've only been able to focus on editing BSR lately, as I want to one day publish a revised omnibus of the first three novels.
Here is a small piece of book four, though--(rough draft)--just because you care: :cool:
Timrod sat at his usual post within Cangara Epsilon, the most remote space station in the Brin Star System. It orbited the large gas giant planet of Maroosh, the sixth planet in that system.
“Hey you @#$%, I told you to check the @#$% deep watch camera! Do I have to put you on report again!?”
Timrod’s guts twisted in a knot at the sound of his boss’ profanity-laden voice. The man was a complete jerk, though Timrod knew he had been lax in his duties this time. His anger didn’t flare quite as hot at the rebuke as it normally would. He switched to the camera in question without responding, as his boss moved on down the hall to the next observation station to harass Jenli. He never treated her as severely though. Timrod thought the old man may be sweet on her. Timrod broke from his thoughts and looked up at his monitor. The camera showed only blackness where there should be a multitude of stars. He squinted in confusion, and then adjusted his magnification back and forth. When he reduced the magnification to its greatest extent, he could see stars around the edge of a huge, rough sphere. His jaw fell open. He stood and ran down the hall in a panic, screaming his boss’ name, “Forix! Forix!”
The man popped his scowling face out of the open door to Jenli’s station room and yelled, “What the @#$% is it, Timrod!? Why the @#$% are you hollering like a madman!?”
Timrod screeched to a halt before his boss. The look on his face communicated volumes, and before he could say a word, Forix’s expression changed to one of grave concern. Forix directed, “Show me,” as he followed the frantic Timrod back to his station. Jenli was right behind them.
Forix muscled Timrod aside to look at his monitor. Jenli rose on her toes, trying to gain a peek at the screen. Forix’s mouth dropped open as he reached for the magnification adjustment. When he found it was already at its lowest setting, his face drained of even more color. He slowly stepped to the side as Jenli pushed her way between the two men. Soon all three were standing there in silence, jaws hanging.
Five seconds later the space station was struck by a rock the size of a small island! It was moving at a speed approximate to an Earthly three hundred thousand miles per hour. The three people, the huge space station, and everyone else aboard, were violently rendered into dust-sized particles in the twinkling of an eye. Trailing dust and fine debris from the space station, the huge asteroid continued its headlong charge into the atmosphere of the gas giant before it. Many other asteroids, some smaller, and some larger than itself, shared its fate. Suddenly, the whole far side of the gas giant flared with massive eruptions of fire, exploding gas, and rock. The gas giant wobbled in its orbit, but obstinately held together. Its moons were not as fortunate though. They were rent asunder by the massive debris field from beyond the star system. The moons broke apart and added to the meteoric cloud of destruction sweeping from outer space into the Brin Star System.

Right now I am reading "My Heart's Cry" and it's not too shabby.
I like anything by Max Lucado. I would love to buy all of his books.
My other fave is "Hinds Feet on High Places" by Hannah Hurnard. It's a (long)children's book, but it is very precious to me, because I read it when I was a baby in Christ.
I really enjoyed the Left Behind series. Whether or not it's biblically accurate, I see a bit of both on it. Nevertheless, one of my favorite series.
I've been wanting to read "Waking the Dead", so that will be next after I finish my selections from my last trip to the library.

Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers has to be one of the best books I have ever read. I don't usually read fiction but someone told me I had to read it....NOW I'm hooked on ALL Francine Rivers books! You don't feel like you are reading fiction as it really works on your heart and draws you closer to the Lord. Her books suck your heart in. She is a very gifted writer!

I like anything by Jack Higgins except for a book called Memoirs of a Dance Hall Romeo about a young mans experience with various women. It's kinda like one of those andolescent tales of his "discovery" if you know what I mean.:D ;)
I guess some liked it because Higgins tried something completly new(he writes military thrillers). I thought however that it was rather pointless.

Soul Cravings -- Erwin Raphael McManus
Waking the Dead and The Journey of Desire -- by John Eldrege
The Sacred Romance -- John Eldredge & Brent Curtis
I have started on another McManus book and have a Eldredge book in line to follow.
I'm reading Stephen King's 'Salem's Lot. Creepy! I have so many favorites, but since I'm ready that - I'll say it's my fav.
My second favorite is by Dean Koontz: False Memory.

DragonLance - "The Legend of Huma".
Awesome fantasy book.
By Weis and Hickman?
I think I read some of their Dragonlance books when I was in high school.

Well, Tracy Hickman and Marget Weis had a lot to do with the overall storyline of it, but it was a guy named Richard Knaak who wrote it.
This book is a must read if you even remotely like Fantasy. Every sort of Fantasy topic is mentioned in this book. This is a whole portrait of all Fantasy scenes.
Huma is what DragonLance is centered on. Everything revolves around that one man in that entire bookseries.
He was a knight who didn't think he had what it took to be in the knighthood, and come to find out, through supernatural means, he becomes the biggest hero that the land had ever had or ever will have.
I read this book a few years ago for the first time. I had always wanted to read this, but never got around to it, and I am so glad that I did finally got to read this. It was worth every word printed on every page.
I have never read a better fantasy book than this.

Uh...no. You should read some Augustine, young grasshopper. And some Martin Luther while you're at it.
