Greetings from italy.Could you advice me on some good books?
The Da vinci Code by Dan Brown


Catcher in the Rye by J.D Salinger


Swansong by Robert McCammon


Needful Things by Stephen King


Life Expectancy, Lightning, and Dragon Tears by Dean Koontz


To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper LeeCould you advice me on some good books?
I will recommend some modern books to you, no classics as those are the same here as in Italy..





FRANK HERBERT-Dune


JOHN GRISHAM- The runaway jury, The Testament


PATRICIA CORNWELL- The main character of her series is a forensic doctor, Kay Scarpetta ( of Italian origin)... these books are fascinating and as you say unputdownable, but you have to read them chronologically, as Scarpetta's private life is part of the books. Highly recommendable..





good luck and have fun... ciao arrivederci......
i think you should read ';The Book Thief : by Markus Zusak';


it takes place in worldwar 2 time and i remember falling asleep in class because i stayed up all night trying to finish reading the book.
Angelas Ashes,Teacher Man and Tis all by Frank McCourt,this is an excellent set of books by this man,they are his memoirs and a really good read





Freedomland by Richard Price





Midnight In The Graden Of Good And Evil by John Berendt





anything by Jonathan Kellerman,Stuart Woods,James Patterson
His Dark Materials Trilogy by Philip Pullman
Kite Runner
How about some murder mysteries?





The Poet by Michael Connelly


Eight Million Ways to Die by Lawrence Block


Sleepyhead by Mark Billingham


Adam, Eve and Pinch Me by Ruth Rendell
I'm not sure it has been traslated but I love Boris Vian's books. Raymond Queneau's are great too.





';Short Stories'; Raymond Carver


Toni Morrison


Oscar Wilde ( especially The picture of Dorian Gray)
Do you like nonfiction? ';Ibn al-Haytham: First Scientist'; tells the fascinating, true story of a medieval Muslim scholar who overcame bouts of mental illness to develop the scientific method two hundred years before the Europeans learned of it鈥攂y reading his books. It was just chosen by California Readers to be part of the 2008 California Collection. You can find reviews of the book and a sample chapter at http://www.ibnalhaytham.net/ If you order from that website, the author will sign the book and inscribe it to whomever you wish.
Not fantasy and couldn't-put-it-down....hmmm....





RAGTIME, by Doctorow


THE FAR PAVILIONS, by Kaye


SACRED HUNGER, by Unger
